Ranfurly Motels

Avoid this place - they billed us even though the booking was cancelled seven weeks prior to occupation. They were notified by email, which has been retained in my Sent folder. Clearly they either do not understand plain English, or need to improve their office procedures.

This motel is very clean and has most things you need to self cater. The grounds are large with a good play area for kids and there is carports next to each unit. The two downsides for us were the lack of space to put things in the bathroom (while having a shower) and the fact there was no ventilation in the kitchen so we set off the smoke alarm while using the electric frying pan. It was perfectly fine for a brief one night stop over but we wouldn’t have wanted to stay longer.

Home away from home, clean, quiet, very comfortable, great beds, fab location - short walk to shops and cafes. Ranfurly is a small country town in Central Otago. If you need time out, space, peace and quiet - this is the place for you. Huge park like lawn. Hosts, Greg and Melissa were welcoming and hospitable - we will be back.
