Email from Clare Malthus 20 Sep 09.
Manager
Otago Netball Team 2009
"Our team stayed at Arena Lodge in September 2009. Brent and Stephanie were superb hosts and their lodge is immaculately presented. The care they take with their premises and guests is very evident in everything they do and they both do it with a great big smile. And to think that they even interrupted their cheering of the All Blacks in Wellington, Iive from their seats in the stand, just for us....we thought that was pretty impressive!"
Email from John Van Der Leden 25th August 2009
The Arena Lodge is the best Motel I've ever stayed in.
The rooms are modern, clean and have everything I might need.
The hosts are the frendliest, most helpful people I've ever struck.
I've already recommended it to others who are planning to visit the area.
Email from Kelly Knox 1st August 2009
Hi Stephanie and Brent, thank you for your lovely email!
The facilities are second to none and we wouldn't hesitate in staying again; ideally we would like to come up again in the next 3-4 weeks so look forward to seeing you both again soon!
Email from Scott Thelning 27 July 2009
Wow – what a great place to stay! Brent and Stephanie have created a fantastic environment mixed with friendly and attentive service. The rooms are modern, (very well cared for – they look brand new and I believe they are four years old!), clean and welcoming, the grounds look fantastic and the breakfasts were great! I appreciated the call to let us know they were on their way in 5 mins! The friendly, prompt, sincere and ‘going the extra mile’ service was amazing. These guys have got a good thing going and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone. Awesome!
Extract from a letter 'Carlton School' Wanganui 22 July 2009
I attended the "Generating Futures Conference" in June.
I walked into your Motel requesting a telephone number for a taxi and you were kind enough to offer me a lift. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to both of you. I truly appreciated your generosity.
When I am next in Palmerston North I'll be sure to stay at the Arena Lodge.
Best wishes
Paul Petersen - Principal

Dear Brent and Stephanie,
Arena Lodge has been an excellent place for us to spend three months in Palmerston. We would recommend you and your motel to anyone that needs short term corporate accommodation in Palmerston North. Our three bedroom townhouse like unit has easily accommodated the four of us. We particularly enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Being able to walk to the city square and having the supermarket around the corner made life easy. The quick broadband kept us connected to family, friends and the wider world. It was a delight to have our room serviced; we would like to thank your cleaning crew for doing such a good job.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for your kind comments about our Lodge. As Brent mentioned, we’d love to have your comments below on our testimonial page of our website. “It’s a surprise to know that your motel is 4 years old as the units look so fresh and new.”
Warm Regards,
