Eric’s one night stay in Cambridge
This is a charming little motel close to one of the most charming towns. The owner made sure we could check in early after our sleepless night flight into Auckland. We had a nice swim in the pool and the location is so quiet and in close proximity to the main part of the town.

Very convenient for access to the Town. The room was spacious and the king size bed was very comfortable. The hosts were friendly and there was fresh milk in refillable bottles. A quiet location helped.

Clean and tidy, older style motel, close to town, park and shopping close. Swimming pool had no privacy as it was right in front of all units.
