My husband and I stayed here en route to Christchurch and arrived late in the day. We were shown to a nice modern unit which was reasonably priced. Although the motel is situated on the main road, we did not notice any traffic noise. We enjoyed a short walk into the shopping area to the supermarket and a restaurant for... More

This accommodation was well appointed and as stated in many reviews very clean and well maintained. We spent our last night in New Zealand in Geraldine and this completed our stay on a very positive and enjoyable note.

One of the cleanest motels I ever stayed at. It makes all the difference for me - in fact I do not return to a place where rooms are not nice and clean. Everything was comfortable at this place, the shower for example has such a water pressure its like having a massage. Great sized rooms and good location. Recommended... More

Stayed here with a family group for a 3 day mini-vacation to Geraldine. The motel has a great location within easy walking distance of shops, supermarket, pub and cafes. Also a short walk to the wonderful trails through the native bush in the Talbot Forest Scenic Reserve. The motel units are clean and modern, with tasteful decor and comfortable beds.

Very clean, reasonably modern. Walking distance to town. Our room was made up on the second day (i.e. bed made / clean towels / cleaned) which we have not experienced in motels we have stayed at recently. Like option of both trim or normal milk. Happy to recommend.

The location was good on the main road right in Geraldine. The room was a decent size with everything you might need. It was well kept and clean and tidy. Couldn't ask for more really. We were at the back so didn't have any road noise.

We asked for a quiet room and were given one away from the main road. The weather was not great, so it was dark inside the room. Our double studio room was more than adequate, with a small dining table and two chairs, plus a two-seater couch.The kitchenette had a two-ring electric hob and everything required for cooking a full...

We spent one night in Geraldine after landing in Christchurch in preparation for heading up to the Alps. We found this motel a perfect introduction to New Zealand hospitality. Rooms were spacious and very clean, location was perfect, 3 minute walk to the centre of the township. Rob was more than accommodating and had great suggestions on where to eat... More
