So close to the stunning beach, and the staff were very friendly and helpful in recommending places to eat and visit.
Euan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A lovely stay. Very friendly and helpful advice when asking for dining suggestions. Rooms very clean and tidy.
Rachel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

A true retro motel from the 1960s. Clean sheets, a comfortable bed, and a peaceful setting away from the main drag. Close to the harbour walkway, great for a run. Like many NZ motels, it would benefit from a full modern refurbishment to meet today’s traveller expectations.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice quiet area, over the road to a boardwalk along an extensive beautiful beach and bay. Our 2 bedroom Unit was spacey, clean, had all the extras, great kitchen even plunger coffee. And the best part was the privacy of the Unit.

10/10 Exceptional

The facilities are fantastic for a motel. It was extremely clean, well maintained and very homely. We loved it. Great place to stay if you're doing the first light marathon in the future as it's close to the start line, and very close to the beach ( about a 1 min walk) .
Sheed, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This motel was fine - the parking is a bit tight and one night when we were coming home after dinner our ‘space’ was taken so we parked in front of another unit and I felt a bit awkward doing that in case they weren’t back themselves yet.
