  Donna is very friendly. Left the keys for me when I arrive at midnight. The rooms are quite clean.

  Being from the states, I tend to read "motel" as "trashy hotel," but this cute motel was better than most hotel rooms. There is a kitchenette in the room that includes a microwave, which was useful for making a small dinner and breakfast. Free tea, coffee, and hot chocolate - the owners even give you fresh milk for drinks. It's owned by a lovely couple who are very friendly and can offer many suggestions for things to do. A nice amenity is their selection of DVDs that they let you watch for free. The DVD player was tricky to work though, as the remote wasn't able to control it, but we did watch a whole movie one night, a relaxing break from busy days of traveling and excursions. There's no AC, so it can get a bit stuffy in the room, but it's manageable with the fan provided and windows open. And it seems that almost no places in NZ have AC anyway. I do wish 171 on High had screens in the windows though to keep bugs from getting in. Two black cats roam the premises, one friendly and the other shy. You may just find them peering into your room or lounging around the parking lot. Nothing to fear unless you are deathly allergic to them. Overall, it's a very comfortable and welcoming place to stay.
