Totara Lodge Motel

Whilst the fittings and furniture are a little tired, the place is very comfortable and spotlessly clean. TV was great, bed was comfortable, and the motel is situated away from main drag, so it was very quiet. Was welcomed and shown to my room quickly, and departure was also effortless. Thank you!

Room was very generous in size, was lovely and clean. Bed was super comfortable and was lovely and warm all night, head pump was the quietest I’ve ever used. Kitchen had everything you would need. Great value for money and awesome location. We would definitely stay again :-)

Three of us stayed here for 2 nights. The managers gave us a warm & friendly welcome, even holding an umbrella & assisting my 80 year old mother into our unit, due to our arrival in the dark & rain. Our unit was older style, but everything was very clean & the gas heater, while somewhat ancient, soon had the room warm & cosy. Beds were comfortable, shower was great & we were amazed at the quietness. This motel has been used as emergency housing in the past, however the managers are now in the process of refurbishing. It is nothing fancy, but we would happily stay here again. Our only negative comment is the strong smell of cigarette smoke near reception, however our unit did not smell of smoke. The managers are very personable and bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed, which was much appreciated. If you want basic, affordable, clean, quiet accommodation with friendly service, Totara Lodge is the place!
