Shortland Court Motel - Thames

Good location, friendly manager, lovely room, comfortable, nice view, spa bath.

There was nothing I didn't like.

I really enjoyed the cozy and homely feel of the motel. The decor was charming and reminded me of a traditional kiwi home. The common areas were easily accessible and well-lit, making it convenient for us senior folks to navigate around.

It would have been even better if there were more activities or amenities specifically designed for seniors. Maybe some gentle exercise classes or a relaxation area where we could unwind and socialize.

Service great. Very Clean. Comfortable. Spacious bathroom. Handy for town centre.

View only of business site over the road.

Good location clean & comfortable reasonable rates & owner very helpfull & friendly

I absolutely loved the cozy and charming decorations throughout the motel. The floral patterns and vintage furniture reminded me of my own home, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The common areas were also well-maintained and easily accessible for senior people like myself. It was a joy to relax in the comfortable seating areas and chat with other guests.

I wish the children working there had offered more organized activities or excursions for senior guests. It would have been wonderful to have some planned outings or social gatherings catered specifically to us.

Road noise noticed by one traveller, but not others

The room was very nice and everything was well presented. The staff were very friendly and I would stay again

The smokers that congregated outside their front doors, talking loudly late at night and early in the morning and I walked out to be greeted by a wall of smoke. I couldn't leave my front door open. Also neighbours started spa bath at 10 p.m. sounded like a tractor!

The apartment was very spacious and had a well-equipped kitchenette. The location was also great, just a short walk away from the town center and its attractions. the laundry facilities were very convenient, and the windows were double glazed, which helped to keep out the noise.

There was a lot of traffic noise, which was a bit of a downside due to the location on a busy road. there was no air conditioner, but the portable fan provided was adequate.

The hotel was clean, had good facilities, and was in a convenient location close to the coast, bus stop, and township. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Everything great.

I had a last-minute stay at this place and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff made me feel welcome and safe, which was important to me during this time. The room was comfortable, and the spa bath was just what I needed to unwind. The location was also convenient, right on the outskirts of town and next to a dairy.

I would definitely recommend this venue to family and friends.

Stayed at a motel during Xmas with family. Location was great, close to the main road and easy access to transportation. Rooms were spacious and had a well-equipped kitchenette, perfect for cooking Xmas dinner. the bathroom was recently updated and nice.

Some aspects of the room were subpar, which dampened the holiday spirit. the shower was difficult to adjust to the right temperature, and some parts of the fridge fell out when we opened it.

The motel is situated on a convenient intersection, close to the town centre and in a unique location being the only place for miles. the motel is easily accessible from the highway. Despite the traffic noise, the amenable and helpful staff make this a pleasant stay.

The furniture is old and uncomfortable making it difficult to relax, adding to the traffic noise already experienced from the motel's location.
