Great experience at the Chelsea Park Motor Lodge. Dean and Tomoko are great hosts, so friendly. We had a pretty little garden courtyard to sit in complete with three Fantails (Piwakawaka) flying around us. Will definitely stay here again!

6/10 Good

No Air Conditioning
The rooms are good but there is no air conditioning as stated. Apparently there is only one room with air conditioning...and I didn't get that one. The room did get quite hot in the afternoon/evening. Despite having double glazing, the room was still quite noisy from road noise.
