Bucket Tree Lodge

Group of 8 of us booked a motel room here with 4 single beds and 2 double beds. All guests travelled from different parts of the North Island. When we arrived, we were unexpectedly advised that the room we had booked and paid for was only suitable for 5 people. When I questioned the reception lady about the fact there were enough beds to accommodate all guests, she told me it was not suitable for all of us and we would be too crammed. She then went on to ask for further payment of $169 from us for the room we had already paid for. She also said that if we were to go somewhere else, we would not be refunded the $700 we had spent. Given that there was no other accommodation available, this was our only option. The interesting part of this whole story is the fact that once we paid the extra bill, the motel room suddenly became suitable for 8 people. The lady even told me I was a good boy for paying up the extra cash! Other than that, clean and tidy rooms, good location, would not recommend.
