We received a lovely welcome and were escorted to our room, which was warm, very clean and tidy... More

We really enjoyed our recent stay at Tower Road Motel. Our unit was exceptionally clean, tidy and reasonably priced. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area, providing advice about directions, places to eat etc.

This is an old fashioned style motel, in the nicest way, with comfy beds, showers that work well, pretty grounds and gardens, well equipped kitchenette, and a hospitable host. Enjoyed our short stay before seeing Hobbiton.

I choose this motel for its garden area as I was traveling with 2 young boys who needed to stretch their legs and have a place to wander and explore after being in the car for several hours. Tower Road provided all of this. Karen, our host was very friendly and helpful with any request especially about tourist attractions and... More

Three of us on a New Zealand road trip stayed here for 1 night, so we could visit Hobbiton. The Motel is on the outskirts of town, which we found easily. It is a reasonably priced Motel I booked easily on-line 2 days before. Karen was very welcoming and helpful. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Nice linen and towels,... More

Booked to stay here after a visit to Hobbiton. Walked in and straight back out. We had 2 rooms booked and both smelled really musty. Like they had been closed up and damp for weeks. Which is strange in the middle of a drought!
