The lakes motel is probably our favorite place that we stayed during our whole trip! Everything is clean, the rooms have been redone... The bed was AMAZING and so was the shower, had we known we would have such a lovely stay, we would have booked a longer stay. The staff is just lovely and welcoming, offering tips and help, we felt great here.. We will definitely return!

This motel gives motels a good name. Very clean, comfortable, with parking adjacent to your motel unit. Warren at the front desk is both friendly and super helpful. He rearranged our following days plans with great ideas, and we were happy with the result. Great place to stay!

Super friendly staff, easy check-in (also offered a bottle of milk for tea), and the room was spacious! Large living area with lots of seating, great bathroom, plenty of space in the kitchen, and separate bedroom. Check-out was easy as well. Great location for accessing Aoraki Mount Cook National Park.

Motel is used for overnights when hiking at Mount Cook NP or cycling. It’s no frills but not inexpensive as nearby accommodation can be limited or block booked by tours. Area around motel rooms gets crowded and noisy with cycling tours loading gear and we were in the road side unit so felt this more. Otherwise it was a standard and typically decked out motel room.
