About this property
Otaki Motel offers free WiFi and a garden area with a children's playground. Free on-site parking is available, with easy access for trucks and large vehicles. Otaki Motel is an 8-minute drive from Otaki Golf Club and a 30-minute drive from Otaki Forks, the entrance to Tararua Forest National Park. Since the development of the Transmission Gully Expressway the Interisland Ferry Terminal is now only 53 minutes' drive away. The air-conditioned rooms include a patio and a TV with 50 Sky cable channels. In some of the units, some of the older style mini-ovens have been replaced with an induction stovetop and a separate mini-oven, but each unit still has a microwave and toaster. If you would like to request a unit with a mini-oven, please let us know when placing your booking. The private bathrooms have all now been renovated and each includes a shower and free toiletries. Otaki Motel also offers laundry facilities. Towels and linen are provided. Each of the units has now been renovated so that they have sound-proofing, insulation and double-glazing, and noise from the Expressway has been mitigated by bunding. Some noises can still be heard from occasional passing trains, but otherwise the units are much more peaceful and quiet.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.2 for a two-person trip.
