Otaki Motel is a family-run motel on the Main Highway in Ōtaki, an hour's drive from Wellington and the Interisland Ferry Terminal. Guests praise the clean, comfortable rooms and attentive hosts; the Sky Guest Select package of sports and movie channels is available, and a complimentary container of milk or a morning newspaper can be added to your booking.
The classic Kiwi motel is built for the road trip: parking at the door, self-contained units that suit families and groups, and resident hosts who can point you towards a good café. Walkability is worth checking when booking, as a motel minutes from town means dinner and shopping without moving the car, and anyone catching an early ferry should confirm morning checkout before setting out.
For a stop on State Highway 1, a wedding weekend or a run through the outlet stores, Otaki Motel sits in the middle of one of the Kapiti Coast's busiest little towns.
