The staff were very helpful and obliging with my stay. Clean and tidy room. With a comfortable bed and very clean room.
Rickey
Shower clogged. Wifi code didn't work. TV remote didn't work on TV. Parking lot full of potholes, big potholes. Breakfast was good.
Linda
Clean room. No shampoo and milk for coffee
Owen
Loud traffic from the main road. Motel driveway needs repair maintenance. Barking dogs next door.
SANDRA
We didn’t see the pool.
Jonathan
The room was adequate for our 2 night stay. Very dated-70s but well done cleaners for presenting it well. Had to ask for another pillow and salt, but staff very obliging. Could do with blackout curtains as outside light shone all night!!
Gordon
Room was clean and adequate.
joyce
Staff were lovely. We had a family room and it done the trick. Old place and relatively clean. Pool was nice not deep but long enough to do some laps and the spa was so hot so takes a little bit to get into. You also have to book the spa so if you want to use it remember that. But yes old place ans needs aircon but it did have a fan. Although no good really as no locks on windows but also so much flies and insects so catch 22.

Very clean and tidy. I arrived early and was allowed to store my luggage in the office till the room was available. I was then directed to a cafe where I could get a lovely breakfast which was discounted. I would come back here.

There was mould or black spots on the curtain nettings, no air con so when we woke the windows were wet, and was too cold to keep the windows open for airflow, the curtains didn’t fit the windows in the main area, so it was either draw them to one side for privacy but the outside light shines in all night, or draw them to the other side to block out the light, but then you’ll be seen sleeping. No recycling bag or bin, and there was dirt in the tray that holds the hot drink sachets. Such a shame because the lady at the front desk was lovely
Riley
Good basic motel with decent kitchen in room -- good location to explore 90-mile beach and Northland. Only negative was hot tub wasn't all that warm.
Alex
Good place to have as a base. Close to shops and takeaways
Clive
\"Surface Clean\", but still generally dirty. Had to keep resetting the cistern in the toilet to keep it from continually running. Property next door is horrendous, thankfully it can only be seen out the back windows. Chairs were uncomfortable, beds moved so you couldn't sit up in bed and pillows were awful.
Aki
It was safe car park and pretty convenient to stores and easy access to everything
Mark
Ideal for us

Old property. Had everything you need and had a good nights rest nonetheless.

Alison
Good laundry facilities & bonus of a swimming pool & spa. Separate room for adults sleeping. A little outdated in apartment but functional. Would benefit from a clothes line on balcony or airer to dry swimming togs (eco friendlier).

Diane and Tony
Friendly helpful staff and super comfortable beds. However the TV kept failing which was annoying at night when we wanted to relax, and the curtain wasn’t wide enough to cover the ranch slider window. Great restaurants almost directly opposite. All in all was fine for a stopover in Kaitaia.

WONDERFULL, TEAM / PLACE TO RELAX.

Easy to find..next to kfc and down the road to the township but not really much to say..the room was ok..had plates and spoons which was good and cooking hobs had a bbq u can use if u wanted to cook but the room looked very outdated and bathroom doors made a loud noise when you slide it across.internet not very strong keep cutting out having to relog on a few times.you can hear the next room turning on the water which can be quite loud in yr room..no pool as getting fixed which was why we booked there didnt help with the heat that day.

The bathroom was very tired and in need of updating. There bathroom ceiling was dirty. The bed was comfortable.
Verified traveler
Great friendly staff! Had to clean the frying pan and spatula before using. No dinner plates, so had to use side plates. Really strange lighting placement, immediately above the pillows. And a stark contrasting view from what we are used to. The kitchen window overlooks the razor wire of the neighbours’ fence. Otherwise ok.

Great place to stay before you head to Cape Reinga. Caught a Tour there and our Tour Guide took us as far as you can go on Ninety Mile Beach then we cut through the Creek Sand Dunes to the top of NZ...what a adventure then back to Kaitaia. I ended up knowing Elsie at the Motels through another friend at Fulton Hogan in Dunedin small world. Friendly staff and very helpful. The place was clean and tidy and comfortable for 1 night stay and handy to Beachcomber Restaurant. I would highly recommend this place.

Very friendly and helpful.
I liked that they had a trampoline for the kids to play on.
The rooms were well equipped with cutlery, crookery etc
I booked this accomodation as it had a swimming pool. My kids still had a swim but it could have really done with a good clean. The water looked ok but the inside walls were green.

The management very kindly provided us a downstairs unit when we explained when booking that one of us had somewhat restricted mobility. The units are more spacious than many more modern motels. As with many small towns in New Zealand here are restricted dining opportunities. The best place in Kaitaia is just across the street.

Great hosts, very friendly, helpful and genuinely lovely. The motel is well located and my daughter loved the pool and spa. Good size room and well equipped if you want to cook your own meals. Only downside was the wifi - it's not great (but thats the Far North - not the motel fault). Thank you for having us.

This hotel was pleasant enough. It hasn't been updated in over 30 years, but worked well for us. Note the \"air conditioning\" here is just a box fan.

Nice hotel with spacious room on ground floor. Hotel staff very welcoming. Adequate car parking area. Would recommend to others.
Chin
Frequent disconnection on the Wi-Fi, disconnection happen almost every 10min and after that need to wait awhile for re-connection. It's rural and a super boring town which looks horrible at night due to most of the streets don't have road light. Prefer to stay in Ahipara town which 15min drive from Kaitaia, at least there have a windy beach and stars to view at night.
