Parklands Motel

Location is the winner here. Central to everything. Just a short stroll & you are there. The electric blanket was perfect for a chilly NZ evening.

Particular room had large bathroom window which opens at a height that may cause some privacy issue.

The motel was in an excellent location being only a few minutes walk across a park to the shopping centre and restaurants. The lake was only a few minutes away as well.

Nothing. While it is somewhat dated it was certainly warm and cosy. We had a small garden at the front of our sun-drenched living room.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. The family room was great for families with children, and there was some play equipment right outside the door. The laundry was good, and the shared kitchen area was amazing. There were 12 of us travelling together and we cooked breakfast and dinner in this area - with room for us all to sit and eat. The kitchen area was scrupulously clean! The motel is situated opposite a lovely park. It is a short stroll through the park to get to the shops. The owners were very helpful in advising us of our trip to Milford Sound, and also where to go if we wanted to eat out. They can arrange all bookings for you for the caves and for the cruises.
