Comfortable beds. Property was clean. But I would have expected air con. Our room was 26 degrees at night with only the option of opening windows to cool the room, which I didn’t feel comfortable with doing on the ground floor given there were no security locks.

Dated motel
Very dated motel. Uncomfortably hot during our stay but no fan or Aircon. A few insects inside but I know this sometimes can't be helped. There was an unexpected air fryer in the room but otherwise a basic room. Didn't like that they charged my credit card before I arrived which incurred card fees I could have avoided had they waited until I checked in. Of the multiple hotels we stayed in during our NZ trip this was the worst, but it'll do if it's your only option.
