I pulled in here about 10pm the night before a Lions rugby test at the end of June en route to Wellington. I enquired about internet and paid in advance-internet was very important to me to keep in touch with home and answer business emails.. They told me it was fine. The internet did not work so I went to the front office within15 minutes of check in and asked them to try it. They brought my iPad outside near their modem but ther was still no reception.  They told me it was down having previously told me it was fine.. As it was essential to me I told them I would have to check out again. The German gentleman owner lost it. He ranted I had only come in to annoy them and to use their toilet.....this despite I having paid in advance! I told him I came in to stay the night and had specifically asked about internet before checking in. He told me get out of his property. I told him when he refunded my money I would be happy to do so. He told me if I did not get out he would call the police. I advised him to do this and I would happily wait for them to arrive. He was cursing and using profanities all the time. His wife was trying to calm him down and she refunded the payment. I then went to leave and this guy came out after me shouting profanities and I had only come in to annoy him! I left and I called the police. When I told them what happened they seemed to know the guy. As I was only going to be there for one night I did not call to the police station to make a formal written complaint. They apologised for a visitor having such an experience in New Zealand. For the 15 minutes I was there all I can say is that the property was very run down, dated and laid out in very small cottages. Parking is fairly tight and the whole place needs a makeover. The German owner needs to retire from any dealing with the public.Avoid unless you do not need to use internet!!

Abusive manager/owner

Firstly, people travel through Levin... not to Levin.

This tidy little retro motel was our base for a night while we visited friends in Levin. It's a classic 60's - 70's block motel complex. Immaculately clean. Our unit looked out on a rural vista. It's by the highway but noise wasn't a problem. Probably priced a little on the high side for what it was. Great bed. It's an ok place to stay if you choose to stay in Levin.

Retro Kiwiana gem

Very clean and tidy. Would have to agree with a previous reviewer that there is too much furniture in the room.  Decor is very retro. I think the owners are just waiting for it to become fashionable again.  Blue and green colour scheme with brown carpet and brown bedcovers! The Horowhenua  Hilton it isn't!
However, it was a warm comfortable room with adequate heating. The bed is comfortable.  We don't bother with TV so the fact there was no Sky wasn't a concern.  Adequate kitchen facilities. Not a fan of the UHT milk though! Road noise is noticeable but to be expected on the main arterial route through the North Island. The train track is across the road but as there are only a few trains a day it didn't bother us. Didn't hear any during the night.  Pleasant outlook onto neighbouring farmland. Didn't notice a mountain view however!
