Thank you very much for the wonderful hospitality we had with you over the past weekend. We will definitely be recommending your motel to fellow Aucklanders to use.
Norissa (Auckland)

Hi - just wanted to say how impressed we were with your Motel - we have stayed at a few motels over the years and have never met such friendly hosts who genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. The unit was perfect for us and the little extras like the chocolate fish, extra towels, hot chocolate (usually just get tea/coffee) make a huge difference! The kids loved the heated pool and playground and it made our stay more fun for everyone. We will be back one day and in the meantime will recommend your motel to anyone we know going to New Plymouth.
Catlin (Auckland)

The service was outstanding, the attention to detail was noticed and certainly sets you apart from other Motels. Everything was excellent and simply keep doing what you do! Well done and a big thank you for making our first trip to New Plymouth such an enjoyable one. We look foward to coming back and in the meantime we will highly reommend you to all our friends and family. - Thank you.

Wonderfully clean ! Felt very safe and secure, loved the little treats and the lovely thought of closing curtains to keep unit warm. Don't change ! the little treats etc make all the difference. Home away from home !!
Chris ( Waitara )

Hi guys, thanks for another wonderful stay. The girls had a brilliant time, so much so that we will book the same rooms for next year. That's the 4 rooms for the 12 girls and four adults and the single room for the umpire. Thanks again Max and Julie for your hospitality.

Beautiful location for driving around. Facilities in the unit are excellent & the pools a real bonus. A very well run establishment with very friendly and helpful staff. It was really nice to have the 'welcome' chocolate, great to have a paper. Excellent place to stay and we hope to be back.

Just wanted to say thank you for a lovely stay at the Flamingo Motel. There was a large group of us staying for a wedding over the Waitangi weekend and we were all very impressed with the cleanliness of the units, the friendly approach of all the staff and the lovely surroundings. We will recommend to everyone.

This was the best Motel that we have found in N.Z. New Plymouth is great too. Keep doing what you are doing.
Doug Elliott (Canada)

Kids loved it!! Pool, playground and hot-pool, excellent. Enjoyed everything!! Great unit, comfy beds, lovely staff. No noise from other units above or beside, excellent.
Greer (Kaitaia)

Most enjoyable part of stay: "the convenience, the friendliness of staff and other guests, the facilities and the high standard of cleanliness. It was our first stop. We came for 1 or 2 nights and stayed 3 - speaks for itself !!"
Noreen (Ireland)

Fabulous - everything we could wish for. Unit very comfy, everything you need in it. Kids love the pools & playground and location is so central !! Absolutely faultless, we stay in Motels quite often and Flamingo stands out.
Tawny (Wairarapa)

What we enjoyed most: "facilities, location, restfulness, good sleep. Always good to return to New Plymouth and relive childhood delights." Improvements needed: " If we thought improvements were necessary we'd be hard to please"

We were thrilled to relocate you after our first visit 6 years ago. At that time we were visiting New Zealand from California, now we live in New Zealand. We loved your motel on the first visit and enjoyed it even more this time. You provide a great welcome, the rooms and facilities are clean and very accommodating and the kids love the play area and pool. We'll definitely be back again and thank you for sending our key that we lost back to us.
Thanks, Chuck and Adrienne
