Very smart, tidy clean and friendly motel. The owner met us on arrival and was more than happy to assist us where we needed it. Everything you need is supplied with a kitchenette and they even offer a morning tea or coffee service direct to your room. Rooms are spotless and location is great. Excellent Motel!

Chai or Hot Chocolate or espresso on arrival Very friendly and infinitely helpful host. Just great. Would happily stay here again. Spacious and quiet in the back bedroom of a 2 bedroom unit. On departing the host remembered where we were going and made a lunch recommendation.

Well appointed room comfortable very large bed, good kitchen-et, very clean and very friendly staff lovely place to stay. Ashburton was a nice quite country town. Kay was wonderful and very friendly, went to dinner at the place suggested. The shower was hot and the towels fluffy. Great place to stay.

We spent one night at Taylors Motel on our South. Arriving at 7.30pm tired and hungry we were greeted by Kay who was extremely friendly and helpful. She showed us the very last room, recommended somewhere for dinner with a 10% discount, gave us free WiFi and coffee in the morning. The room was excellent, nice and warm, a good... More

We stopped at Taylor's Motel after a long drive from Dunedin - there was only one room left, a 2 brm unit which Kay (manager) gave us for the studio rate. I have to say Kay is an amazing motel manager - she can not do enough for you, and goes out of her way to ensure her guests are... More

A warm welcome here and nothing is too much trouble. Free wifi. Laundry facilities. Cooking facilities. Clean and tidy. Our Two bedroom apartment was probably somewhat small for four adults, our two friends did not have space for both their cases in the twin bedroom. But fine for one night. Christchurch airport is within easy reach if you are coming... More

Stayed here for 1 night on arrival in New Zealand. We were given a very warm welcome and helped up with our bags to our room. We were in the smallest room and on reflection we wish we had booked a slightly larger one as they had more rspace and better cooking facilities. However as a stopover it was perfectly... More

This beautiful motel is only about an hour from the Christchurch airport- in a lovely garden ( why don't these same flowers look like that in Australia?) The rooms are large, spotlessly clean and there are BBQ facilities in the aforementioned garden. Kaye Bradley and her staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere here is relaxing and friendly ( like... More
