Totara Lodge Motel

Nice little spot that is off the main road so it's quiet. Plenty of free parking available and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are small and a bit tight for two but we made out ok. They were clean and that's most important. We were just there for a quick overnight while traveling. Always appreciate a kettle and tea and coffee for the morning wake up. We'd stay again.

The location was 2 mins walk from the centre. Easy access to restaurants. Parking was at the back and secure. Getting my key from the host was really straightforward and easy. It was clean and everything you would expect including a microwave and even a coffee plunger.

Our hosts were WONDERFUL! I can not thank them enough for the hospitality and care put into our visit. I put on a message accidentally that our sailing arrived in wellington at 2, when it got to 6, and they hadn't seen us, we received a call to make sure everything was going ok. I really appreciated it! The bed was super comfortable, and the shower pressure was incredible..... Definitely dont judge a book by its cover there! The room was well fernished without being over the top.

Close to restaurants & grocery stores, has an electric blanket, heater, & fan, and water pressure in shower is good.

Did not like the stairs. I'm sick & tired wondering if there stairs or not as nothing is put on facilities to indicate if there is stairs or not. Some businesses advise this but not many. So I message to find out stairs or not. Not good enough Booking.com. For older people or people who can't climb it an essential item to add. Property was clean & comfortable.
