I booked in to the Marksman after a long day driving from Taupo parked at front of my unit, the mangeress was lovely and friendly and delivered my reciept to my room, which was fantastic as I so needed coffee.. the room was clean except for the carpet rather stained in kitchenet area. in the morning I asked to use...

Great location, helpful hosts, nice room. Only slight downer was the cold tap in our bathroom was almost impossible to turn on, and only came out as a trickle at best... Bed was super comfy, had a great sleep, thought road noise would be an issue, but hardly noticed it. Will stay again if I am ever back in Wellington

Great location as I wanted to hit the town for a meal and drink after a very busy days work. Great Manageress and very nice room. I will be staying here again on business for sure. The City is very close and the noise level from the road was amazingly not bad. Well done Team.

We were overnight in Wellington for a school trip. The room was very pleasant - probably redecorated in the last five years as there was a flat screen and the colours seemed to have been changed from rich cream tones to white / grey tones. The shower was still an old plastic dark cream with the 70s plastic showerhead -... More

Pleasant Motel however hard to access if you're not familiar with Wellington. The room was updated and had all the basics, double bed divided off by a wall which is good if there is three of you in the unit. Walking distance to local eateries. There is apparently enough car spaces for everyone, however if cars are not parked correctly... More

Our one night stay will be our first and last here. We arrived into Wellington late (10pm) as we had driven all day so we could meet our daughter at the airport early morning. We pulled into the Marksman as it looked ok. Unfortunately the office was closed and we rang the bell. The gentleman came out to see us,... More

A very well appointed and furnished motel within easy walk of the local restaurants and then a little further into the city centre. The good sized room could sleep three and had a useful and fully equipped kitchenette, a fridge, and a large screen TV mounted on the wall. We thought the quality of the room and furnishings more than... More

The marksman is located on a busy street which made for a lot of road noise and with no fan system, the windows had to remain open. Also, it is located just a little too far from downtown to walk back after a big dinner, yet for a budget price, you might want to aim low for one night.

This was a return stay for us at the Marksman and once again we were not disappointed. This motel is one of the few available right in the city centre, only ten minutes walk from Courtney Place and Oriental bay. Five minutes drive from the ferry terminal. The rooms are modern and clean with lovely top grade linen. The offstreet... More
