Alena, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property is undergoing renovations at the moment and the in-house restaurant is not available. We didn’t know this until check-in. The room was road facing/frontage, and traffic noise was ample. No lift/elevator available. Other than that, great stay. Would recommend.
Kirsty, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is our second stay, this time in a unit rather than hotel. Beautifully clean, fabulous pool and friendy helpful staff. Will definately stay again
Esther, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

When booking at The Avenue, request a room that is not by the road. We found it quite noisy.
Margaret, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Mixed review. Bedding was good, heater was not working the first night. No housekeeping on public holidays (Matariki) so our beds were not made and bathroom not cleaned (one of the reason why I love to stay in hotels is because I dont have to do that). Renovated part (bedroom part) is lovely and modern. Bath very slippery (there is a plastic grip mat but still unsafe), old, shallow with and mould on silicone.
Deborah, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

jared, 4-night trip

Really tidy and clean motel. Nice stay.
Melissa, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The pictures do no match the state of the very dated property. It is under construction and not even connected to the Hotel. I had to access through a bottle-store carpark. No security lighting outside, very noisy and unsafe. Lights inside were difficult to find and electrical connections did not look safe. It was very cold with inadequate heating and TV didn’t work.
Nicky, 2-night trip

Katrina, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Location was excellent, clean and tidy, will definitely stay again
Bernard, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Liked the location, plenty of fast food,cafe's and supermarkets. But lack of Air Cond, made room too stuffy at night. No sink meant the jug had to be filled up up in the bathroom. Limited utensils and no dish washing liquid to wash anything. No toaster or hair dryer, so be prepared to pack everything including the kitchen sink.
