Pukekura Motor Lodge
We stayed here for a weekend. Check in was easy and welcoming. Our room was ready, and spotlessly clean. Our bed was comfortable, and although our room was close to the main road, we were not disturbed by traffic noise.

Plymouth International
Very nice hotel, and upgraded my room to a Presidential room, which is superb. The restaurant is great too, those Blame dishes are cooked in front of you, which is a great experience. Their staff are friendly, too.

This is a very nice hotel. They upgraded us to a much bigger room - nice surprise. The pool was warm and the pool spa super warm in a good way. Sometimes parking was full, but we were able to park on the street. The Orangery is a lovely restaurant in a nearby hotel. Serving dinner till 10PM.
