Lottin Point Motel

We did a family road trip around the east cape and we stayed here for 2 nights. The location is magic and the host Roger was very helpful and welcoming. The rooms are clean and simple but have everything you need to enjoy a very special and unique part of the world. We bought all our food at Opotiki and if you’re nice to Roger he might let you use the cooking facilities in the cafe.

The views are too die for!! amazing, really, disappointed in the room and price. Their was hardly any cooking facility only electric fry pan and microwave , they charged $300.00 for a night no tv ,internet is crap. Only 2 options at the restaurant on the menu fish or pork with salad and fruit salad for dessert $60.00 ahead .No thanks will go somewhere more user friendly, to basic for the price

If you want a laid-back motel experience in a beautiful, secluded setting, this is your place. Our room was lovely, with a view of the water. Nearby, you can walk down to a rocky beach and even locate a small waterfall. The road getting here feels a bit small and precarious, but that's half the fun. What makes this place special is the proprietor, Roger, who is super chill. Don't be surprised if an afternoon slips by as you and Roger chat and share a drink or two. This isn't a place for busy itineraries. You come here to get away from it all in a stunning, laid-back setting. Great value.

A brilliant place in the perfect location. ( A bit of the main road but well worth the trouble) The view of the coast and ocean is great an easy walk from the room. Rooms are very well presented and facilities are very good. (They were renovating all the rooms and facilities when we visited ) We were the only guests at the time we were there, the ladies that were there went we arrived were very helpful and could not do enough to help us. The new owner (Roger) was terrific and a pleasure to talk to, he went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We look forward to our next trip N.Z. and will certainly be staying there longer the next time we are in the area.

We had a confirmed booking from Jan2023 for April. On turning up we were not able to locate anyone… we drove back to Point Hicks for phone service. The new manager has recently taken over & our booking was not forwarded. There is no restaurant or bar in operation. We had no food, so found other accommodation further on, with a restaurant luckily.

We stayed 1 night in a spacious 2nd floor unit during our East Cape drive. It was very clean with great water pressure in the shower & a small kitchen. Marija does everything (check you in , cook & serves food, clean) and was friendly and interesting to talk to. She is a "tell you like it is " person which we throughly enjoyed! Take the short walk to the rugged bay. There's very little amenities or places to stay in the area so we felt lucky to have delicious food(dinner & breakfast). And relative to the prior reviews about the road in to the property being rough - it's not owned by the hotel, and yes it's narrow & needs work but the whole cape has had many weather events & many rugged roads left to do. It is fine , no worse than the curvy roads in Spain or Italy; just take your time, try not to do it at night, and be rewarded at the end with a nice stay!
