The Best Place To Rest In Wairarapa!
Ian and Michelle couldn’t have been more accommodating or friendly hosts.
They were good enough to allow us early check in, which was really helpful as we had perishable food in a cool box to put in the fridge.
Our room had a very comfortable bed, powerful shower and even a great iron!
The motel is very conveniently located to all the great shops that Greytown has to offer.
It also has a good sized car park which all rooms are close to.
Highly recommended.
