Jade Court Motel — Hotel in South Island

Good: decent size room, spacious and clean well equipped kitchenette and toilet

Can be improved: very bad wifi. Kept getting disconnected every few minutes. So disappointing. water stopped halfway while washing dishes. The entire apartment had no water totally, including shower and toilet. Imagine how bad it will be if we were showering halfway. Water stopped for 20mins and resumed. Second room has no heating beside the bed. Gets pretty cold unless you are on the heated bed.

Probably wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Edited after response from owner: Thanks to owner for explaining the 9pm water repairs by town council. It would have been great if we were informed during check in so we can avoid using the water during that 30mins.

I would also like to clarify the broken glassware. We did not drop it. We were heating hot water and it shattered. And why we did not inform your reception about feeling cold and wifi services was because we were told to clean up the broken pieces ourselves and I accidentally cut my hand. By the time we were done, settled down and tried the wifi, it was...

Having driven up the west coast for a few hours, when I walked into the reception area of the Jade Court Motor Lodge, I was a little disappointed by the lukewarm welcome I was given - especially when compared to other places I’d stayed at in NZ. Once I had my key and an idea where to go, I asked for two recommendations: somewhere to get a good salad meal for dinner and where to go for a nice walk beforehand. Her answers of: “Subway” and “go to the beach” really didn’t inspire me !!! The room was actually very good - clean and well appointed. And the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom tidy and functional. However, halfway through my evening shower, I noticed a large pool of water had gathered outside. Having checked the door was correctly shut (it was) I noticed an extra piece of rubber seal had been glued to the door, so the owners were obviously well aware of this problem. It needs to be addressed before someone (less vigilant than me) slips over and...
