Mataki Motel

Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Small room but adequate for our one night stay. Kitchen has very limited bench space - would be better if microwave was wall mounted in order to free up bench. Parking right outside our room was great and nice outlook to farm next door.

Loved the location. Wonderful views and lots of interesting places to look at in Murchison. There was a Hang Gliding Regatta going on there during our short stay and we met some neat people while staying at the Motel.

We were only there for a very short stop over night but found everything so clean and every thing we needed also very warm and cosy . Thankyou awesome stay

Perfectly situated in town, quiet situation

We had to wash dishes in a small hand basin. There was only a shower curtain. Only two overhead lights. One in the living area and 1 in the bathroom. We had a wardrobe door key to our room which shows its age. This room was definitely not value for money. The heater was on which was a plus but why not turn the fridge on. Very disappointed with this accommodation

Room was small with no wardrobe or hanging space. Basic amenities in bathroom with tiny basin and no shelving. Shower was excellent. Kitchen supplies/utensils were meagre.

We stayed there for one night in a family unit - 2 couples and one toddler. Rooms have been clean and tidy, though family unit (2 bedrooms and couch) felt for our party a bit crowded. Staff at reception (or was it the manager?) was disappointing. The elderly gent clearly didn't like to deal with customer requests. The first time we asked for linen for the spare bed (which we booked and the hotel confirmed in writing) he told us we should have told them. Well, we did at booking time and the hotel confirmed this request. He then complained about the cleaning staff (for forgetting this request) and walked away (to bring us some time later the bedding). An hour later we asked for a plunger (which should be standard equipment in these rooms). His first reaction was: "This is already your second request". Well, we didn't dare to come with any other requests (e.g. the advertised spa was there but did not work). He later brought a plunger and explained they removed them from the rooms because "they get legs". A wedding party in an adjacent room was pretty noisy during the night - bad timing. But - overall - room is clean and mainly ok (unless you expect the advertised spa to work and want a plunger for your coffee), Supplies (sugar, tea), are the absolut minimum the motel can get away with. Reception experience was substandard. We don't like to be made uncomfortable for justified requests. Will try to find next time a motel with friendlier reception.

Not much spare room in the room. No tap in living area, had to fill the kettle in the bathroom.

You get what you pay for, small rooms, no instructions for working TV, internet didn't load either Would not recommend it, better places in murchison to stay than here Couldn't even find the light switches Very ordinary, but quiet Very dated
