Woodlands Motel

Arrived after hours but access was easy. We had a Tourist Room and new to expect only beds and a Jug, tea and coffee. Room smelt really musty and dirty but beds were clean. The jug kept blowing the multi box so had to be plugged directly into wall socket. At 9.30pm as we were going to bed a car alarm went off outside our door but no one came out to turn it off. This happened 6 times so I called after hours and a lady came to see what was going on. It turned out to be the owners vehicle who eventually arrived and moved it 4 car spaces away. It went off once again in the night. I then turned the bedside lamp on and the plug exploded causing blackness on my hand and burnt the hairs on my fingers. It blew the fuse. It gave us a fright so I texted the manager and asked for the night manager to come and see us. She just unplugged the lamp and left it there. The manager texted back and said maybe I would have been better staying in the motel room and not the budget room!!!! ***. It should still have been a safe room. We finally got to sleep and then we were woken up by the TV coming on by itself at 2am in the morning. The next morning we went to see the manager who didn't even apologise or ask if we were ok. I said I didn't think we should pay the full price due to what happened. She argued the point but eventually she told us to not bother paying and to just leave. I think this was a couple of people arrived and walked in the door and she didn't want them to here our complaint. I would never recommend tis place to anyone

Excellent location for walking to town and supermarket. Short drives to Stone Store and good restaurants. Also very handy for the airport. Our studio near the bush at the back was comfortable and quiet. Beautiful setting with a walking track to a river through old redwoods and natives. Super friendly and obliging staff and owner.

A very cute quiet unit, surrounded by beautiful trees. We were only there for one night, but it was a very clean and comfortable stay. Nice comfortable bed. It was within a easy walk to the town and a supermarket.

We didn't have any set accommodation and booked at the last minute for accommodation that evening. The staff at Woodlands were so accommodating and very nice. We received a personal txt from Woodlands after booking on-line late in the afternoon with a full description of how to access the room after hours. They also went the extra mile to turn on the heater for us as it was cold and wet in northland. The facilities were perfect and we were very grateful they took the time considering it was a last minute booking. Thank you!
