“We recently stayed here for our second work visit and were once again impressed by the friendly managers and the exceptional cleanliness. This place is clean, tidy, and quiet — just perfect! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you!”

“Was booked into this place for the first time and omg, what a pleasant surprise. Owner operated, so attention to detail and great customer service. Rooms were perfctly clean and well serviced. Sky TV a bonus. Day 2 was super hot so had a quick dip ⁹in the salt pool. Highly recommend a swim and pool towels are provided free. Loads of parking. Close to town. Had the breakfast on my last morning and it was huge, you'd be hard pressed to beat that and the price. Well deserved 5 stars... will definitely return.”

“Nice property. Had a mate's wedding there. The ambience was great. The rooms were pretty clean. Loved it overall.”

“Best Hostel I‘ve ever been to. Wanted to stay for a weekend and bow it‘s already more than am month. Living in the Hostel feels like renting a house with friends and family. I would recommend it!”

“Amazing office lady!!!!! Had a wonderful stay will definitely be back to stay”

“Very highly recommend this motel! The location is perfect - right beside a bus stop, and walking distance to the supermarket. The daily service was excellent. The studio we stayed in was perfect - new and clean. It was very quiet. The bed was really comfortable with a bamboo topped mattress. The staff were super helpful and very friendly. We look forward to staying again.”

“Great motel, lovely staff, room was super clean and comfortable, plenty of amenities and free guest laundry was a bonus! We stayed a week here and couldn't have been more comfortable. Happy come back.”

“Very clean (spotless!), new and well appointed rooms in a quiet location. Friendly service. Bed is comfortable, nice large TV with full Sky. All at a great price. Highly recommended.”

“The unit is better than expected. This is like home away from home, it is so well equipped. The unit has obviously been refurbished. Very clean, tidy, and so handy to the hospital. Just bring earplugs if you're not used to traffic noise.”

“Fantastic motel and really good value for money would definitely recommend”

“Lovely spacious room. Incredibly comfortable king bed. The location is absolutely ideal, close to the beach and local restaurants. The staff are very helpful and polite. Clean room at a great price. Just what we needed to feel comfortable. I will be back again. Thank.you for a wonderful stay.”

“Great value and plenty of space in rooms to move around easily. Lovely big bathrooms with good sized showers. Appreciate their 11 am check out time.”

“Loved staying here, the people and atmosphere were really nice there. It had a rustic style that gave it a proper hostel vibe unlike some others around Auckland. Place was clean and staff were super friendly. The area is not the best but I never had any issues walking the street at night. The only issue I had was the dryer costs $6 and it didn't dry my stuff, I had to use it twice to get my stuff dry. Apart from that I'd recommend this to anyone.”

“Stunning little lodge near Auckland, and convenient for the airport.”

“For an older motel, the hospitality and service, and the location to the hospital far outweighed the upgrades the motel does not have. When my husband had a heart attack and was helicoptered to Wellington, the beautiful lady that runs the motel was extremely accommodating, including letting me leave my car there after I checked out so I didn't have to pay for hospital parking while I was waiting for him to be discharged. The water pressure in the shower was amazing. There was more coffee, hot chocolate, and sugar sachets than any other motel I have ever stayed in, and for main road, it was pretty quiet in my room. The location to Wellington Regional Hospital couldn't be better. Literally straight across the road. And there are lots of amenities in walking distance including a supermarket. Would I stay here again? Without a doubt. Would I recommend you stay? Absolutely, as long as you can overlook the need of upgrades and just appreciate what a hard working dedicated motellier provides in terms of hospitality and warmth.”

“The cleanest, most comfortable motel we have ever stayed at. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the cleaners certainly take pride in their work. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.”

