Riverlea Motel

Gore

Riverlea Motel provides accommodation in Gore. The motel also features free WiFi and free private parking.

At the motel, the rooms include a wardrobe, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. Such a nice, modern and clean room. Really, one of the best rooms I have stayed in during my NZ travels. The room is well designed. When you enter there's a row of tiles in case you have dirty or wet shoes. Then there's very soft and comfy carpet. Bed was nice and the shower has a roof on it. Great way to prevent mold in the bathroom and keeping the heat and water inside the shower cabin.
