This was a lovely find - very comfortable ... though we had an upstairs unit and you need to mind your head when getting off the loo due to the slant of the ceiling, but a great shower and comfy bed. We'll be back due to the men of group needing to see more of the transport museum.

Great motel, would definitely stay here again next time. Clean, spacious, comfy and handy to shops and restaurants. Could have easily slept four adults in this room so great a family with two kids. Real value for money for what you get!

Location and service at a good price

Were only there for one night but enjoyed our stay. The motel is just a short walk to Queen's Park which itself is worthy of a visit. The hosts gave recommendations as to eating and where to stop en route to Te Anau. Others could learn from these hosts.

Very disappointed with management responsiveness and ignorance

Reviewed By 9862trip

We booked for two nights stays. However, the motel checked us out from our room without any attempt to contact us on day 2 when my husband and I were out enjoying a private tour of the Catlin cost. The motel staff touched all our belongings, including toiletries, packed a bag, and threw most of the fresh foods that we bought for supper for the night and breakfast for the following day. The motel blamed us for this incident simply because my husband had handed the key to the reception staff before heading out for the tour. Well, we did not ask them to check us out we asked them to keep the room key in the reception until we return from the tour. After a long conversation with the onsite manager, we finally received a room key but not the same room we stayed in on our 1st night. The manager also handed our luggage packed by a motel staff and a plastic bag with some food items that were not being thrown away for some reason. We wrote a complaint email to the management team about this incident upon returning from our holiday. However, the first and the last response that we had received was still the same, blaming us instead of apologizing. We wrote back to ask for formal apologies and compensation for the food items they have decided to throw away. But they have ignored us, and we haven't heard back from them in multiple attempts. I am very upset that the motel management still hasn't apologized, and they rather blamed the quests. This absurd thing happened in this motel. Compensate us for the foods that the birch wood manor motel arbitrarily removed when were traveling. I booked a 1bedroom apartment, but there was no bathtub. 27~29/Nov/2021

Comfortable and clean

Couldn’t fault our stay at all. Room was well priced, extremely clean, had everything we needed. Bed was very comfortable with lots of pillows. Hotel is at a very convenient location. Parking is around the corner but this doesn’t bother me at all as it is secure.
