Autoline Motel

I booked after reading the reviews, and the stay went beyond what I expected. We came twice during our South Island trip, once for a stopover and once for two nights, and both visits were fantastic. The reception staff were friendly and patient with all our questions. Our room was comfortable and the bathroom clean. I’d recommend a room with a spa bath, which also has a balcony. There’s a grocery store nearby and restaurants just a short walk away.

Close to the city centre, with clean rooms and a lovely balcony view. I also want to thank whoever did the housekeeping for putting my plushie on the bed. It felt like they really cared about their work and the guests.

The room itself was good, but parking is tight, maybe 12 spaces at most. We got back around 8 pm and there was nowhere left, so we parked on the grass out front, where only one car could fit. The cars behind us had to leave and look for parking elsewhere.

Deborah, the onsite manageress, was delightful and worked incredibly hard to make our stay as good as possible. She went above and beyond. I’d definitely stay again.
