New management
Have stayed here a few times now and the new management is great. Always clean, beds are comfortable. Would just love to see lids on the bins in the bathroom so that womens products are hidden.

Easy to find
After hopping off the ferry, not knowing Wellington area, Trentham motel was easy to find and no far. Loved how our room was all set up for us since we arived late after check in hours. The light was left on for us making it easy to find our room. Will definitely be back!

It was out first time in the area and we were very happy with the motel. We were especially impressed with the information provided in the room about the history of the area and with the park grounds across the road. A great legacy for the town.

Convenient stop off on the way to Wellington, so we could visit some regional parks (good old Kiwi Guardian hunts). Although the outside of the units look run down, and the industrial sized rubbish bins were a bit of a put off (and the trailer full of old furniture), it was a very pleasant place to stay. Inside our room was spacious, clean (apart from under the bed, but a lot places are slack at cleaning there) and suited our needs. The owners/managers were helpful and friendly. We would probably stay here again if we were in the area.
