Fergussons Motor Lodge

This is one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed in. We got the last room which turned out to be suited for guests with limited mobility, with grab bars in bathroom, open shower, wide access. It was comfortable and quiet. I love these little New Zealand motels with convenient small kitchens, and parking right at the doorstep.

The previous 'Disappointed' review stated the owner was rude and unwelcoming, probably due to them not being European. Well this isn't the case because I'm European and was treated in the same way. No pleasantries when I arrived, certainly not escorted to the room like it is advertised. The one bedroom room had a television not much bigger than my laptop and two uncomfortable chairs to sit in. The generous advertised bedroom took one step from the end of the bed to the wall. Hardly generous. The best motels I stay in frequently for work, go the extra mile - firstly being friendly and welcoming, cold water in the fridge and tissues in the room. perhaps the male owner might consider these. Also, never stayed in a motel that has charged for a car park so advertising free car parks is pompous. Would not recommend this motel and will not stay here again.

Great place. Very clean and tidy. Comfy bed and quiet. We arrived just after a massive storm which has rendered the towns water undrinkable temporarily. The staff were amazing and provided bottled water to assist us in making our stay more comfortable. It’s within walking distance to centre of town including great pub/restaurants 2mins walk. Highly recommended place.

We've stayed at Fergussons several times now and can't recommend it highly enough! We first fell in love with it for the incredible night's sleep we had in the most super comfy beds, but quickly discovered that everything about the place is just incredibly comfortable - good sized rooms and kitchen, spotlessly clean, well-equipped kitchen, parking right at the door, close to the town and yet peacefully set round its own courtyard area. On top of that, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. We came back - again and again.
