A true retro motel from the 1960s. Clean sheets, a comfortable bed, and a peaceful setting away from the main drag. Close to the harbour walkway, great for a run. Like many NZ motels, it would benefit from a full modern refurbishment to meet today’s traveller expectations.

Lovely receptionist. The room was cold, the aircon/heater didn't work. Only had a small heater which only heated half the room. Not enough towels, only had 2 for the family of 5 people that stayed the night. I paid $280 for a cold room with insufficient heating. Not much parking space either. Will not be staying here again.

It was nice and tidy and not terribly expensive good staff etc..we felt disappointed it didnt have a seperate water facility that we could top the jug up from and get a glass of water and wash the dishes...without the need to use the bathroom sink for all these ..

Nice quiet area, over the road to a boardwalk along an extensive beautiful beach and bay. Our 2 bedroom Unit was spacey, clean, had all the extras, great kitchen even plunger coffee. And the best part was the privacy of the Unit.

Well the house keeping was appalling. Their house keeping comprise of replacing your towels, nothing else. After complaining, they decided to clean the room properly after the 4th night. Very poor, no customer service for a room which cost me NZ $200 a night.
