A genuinely warm NZ welcome.
Sadly it was only an overnight stop but the welcome was warm and hosts very helpful. The unit was one the most spacious and best designed we have stayed in. We fully recommend the motel and the town of Gore - a really friendly place with some quirky shops and delicious food.

We really enjoyed our stay here the host was awesome really friendly and accomodating and knowledgeable of things to do for kids. The rooms were nice and clean and a really good size. Not to far from town but nice and close to some parks which is great for kids. I would be happy to stay here again.
