The family motel unit was really spacious and well fitted-out with everything we needed. The location was really convenient for Anakiwa (for the Outward Bound school and the end of the Queen Charlotte Track). Very friendly hosts.

What can I say, this motel was all we could wish for. Wonderful owners, Pat & Katrina who made us very welcome and couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. If you want peace & quiet with lovely views & walks this is the place for you. The motel is clean & comfortable. Katrina was very helpful with any... More

Once again very impressed with the standard of the rooms, the setting and the excellent service provided by Pat and Katerina. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Accommodation is amazing value for money and the beds were very very comfortable.

These snobs turned us away after a long day of driving. Their website said they had 5 rooms available, and the vacancy sign was out. However the owner was adamant they had no rooms when we enquired at reception and told us to keep driving.

We stayed here two years ago and loved the peace and quiet of the location. I didn't like the motel quite so much on this visit, but would be happy to stay again if in the area, so any criticisms are quite minor. To be honest, I was a bit put off by the number of men - friends of... More

Our room was big and very modern. We had a beautiful view and it was very quiet. The price is very low for that kind of quality! The service was good. Also it is a good stop, if you want to walk the queen charlotte track as it is very close by. I can highly recommend this Motel.

Yes it is about 20 km from Picton but the location, price and the very scenic drive is awesome. Complex is fairly new, and units are very clean, spacious and modern. Hosts were very friendly and have a great sense of humour. We stayed two separate nights, one upstairs and more comfortably on the ground floor on the second which... More

Nice people and beautiful location but its a decent distance from the ferry - about 30 minute drive - so not ideal if you have to be at the ferry by 5.30am for the first sailing of the day. Food at the local inn (Linkwater Inn) was very average

Spacious room, stunning quiet location. Room wasn't very clean but had everything we needed. Take food supplies as the closest "tavern" (Linkwater Inn) has a limited menu, mostly deep fried with chips cooked in old cooking oil. Other nearest eateries are 17km away in Havelock Tip: Request a room on ground floor if you are unable/have difficulty using stairs Note:... More
