Lovely staff, great location, can't fault it! I would certainly recommend for anyone to stay here! Has a pool and a spa, and one day we were running late for a tour and they even cleaned our breakfast dishes!

Nice clean and comfortable motel with everything we needed.Very good value and handy for the great beach. In a quiet road away from traffic. Wish we had stayed longer . Also recommend the river walk starting from near the Treaty house, it takes about an hour to the Falls.

For a poorly decorated 80s prison cell the price was definitely too high. Not only this but there was no privacy and we could clearly hear EVERY sound of the family in the adjoining room. And the queen bed requested turned out to be a single in one corner and a double in the other. Not impressed and do not... More

Really enjoyed our 4 nights here in January 2013. Reasonable price for the time of year, it is a very clean and quiet motel just off the main road but only short walk from the beach. Nice pool area too.

2 star , 3/10 80's Decor ; Kitchen , toilet / hower , Joint bed room. Hotter than Hell in summer. No Airconditioning , No Fans or flyscreens , the windows only open 6". Small "backyard" sized swimming pool. Staff seemed nice enough and the place was clean. Close to activities and restraunts.

You might find that a modern motel with air-conditioning and a large pool would cost you a bit more. We pride ourselves on offering clean, affordable accommodation. As mentioned in the guest compendium, fans are available if requested. Most of the time in summer the temperatures are a pleasant 23-26 deg C during the day, falling to 15-20 deg C... More

We were there only 2 nights (Dec.30/31). Didn't want to leave. Friendly staff, great area, wish we had time to play tennis. Perfect location to be so close to what's happening without being ON the busy strip...our first taste of New Zealand was made even better by this location. We are inclined to "self-cater". The kitchenette had everything we needed,... More

We booked into this Motel going from what the pictures and the reviews were. When booking, I asked if the Swimming Pool was available for use and was told yes. When we arrived, the receptionist questioned our deposit. Next morning, the owners didn't know what was available with regards to attractions. The swimming pool was disgusting. It was green and...

Thank you for your review Jannine. I'm sorry the pool wasn't at it's best. It's the busiest time of the year for us and I didn't respond quickly enough to it's deterioration. Increased usage and temperature meant it needed more chlorine than usual. I have since rectified it and it is clear and clean. I will be more vigilant in... More
