-10 out of 5. Paid $250 US. ,440nz. I saw Kelly in town and told him a few things needed. Such as replacing a broken can opener. TP. He says, request coming. Well it never came. We were later told that those items will not be provided. Hum. Ok. Is he scamming his guests?
I left a note saying there were safety issues, would Kelly like me to review them. No response. I left a note because the office is never open. I stayed there in December for 15 nights. Saw Kelly for a few minutes the whole time. Smoke alarm had to be reset. Which little 5 foot me, had to climb on a chair and whack it with a broom. Fridge door wouldn't shut because the freezer was caked in ice. Toilet wouldn't stop running. I'm not a complainer. But this was over the top terrible. I have family in waiheke. They told me to not ever stay there again. There are many other options.

Hello, my stay overall was very pleasant. There were some problems that I had to deal with as no office personnel were present. I have family that live on waiheke and so it was very convenient to be able to pick me up at the motel. My son and his wife will be expecting their 1 st baby at the end of January. I have already booked a room in late March. Hopefully Kelly can accommodate my wishes as I will be hosting dinners to celebrate the addition to the Wyatt and Ruth Dooley family. Thank you

Disappointing - photos don’t tell full story

Photos of the family unit seemed ok, and at $300 per night we thought that it surely had to be good for that price. The place had a “self service vibe” as we had to pick up a key from a lock box despite arriving at 2pm, and reception was never staffed. The place was dilapidated with bad smells from the kitchen, the fridge and the couch. The carpet was dirty and oily, and the shower was full of black marks on the wall. Bathroom had missing cupboard doors and a hole in the wall covered with tape and painted over (“that’ll fix ‘er”). Lots of locals on the island asked us “is it as bad as everyone says?” so it doesn’t have a good reputation, and we saw several disappointed looking guests walking past our room after just checking in.

Google reviews are a bit more honest, but on both sites the owners post defensive replies blaming the guests for the issues. In fact this review will probably get a response from the owners saying “well you didn’t come and raise this with us” - well mate, it’s not our job to monitor the state of cleanliness of your motel. I doubt a carpet cleaner would have turned up at short notice. And in any case, apart from the cleaners who laughed about leaving an element on in a room all night, we only ever saw a staff member hurrying us out at check out time. All told, this and the passive aggressive note on the window at reception (“don’t call us unless it’s urgent”) give out a message that they don’t care about guest experience.

This is an excellent location. Walkable to Countdown, cafés, and the Saturday Market. Spacious rooms with kitchen and supplies. We prefer cooking in and this made it the best option for the price. Free laundry was a bonus. Kids enjoyed the pool and spa, even though it was a little chilly. We spent the evening playing board games that we borrowed from the reception.

Little gem on the island

Located in a quiet but accessible part of the island, the motel is a gem. Christina and her partner go out of their way to welcome you with open arms and make every aspect of your stay a memorable one. The rooms are clean and comfortable - I hadn't slept so well in a long time.

Yes the rooms need updating and more modern amenities but it's just cosmetics. Rooms have a small fridge, microwave, sink, plates, etc. and the grocery store is a 2 minute walk. You're never far from a beach, a hiking trail or a vineyard! Ask Christina to book your excursions and trips, she's fabulous.

Central to Waiheke. Large Unit

Motel is at one end of Ostend shopping street and roughly in the middle of the built up part of the Island. Owners very helpful and plenty of room in the unit.

Great location and nice host

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights on our Christmas holiday.
Very close to countdown and other shops, easy to go anywhere in Waiheke Island.
The room is clean and tidy with most of the things you need.
Plus, Christina is a very nice host! Highly recommend :)

Family trip to waiheke

Really friendly welcome and great location. The pool was cold and murky but kids enjoyed it! The bed was soft and we did get woken up by other residents coming home late but overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay

Central to all amenities, close to airport

Had a great few days on the island, enjoyed it very much , loved how we bumped into Hollywood stars who were just ever say people now going about the day.
Every one should visit this place.
Get out the back and see native wildlife too.
