It's not 5-star but it doesn't pretend to be - it's just a good solid Kiwi motel! It's got a nice quiet location, is always very clean and tidy, and is great value for money. The Hobbit will always be our first choice whenever we're in the area. ##### Roger Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Johanna 5 Mar 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Polite staff.
