Pokies near Me

Reasonable price and great location. However the room wasn't very clean, with dirty glasses, and generally in need of a refurb. Check in was at the bar where we had to wait for a while to be seen to. Probably wouldn't stay here again, even considering the low price.

After travelling all day, went here for a quiet drink or two. Unfortunately, at mid afternoon, the music was turned up so loud we couldn't hear each other talk. We would have stayed for a couple more drinks but the loud music put us off so we left. The sound level would have been ideal for 9pm. Not 3:30pm

Budget room for one night, small room but clean, warm and cheap, I'd happily stay there again

Stunning value - very impressed to get an en suite room in tidy condition for under $70. Friendly staff and smack bang in the middle of town. Ideal for solo travelling for work.

Stopped here to break the trip. We had a few beers, played pool. Steve was kind enough to organize some late night food. Great friendly customer service. Quiet night at the hotel. Rooms are very simple and basic not good on hard beds but the sandlewood soap was great.

I booked a room for 3 people, but few minutes later they call me saying it was overbooked.
This happened 2 days ago.
Still waiting for the refund.
What a shame, this lack of organisation caused a headache in our trip through south island.
You should better pay attention and be more careful with your guests.

Good location and nice evening roast meal.

Will not be staying there again.
Pre-booked through expedia, but the online booking was completely ignored by the staff. Staff acted as if we never booked even after showing them email proof of the booking. This meant after we arrived (within checkin hours) staff had not check their online bookings for well over 24 hours or they would have seen the booking and prepared the booked room ..OR.. they were acting as if they hadn't seen the booking so they could up the price from $88 booked to $110 over the bar. "Bait and switch" and over a barrel with no where else to stay.
Concerning questions for our expedia booking, would they take money from our bank too and who would be paying their fees? Did the staff cancel our booking through expedia and also keep the booking fee money? Or did expedia not do the booking? No reply from expedia at this stage.

Staff missed out on meals and drinks profits because of the poor booking service and a $22 impromptu price increase. Food other people were eating looked reasonable.
The room was not prepared - no soap, face cloths/flannels and items were still in the refrigerator from the last tenants (items in the freezer that were melted in their packets). Remote had the batteries sellotaped in and the TV acted like it had "bad net" with glitchy freezes intermittently all evening. I had to deal to a full grown silverfish bug in the corner by the bed. It would be nice not to see assorted stains (hopefully food) on both sides of the bed cover.
Shower was good.
Bed was comfortable.

Overall, the experience went from bad to worse (from expedia to the pub) as time went by, which is a shame as previously we have enjoyed many good stays here, but now there is different management.
New Managers need to work on their customer service, room preparation, computer skills (?) and consider bug spraying in the off season / close off sections.

I just needed a bed for the night,and this place was reasonably priced. There was a bit of a funky smell (like moldy carpet),in the upstairs corridor,and the fridge in my room wasn't working. Although some might suggest the place looks haunted, I had no night visitors.

Friendly staff, tidy room, reasonable price, good yarns from the regulars, cheap beer, free pool... what's not to love? Oh and we won a few hundred bucks at the pokies too.

All in all, the classic small kiwi town experience. We will be back!

Friendly, good food and beers

We loved the bed and the lady on reception was super friendly! It's a really great place to stay. Thank you so much!

Comfy and well looked after.

Always enjoy our stay 3x now

Good old fashioned Kiwi pub.