“Perfectly impersonal and brilliantly minimalist. Big, bright windows, and furnishings with simple, clean lines made the room an ideal sanctuary. Kettle, microwave, fridge, TV, and tea/coffee supplies covered all the bases. A cool little guest closet down the hall held dishware, cutlery, irons and boards, as well as few extra linens. This keeps down the cost of supplying every room with items not everyone uses. The lobby entry and kiosk check-in procedures are simple and well-communicated. As a business model, this hotel is about as sleek an efficient of a passive income generator as you can get in the hospitality space. I want to emphasize that even though the room is simply furnished and designed to be easily cleaned, maintained, and turned over for the next guest, it is not a blank cell, but more like a lovely lKEA showspace. As a bonus, the excellent Oikos Hellenic Cuisine restaurant is just across the road.”

“Perfect for what I need. One bedroom apartment has cooking facilities, lazyboy chairs, a good size TV with Sky. Comfortable Bed & great shower pressure. would definitely stay again”

“This motel is great , we always stay here when we go to christchurch, it lets you have dogs and has a closed in area for the dogs to have a run around, very clean rooms and friendly staff highly recommend”

“Location was perfect, everythink down the road. My Daughter had the Best Experience in the pool and she loved how Beautiful our room was. We cant wait to come back”

“I stayed here for 1,5 month and it has been a great experience! Loved the mount, loved the staff, hostel was clean and well maintained. A little pricy but worth the cost. Close to the beach and not too far from the bars. I really enjoyed my stay here and it will always have a place in my heart! The only feedback I have is that the bunk beds are wobbly and only the bottom bunk has curtains.”

“This place is an immaculately clean sanctuary where the true hospitality and generosity of provisions make a huge difference. By far the best sleep I’ve ever had on the road. Our bed was huge! My partner is over 6ft and he loved it. The sheets are cotton and breathe well. The blankets are cozy and there are loads of plush pillows. The room was quite large and we even had a little private courtyard. I cannot overstate how incredibly clean absolutely everything is - every draw, every edge, every single corner. The staff do an outstanding job. Everything is so generous about this place - no mean corner cutting. From the conditioner to the cutlery everything is good quality and you want for nothing. The bathroom is also good - ours was wetroom style, had great shower pressure and a gorgeous spa - it was extremely well ventilated. We had a brilliant time here and would recommend it to anyone. The owners are really lovely also - thank you Jane and Hugh. Even the art on the walls is decent. The only single flaw would be there were slat blinds on the tall window by the door next to the bed which meant light comes in very easily in the morning and I like blackout curtains to sleep. Other than that - everything is outstanding at a very reasonable price.”

“Very good and warm hostel! I went there 3 times at different times during my road trip and everyone was always welcoming and everything was clean. The lady at the entrance was very kind and warm. Good location and good to have a computer access.”

“We stayed here for a night after the recent Pearl Jam concert and would absolutely stay here again. Once we got out of the city and on the motor way it was a quick trip back to our unit. The rooms were tidy and comfortable. Service was fabulous. The motel was easy to find and well situated.”

“It was a pleasant stay. The manager on site was super helpful and friendly. Close to everything I needed mainly my favourite takeouts, My motel was clean and all amenities worked perfectly. I will definitely be back”

“I had an amazing experience with this hotel. The staff went above and beyond to help me even after I had checked out, they kindly assisted me with sending my forgotten belongings to Auckland. Their kindness, patience, and professionalism truly touched me. The location is convenient, the rooms are clean and cozy, and the service is exceptional. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Wellington. Thank you so much again and you deserve all the best!”

“Staff were friendly and helpful. The Racecourse Hotel was quite central to catching up with family and friends. It also felt central to shops, supermarkets and places of interest. Our room was simple but comfortable with all that we needed. It had a tv, microwave, toaster and dishes. Our room was clean with towels changed daily. We extended our stay from 6 nights to 12 nights. We will certainly stay again when we venture down next time. Highly recommend. Great restaurant just across from our room and we had a few drinks at the bar where we won a couple of meat raffles. GREAT PLACE.”

“We stayed in the three room family apartment. It was very clean, modern, and well set out, with a TV in each room, and a large and functional bathroom. Super comfortable beds! Close to the city and very reasonably priced, this was the best accommodation on this quick trip around the south island.”

“Once again it was a lovely stay at Ulster motor lodge Very clean warm room The owner is a lovely lady friendly wonderful talking with My wife and i recommend staying here any time of the year”
