"Owners are lovely. Great value for money. There are stairs you need to walk up. Despite the mixed reviews. We enjoyed our 3 night stay in a private room. It's basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for. Would definitely stay again."

Everything about this hotel was perfect - the grounds, the buildings, the furnishing, the food, the staff. The setting is near an apple orchard and landscaping beautiful. The building is over 100 years old and totally refurbished to beauty and comfort. I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy the surroundings.

Nowadays the rooms in motels are SO tiny, you almost feel claustrophobic, but Cumberland's rooms are large and comfortable, well supplied, clean, and windows with cross-ventilation. Even the bathrooms are large. We were very impressed, enjoyed our 9-day stay there immensely, and would definitely book there again. Cumberland Motel is just about in the center of Hastings, New Zealand, so we also had easy access to wherever we wanted to go. The owners were very hospitable, too, and we honestly...

We stayed for a weekend getaway and everything at this hotel was just perfect. I called ahead to request an early check in and the front desk person was very personable and helpful and left a great impression. The hotel is decorated beautifully and the rooms are spacious with great amenities. Lovely robes and slippers, coconut bath products, towel warmer, wet bar sink and coffee setup - the attention to detail makes this a more luxury stay. There is a great restaurant on site with room service...
