The Lakes Motel

The room we stayed was huge, it had a little kitchen with everything you need, a huge leaving room with sofas and chairs and a big TV, and the bedroom with a great size too. Each room has its own heat pump, which is great for colder days. The staff was amazing, the person I talked to was super nice and gave a lot of tips of what to do in town, where to eat, and what was the best time to go to Mt Cook.

Rooms are excellent! Well done up, new, thoughtful and clean. The floors are heated!! The rooms are also spacious - we were three of us and had enough space. The property also has laundry facilities. The service staff were warm and patient.

The proximity to the pub to watch the All Blacks 😁 The friendly helpful owner. Having a coffee cart across the road. Having the golf course across the road , but sadly closed due to foggy & Hoare frosts. Big spacious bathroom with lots of hot water & great pressure.

Quality of rooms was amazing. Room was equipped with kitchen which was good and close to town restaurants. The staff was amazing, they allowed to check in earlier.

On the outside, the motel looks like it's from the set of an 80s American movie but the room was lovely. I say room, it comprised a well stocked kitchenette (incl fridge), bathroom, living space and separate bedroom. Parking spot outside. Very comfortable, clean and the proprietor at the desk was very helpful and friendly. Gave us a wee bottle of milk too! Excellent location for a short walk to find restaurants, shops etc.
