The Big Five was not my first choice (the motel I had originally booked was full) but I am very glad for fate to intervene. Run by a wonderful Sth African family, my motorbike and me were given Room 1. It was perfect for one night with a park out front and a super tidy room. A great bed and pillows, awesome water pressure for a good shower and two free packets of ground coffee for the plunger. I couldn't ask for more! Keep up the good work. I certainly recommend it for a budget option.

So so good, make sure to ask for a suite down the back. Worth it for the shower pressure and service alone! 👍👍👍👍👍

We loved our stay at Big Five Motel. We had a very comfortable room that was immaculately cleaned. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Build for comfort.

This motel is great. The room is clean and well-maintained. Jenny the manageress is so friendly and helpful towards us. My son and I had a small dog with us and we felt welcome by the management.

The location is quite strategic and close to many amenities. Just a few hundred metres from many good Cafés, petrol stations, the Plaza, Pak n' Save, and the University.

The room is warm and fully equipped for us to have light cooking. Whenever we are back in Palmerston, we certainly will stay at the Big Five Motel.

The motel was simple, clean and functional. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay which was much appreciated. It was close to where I wanted to be and I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you for providing a sandwich and lovely cherries!

Quiet, clean room, small, but that's fine, not exactly cheap however, with very poor selection of channels and TV reception was atrocious. No kitchen sink, so dishes need to be washed in a plastic bucket, no cooking element. But most importantly, and I know this has been mentioned before, they need to get curtains! The outside light shines through the blinds, you will end up waking in the very early hours thinking its morning. Parking was a bit tight...however...There was a coffee plunger ...and that is a nice touch ...

The motel was pet friendly, which is exactly what we needed. The greeting was friendly, the unit was nice and clean, and the owner had recommended that we change the blankets to lighter colour ones as we were bringing a large white dog. It was a short walk to a local park, which was great for the dog. A good stay, will definitely use again.
