Boasting free WiFi, an outdoor swimming pool and free on-site parking, Thornton Lodge Motel is ideally located for trout fishing in the nearby rivers. All accommodation features a flat-screen TV with satellite channel, a refrigerator and tea/coffee making facilities.

We booked last minute due to an air BnB mishap. The hosts were very hospitality, friendly and helped us find a room. The rooms were crisp and very clean , surplus coffee and tea ( even offered milk for the room ) The beds were very comfortable and the Tv was modern and set up well ( a little bonus for me ) plenty of utensils and towels for our family. I was blown away . We will be staying again .

The host Richard was wonderful. We were due to arrive late at night. He phoned us to confirm where our room was and to see if we would like the heater turned on. The room was tidy, clean, quiet and comfortable. The price was reasonable and on meeting Richard before checking out, he was friendly and welcoming.

    This property was very easy to book, the property managers were lovely and easy to deal with. the room was clean it had the all the main things needed for a comfortable stay. the location was great, quiet considering it is on a main road. next door we had a Service station that is open till late. overall i would recommend this motel if your looking for somewhere cheap and clean with all the basics for a couple nights. I would stay again.

    Absolutely thrilled with our stay at Thornton Lodge Motel and will definitely be booking in again when we travel through the area. We stayed there with our two border collies and the hosts couldn't be more lovely; loved how pet friendly it was. Bed was comfortable, the unit was fitted with a heat pump which kept us warm and toasty and we had everything we really needed for the weekend.

    The trip was an exploration through to the Urewera country so a perfect first stop from Wellington. The motel owners were terrific in their welcome and continuing contact. We really enjoyed it.
