Environment Location: Located by the beautiful beach, with a great view, close to grocery stores and restaurants, such as being 8 mins to grocery store and restaurants at Tutukaka. The location is right on the beach, providing a superb view of the bay.

World class view!
A quick overnight trip en route to Russell but a lovely place. Super clean and well equipped. Staff were extremely nice and helpful. Beautiful place on the beach with a world class view. Wish we could have stayed longer. Nice restaurants nearby too!

Beautify waterfront spot, mature pohutukawa shade in front lawn, golden sands beach, no surf but beautiful for swimming. Motel facilities simple, bathroom dated but everything super clean and tidy. Friendly management . 8mins to grocery store and restaurants at Tutukaka.

View was beautiful and relaxing. Ross and Shelley were so nice and friendly. Although there are no stores nearby, they do offer the necessities at the office. It was great having a full kitchen. We would definitely recommend staying at The Sands.

I can't thank you enough for giving us such an amazing experience. The units were spotless, loads of blankets, pillows and towels. We had not been together for over 5 years and this is just where we needed to be. Used the BBQ, swam, walked the beach and easy access to the Marina at Tutakaka and the dairy. What a lovely couple running the Sands Motel. My eldest daughter flew out yesterday and my second daughter went back to Auckland. We now know where my husband and I can come for a break. We will be back. Carole

My partner and I were very pleased with this little motel. The staff were friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. The Unit was spotless and warm. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will happily stay there again sometime in the future.
