Good and bad. We arrived 20 minutes before check in, I thought it would be ok - it was not. But the desk person saw me standing at the counter and was sitting in the waiting area having a personal conversation, ignoring me, when she finally came over she was quite rude about how we were too early and told me to come back in 20 minutes. We went and had a coffee and came back to be met at the service desk by a very polite man who checked us in, although he gave vague directions to get to our room.
Once there, I stepped out of the sliding door to the outside, not expecting the step down to be about 24cm (which is a large step for anyone, let alone shorty like me). I rolled my ankle, and now my foot is swollen. When I advised on checkout, there should be a warning on the door and what had happened. The person (different lady) was unconcerned about my foot.
Other than that, the room was comfortable and very close to township and great eating places.
Despite the cons we would stay again.
Close to the town center, you can shop and eat, everything is convenient, small hotel, American style, car parking at the door of the room, convenient and safe, a bit simple configuration, open to the beach for half an hour, there are many self-service laundry shops in town
Stayed for 2 nights with wife and 8 year old son. The staff was super kind and welcoming. Our suite had amazing wraparound views of the bay. Parking spot was free and right next to our suite. WiFi was a bit spotty. Comfy bed. Walk to the beach was 10 min. Wonderful cafe in 2-3 min walk. The town was beautiful as well. Short drive north to the hot water beach was fun. I really liked this place. We made sure to clean up and do our dishes as note said extra fee if you left dirty dishes. Would highly recommend.
The coat room can accommodate 4 people, the price is not expensive. Good health, quiet, kitchenware, facilities are all available, the boss is a bit like Thai. The gas station and PAK'nSave supermarket are right next to it. Quite satisfactory accommodation experience.
Room was little, barely enough space to open a suitcase. Worst of all, despite AC blowing very hot air it was all escaping through front doors. Insulation was nonexistant. My room had 14C degrees when I woke up. Not recommended.
This is on the way there. When we arrived we meet friendly staff and a nice clean setting, the room was spacious and a fabulous view of the marina, not to forget the tutukaka Twilight market with great atmosphere and sounds. It was a Hot day so unfortunately when we got back to our room that also was very hot and there was no air conditioning we did have great stacker windows and a fan in the ceiling but it was no match for the warmth we had that day. So going to the premises outdoor swimming pool seems like the logical thing to do upon arriving we found a great pool salt water chlorine and a beautiful Pahutakawa just waiting to burst into flower. Couldn’t put to put much wrong with this place I would guarantee it to friends thanks guys,great stay
Was an ok stay for one night slightly higher pricing and the mattresses were a bit past so not a good sleep unfortunately then we were rudely awoken by someone bashing on our door and didn't stop til we opened it only to go sorry wrong room this was at 7am unfortunately we left before open hours of the office or we would have asked for a partial refund on our stay
Great location and excellent accommodation, will definitely book again in the summer. The only thing that was below par was the TV that was all but useless. With three children and pouring rain there was no tv and we couldn’t play movies either.
The motel is in a good location. But the hotel is quite run down and very tired. The unit we had was relatively clean. The swimming pool looked a bit like a scene from a horror movie... In summary, It wasn't a bad experience to stay there, and it was quite good value for money.

GGuest UserSuch a beautiful location right on the waters edge. I stayed in one of the four standalone cabins. Each had their own covered outdoor seating area facing the water which was great when it was both sunny and raining. The cabin was clean and had all the equipment I needed. I was impressed that they provided washing up liquid, scrubbing brushes etc as often these sorts of things are not provided. There was no air con but fans were provided which helped and the bed was comfortable. The shower/kitchen block was close by with plenty of toilets and two showers. Both showers were hot and powerful, although one was so powerful it was painful! The other was much better. The kitchen /laundry area was well equipped although the oven was missing the shelves inside. Again it was all very clean.
GGuest UserStaff were super friendly. It was a good price for good accommodation, within walking distance from the beach, restaurants etc. Small things could have earned a full 5 star rating such as extra pillows as ours were a bit flat, having more toilet paper as 3 rolls single ply for 4 people on a 5 day trip didn’t cut it, but overall a good experience. The laundry was a bit dated so we ended up using the laundromat down the road, and we had no idea where the gym or restaurant was which would have been nice to have been informed of when we checked in.
