Bed is very uncomfortable.
BenjaminAustraliaIt is dated but spacious and clean. Decent option if you are there for the Forgotten World Highway and need a place to stay
It is dated and very close to the highway. When large trucks pass you can feel the room shake
Samantha OaarikiNew ZealandFantastic all round
The owner was so accommodating, she was able to organise a room swap to have us on the ground floor as my dad uses a walker. Views were amazing. Owner had already heated the room for us before we arrived. Owner was ready…

- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.

Questions about Mahoe Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Mahoe Motel?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Mahoe Motel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Mahoe Motel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Mahoe Motel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Mahoe Motel?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Mahoe Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Mahoe Motel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
