A fantastic motel. Beds were great and it was nice and quiet. Good bathroom and kitchen facilities. It meant we could have good meals in our room when not out dining. Our hosts were very accommodating with a last minute change to our booking. I highly recommend the motel and will be back next time we're in Ashburton.
