The local pub was only a couple of minutes away by bike and had a great dinner selection. At the Waipiata Motel, Jen greeted us as we arrived on our three-day Otago Rail Trail ride with Trail Journeys, which I’d highly recommend. I’d booked the family room for a late January night with my teenage daughter and son, but Jen kindly gave me my own room next door. The rooms are tastefully furnished, with NZ woolen blankets and sheepskins on carpeted floors. The bedding was very comfortable, and the showers were excellent. We all enjoyed the home-baked afternoon tea, and Jen’s engaging way with my kids was much appreciated. Breakfast included homemade bread, NZ butter, muesli, cereal, tea, and plunger coffee. Jen is an excellent host, and this is a comfortable place to stay when visiting Waipiata or passing through by bike or car.

We were greeted warmly by Jenny, who showed us around this peaceful, beautiful place. The only sounds were birds and a gentle breeze in the trees, and we even met the ducks and sheep. It’s a lovely boutique motel just off the Otago Central Rail Trail, and I thoroughly recommend staying here.

At the end of a day cycling, Jen gave us a warm welcome and amazing pastries for afternoon tea. We had a delightful stay, with a lovely comfortable bed and lots of little touches that made it enjoyable. I can definitely recommend it.

Jenn greeted us herself and made us feel right at home in the lovely rustic cabin. There was even a welcome sign with our names on it. It’s a perfect place to stop for a night or two on a NZ road trip, and I’d highly recommend it. The fridge came stocked with breakfast, and there was proper coffee too. Such a lovely little place, 10/10!

Jen and her wonderful team of ducks were such welcoming hosts. We stayed in the family room, which worked perfectly for four people. It was clean, warm, and had everything we needed for a weekend away. A delightful spot to unwind, and we can’t wait to come back.
