Was looking forward to staying across from the water. The views were spectacular. Location was great. Stayed in a ground floor family suite for 4 nights. The toilet did not flush properly and we were constantly moving the inside cistern around to shut the damm thing up. The lighting blew in the bathroom and the issue was not fixed until... More

We pre-booked Bucklands Beach as we were at the end of our holiday and wanted somewhere quiet for the last days of our holiday and not too far from the airport. Our room(s) were in a chalet style unit, with living/kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor and bedroom on a mezzanine floor.The chalet was nicely furnished,had outside seating area... More

The managers were very welcoming and a... More

My wife and I stay at this motel at least once or twice per year. We believe it to be the best motel in the Auckland Area Margy and Roger really look after their guests and nothing is too much trouble Rooms are very spacious and spotlessly clean A real pleasure to stay here

We stayed in one of the rear units that may be older than the front ones. Yes they were dated and a little 'tired' but everything worked and the bed was comfortable. A welcome basket had some snacks in it - that was a nice touch. It was pouring with rain and the undercover parking adjacent to the unit was... More

Room a nice size but in urgent need of a spruce up, curtains had holes in, rust in bathroom, woodwork damaged and dented, old furniture. There was an iron and ironing board in the room and hairdryer, but on whole of site only one washing machine and dryer,... More
