롤스턴 모텔

The room was very big with a table in the kitchenette and a desk. The shower is great. Bathrobes are supplied and parking in front of the room and clean. Air-conditioning was on when I arrived. I prefer to open the windows but the roller blinds rattle against the window. Reception was very short, no information about the pool closure in this hotel. The sign said that we could use the pool of the sister hotel Avalon and I found the way myself between the buildings. The pool there was nice.

The rooms at the Rolleston were large and included a good size kitchenette and very large bathroom. They were immaculately clean. There is a great outdoor area with a pool, bbq and outdoor seating. The managers were very friendly and helpful - they even offered us free fejoas.

It is okay, it has some good points and some deficiencies. First, there is no air conditioning and in mid summer when it is 26+ degrees outside, a fan doesn't cut it. It is way too hot. The motel does have a swimming pool (which not many do), and the rooms are quite spacious (separate bathroom and kitchen area), and we had an outside area that was semi-private, which got plenty of sun. The rooms were very clean, but everything was in need of attention - the cupboard doors, the windows didn't shut without a lot of pushing. No Sky Tv but there is Netflix or Apple TV if you log in. It isn't bad, but it was expensive and on our holiday in other popular holiday areas we paid less for what I regard as better value rooms. We also got disturbed by a rat in the walls or running across the roof at 6 am one morning (there are rubbish bins nearby in the motel next door). Overall, not bad but not good value for the room rate (and note the motel has a no-refund cancellation policy) - I wouldn't stay there again.

Hands down one of the best motels I've ever stayed in. Great modern clean room. A great walk in shower. Friendly service and quiet location. Large tv and robes and slippers provided. I highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
