Asure Ashley Motor Lodge

Canadian wandererThis motel is very clean with large rooms. The owner was very friendly upon check in and when we had a question about the heat he responded immediately. The only drawback is that there are no dine in restaurants within walking distance. There is a small take out Chinese restaurant close which seemed a bit odd the way it was run, but the food we had was really good.

As a place to rest for a short break on the road, it is relatively simple. It is very close to Caroline Beach. It is not very convenient to walk to the town center. It is not very far to see the blue penguin.

韦A big bed and two small beds, very suitable for a family holiday. Not far from the supermarket, you can make your own breakfast. The hotel is not far from the sea and the parking is convenient. The boss is very enthusiastic, free to print the rental car and Jetstar's itinerary.

Very friendly receptionist, nothing fancy in the room but had everything that we need. Super comfy bed. The motel is situated in front of the main road, so is very noisy, that didn't bother us. We will be happy to stay again.

The hotel passing by by car in New Zealand is very good, parking is very convenient, the service is also very good, clean and hygienic is particularly satisfactory, the price is more suitable, the surrounding supermarkets can buy vegetables by themselves, and it is a very good trip to come back to cook.
