I stayed here severl nights during my vist to Whitianga. It's a small, privately run place, only a few minutes walk from the I-site where my bus dropped me off, and with local shops and eateries within easy reach. But my room was quiet and well furnished (it felt like new carpet underfoot). The owners were very helpful, one day loaning m an umbrella when it was raining. Another nice touch was thevariety of teas & coffees available in my room, nt just the standard ones.

This motel is great. The most wonderful hosts who can't do enough to help. Super clean with every thing needed in the kitchen. The pool is lovely, things for kids to play on, great location in the cenre of town while being a few yards to the beach. When I next visit our great grand daughter here is where we will be. Thank you so much.

This place is a retro, motor-in in the Main Street of Whitianga. The operators are helpful and friendly and the place is spotlessly clean. It is old style but has everything you need, good shower, comfortable bed and a kitchen. The location is great, a couple of minutes walk to the ferry and waterfront and shops and cafes on your door step. Very quiet. Highly recommended, great value.

We stayed in a studio with a big king bed and a single with a kitchenette. Very adequate for the three of us for our overnight stay. Just need to upgrade the tv with all the Freeview stations :). Internet was fine. Walking distance to shops, cafe and beach.

Joanne and Mervyn provide a welcoming and friendly service. The motel is in the heart of Whitianga so easy walking to the shops, beach, wharf and ferry to Cooks beach. The units ( 1-6) are dated, so expect a 70s decor experience. There are newer units (7-12) which maybe more modern. They did have ramps for one, so good for wheelchair access. Our unit was very clean, however each room only has one power point so with todays devices you need to take a power board to charge everything. Wifi was quite reliable while we were there, though only have 5 GB for stay. Rooms are quite small with no wardrobe, though you can hang a few items on the wall and a set of drawers is provided, along with plenty of mirrors. There is no air conditioning so the units are very hot in the peak of summer, though a fan was provided. Units serviced each day with clean towels and we were provided with sachets of shampoo, soap, make up wipes which my daughter loved. I do not drink tea and coffee however they are supplied in each room. Our little fridge only had an ice box, so a freezer would have been handy for our week stay. A washing machine is provided free, buy powder at reception and coins for dryer if needed. The pool is quite shallow however nice to cool off in on a hot day. Location is key to this motel.

Completely over rated. Pics of the pool are not justified as it's freezing cold in summer and situated in the car park. Rooms are neat and well kept but an overhaul of the bathroom is 20 years overdue. The $2 light fittings could also be replaced and a ceiling fan would not be out of place. If this was cheaper it would be fine but I will spend another $20 next time

A great place to stay if you visiting Whitianga. Location is walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach. The owners, Mervyn and Joanne are very friendly and helpful. Daily beach and pool towels are available and even a spade if you heading to Hot Water Beach. Thanks for a great stay.
