Great place to stay, right in the middle of the main street !
We have stayed here several times now and the Hosts are amazing, so friendly and helpful with local knowledge.
Rooms are older but spotlessly clean, and wonderfully quiet at night 👍

Extremely comfortable bed, good linen and very clean premises. I’d suggest that a little milk and some packets of raw sugar alongside the usual teas and coffee-making stuff in the kitchen would be welcomed by many travellers. D

We ended up needing an extra night as we had to arrive a day early from Christchurch due to incoming weather. The motel was able to accommodate this need which was much appreciated, however we were charged about 3 times our original booking price for the same room. If the room had been nicer, cleaner, or updated, it may have helped. It is an older property and the cleaning was lacking. We considered checking out and moving to a nearby Airbnb for the same price but knew we would not likely get our money back. There was a dank smell to the room and mold around the shower area. The shower was small and the floor of it is made of a very slick metal. There is a tiny shelf big enough for soap only. The towels and washcloths appeared clean but had a slight odor to them. The carpeting is old and dirty. There aren’t many plugs in the room. The tv only has a select few channels. Radiator heat only. There was a large area power outage which couldn’t be helped but during that time we were not asked if we needed anything or advised of options. The only reason we decided to stick it out was our budget. After being overcharged for the additional night we felt stuck. When we learned that our Ferry had been delayed, I asked about late check out but that was a no. They did allow us to store our luggage but the room wasn’t locked so we returned for it sooner than later. Bottom line, if I had it to do over again I would not choose this property. Especially after reading recent bedbug reviews!

I and my partner stay there for a night during our trip. It's a good and clean room, which is near the sea.

A sub standard motel, the problem was our motel was above a nightclub which was a major inconvenience. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Very small space with the usual “extra bed”, no privacy blinds on the front window so we had to keep the main curtains closed making the room very dark. Huge step up to the shower???
I didn’t book the smallest room there but it felt like we where given it when we turned down the “upgrade for an extra $30”.

Greeted at reception by great friendly staff, i had an issue with the TV remote not working and sadly using a different remote did not work however this was fine as i was shown where the buttons on the TV were so not a big deal. The floor tiling in the bathroom needs a bit of attention but overall a pleasant stay.

Kitchen facility for meal preparation and cleanup. Multiple bed arrangements. Very close to the beach, water rentals, attractions and shopping. Loved the kayaking, walking trails and the Edwin Fox Maritime Museum and the Ferry ride to Wellington. Very beautiful beach and harbour. Wanted to stay longer.

Perfectly located in the middle of the main street within walking distance of everything including the beautiful harbour.
Was looked after with an upgrade and early check in with a huge swim scheduled for the following day.
Nice and quiet with comfortable bed too.

Not good for families specially if you have kids

The staff were unfriendly and rude, which made our stay uncomfortable from the start. Guests are expected to clean their own rooms, and there’s no room service at all, which felt below basic standards.

At one point, my three-year-old son poked holes in a couple of coffee milk pods. Instead of addressing it calmly, the manager confronted us in an aggressive and accusatory way, claiming we were disrespectful to the staff. It was an upsetting and unnecessary escalation that only made things worse.
