「I had a single night here in a small unit. It was very clean, and well set up with a table and chairs, small fridge, microwave, cutlery etc. The internet worked well, and the bed was comfortable. I stayed on one of the coldest nights in years (it snowed!) but was kept nice and warm. They use a self check in system, but I still have not found the email with the entry code - luckily, the owners arrived just as I was trying to check in (they can also be contacted by phone). I was able to park by the unit but turning around might be awkward when the place is busy.
The motel is in the line of motels on Papanui Road, and a short drive to Merivale Mall for great coffeee at the Savoire Café.」
I had a very good stay at Mackenzie Motels. The room was very clean, cozy, and comfortable — perfect for a quiet night’s rest. Fairlie is a peaceful little town, and the location was really convenient with a supermarket and laundry shop nearby. Highly recommend for anyone passing through or staying in the area!
An absolutely fabulous place. Really playing on yhe history of the building all while still giving privacy, security and fun.
Location is super close to a variety of restaurants, cafes and take-away stores, and a general store for those forgotten small items.
Parking is free but it's a first come, first serve scenario.
I loved staying there and highly recommend to any traveler looking for a funky and reasonably priced accommodation.
