Thornton Lodge Motel

Steve went above and beyond to be helpful, accommodating, friendly and welcoming. We had a very late check-in (having driven from Auckland) and found everything perfectly ready for us. Convenient, clean, comfortable. Met our needs perfectly. Will definitely stay again when we are next in Waipukarau.

We stayed in a Family Apartment on our Christmas roadtrip and it had everything we needed as a family of 5 with 3 young kids. Kids room was spacious with 3 comfy beds and a queen bed in the living area for us. Room was somewhat 'compact' and I don't think I'd want to stay for more than 1 night, as it might be a bit on the small side for a longer stay, but it suited us for our 'passing through' stay. The kids absolutely loved the motel pool, which was very safe for our 3 young kids (aged 4, 6 & 8). Was worried that the road noise would be an issue overnight, but we all slept soundly with no noise issues. Would recommend as a clean and tidy option for an overnight stay in Waipukurau.

Very welcoming place to stay. The unit was modern and very comfortable. Everything we needed. We stayed 2 nights with our dog .No problem. Great hosts , good location, handy to everything. Thoroughly recommend.

We had two nights at this motel and it was absolutely worth the money. Whilst it is a wee walk from town, it was quiet, the room was superb and great value for money. Glad we didn’t get a room in the motels in town!! This place was perfect

Friendly staff, Good kitchen and beds etc. Clean and tidy. Able to park right outside. Big pool. We were down for a wedding and this was a great location close to the venue but still close to town. Unfortunately I was too busy icing cakes to use the pool.

auf unserer rundreise machten wir in diesem motel halt, für eine nacht. nun generell , kann man nicht viel erwarten von einem motel, aber dieses übertrifft alles, dass einzige positive war, die knappe nette begrüssung beim einchecken. man kann auch noch pber die karge infrastruktur der hotelanlage und gebäude hinweg schaun, sowie die abglebten möbel, die nicht zusammen passen. aber dass man von anfang an , auf voller stärke die klimaanlage brauchte, um einigermassen, es auszuhalten im zimmer, da keine isolierung im ganzen appetement waren, im badezimmer war es wie im kühlschrank.neben dem klo am boden schimmel, die duschbrause praktisch kein druck, die nachtische, wie div. lichtschalter klebten!die kopfkissen rochen stark unangehhem, meine bettdecke war schmutzig, und im bad lagen lange haare herum. früh am morgen packten wir unsere sachen, und waren froh zu gehen. wir waren erstaunt, über die guten bewertungen, denn wir waren der meinung es ist hier unzumutbar.
