Apple Motor Inn

What a great budget option. The service was fantastic.....nothing was too much trouble when we asked for anything. Staff were very friendly. Parking is superb. Room warm with air pump and wall heater. Bed comfortable. Room serviced daily and towels changed daily. Great price for a week's stay for a conference in Havelock North. We were permitted to bring our cats with us when we booked a year out from our visit and when our cat situation changed and we left them at home, the owner was disappointed! We'd definitely stay here again.

Plenty of rooms to share

I chose not to stay here because the whole atmosphere of the place was not pleasant. The whole property looks rough and I felt quite unsafe being there.

I booked last minute and only after I booked, did I check the reviews. I was very nervous upon checking in but overall if was everything you need for a 1 night stay. We were going to Splashplanet so it was so conveniently close by. I had called a couple of times before we got there to check a few things and found the person on the other end of the phone very helpful and polite. Check in was easy and although the rooms are basic, we had a clean and comfortable space. The bed was comfy and minimal noise surrounding us. We didn't use the motel pool but other families were enjoying it while we were there. One thing for owners to consider would be better locks for the doors in the rooms and the external door to 2nd floor. I did feel a bit vulnerable with only the push lock on the unit door and there was no lock to lock the external door leading down to the carpark. Maybe a pinpad lock would be considered on this door to allow your guests to come in late but to keep other guests safe. Otherwise, this was a cheap and easy place to stay. Thank you.

The property had everything I look for but ... I don't use plastic kettles & the cleaners use a product that leaves a mild smell in the unit, akin to a cheap perfume. I can't see why we need to fill our living spaces with the odour of artificial (chemical) scents - bottom line, they are toxic. What is wrong with fresh air ? Luckily it was mild and having windows open mitigated the use of such products.
