Hosts were lovely!
Really impressed at how fresh, bright & clean everything was - seriously think on these attributes- the best motel I have ever stayed at!!! (Thinking a recent makeover?)
Refreshed pool area & trampoline if travelling with kids/ summer travel.
I did have a slight hiccup with the very high step out of the shower ( old, inherited plumbing situation) - but was gratified when the host was open to the suggestion of a non slip step, rather than being defensive of the situation.
Perfect stop over, or longer stay, walking distance to great eateries.

Older motel but was very well maintained. Close to railway line but no trains between 10.30pm and 6.55am, so had a really good nights sleep. Would definitely stay again.

After a long stressful drive where I was constantly held up with roadworks and slow vehicles, I was very late and was going to miss the cut off time for the office.
Upon arriving I was greeted by the most lovely lady on the front desk who reassured me it was no problem I was late. I then later checked my messages to see they had tried very hard to contact me ( I was driving so couldn’t check my phone) and had arranged for me to still access my room no matter the time. It honestly made my Day.

When the room you booked is called an executive apartment, I was not expecting something that was last decorated in the 80's. Everything was clean, but so dated. We had just spent 3 weeks travelling the South Island and this was the dearest accommodation by $40.00 over.

Old and tired but tidy motel

An older motel which is definitely showing its age. The bathroom could do with a repaint - paint disappearing on the windowsill. The toilet also needs adjusting - water comes over the side of the bowl when it is flushed. Okay for a one night stay. A complete makeover would make the motel more appealing.

Quiet location and good facilities. Full sky channels in the room. Bed was comfortable and the unit was well equiped for the traveller. Didn’t have a chance to use the pool but it looked small but well formed.

We really liked the amenities - the oven meant we were fully self catering. We found the location really close to shops, public transport and a lovely walk down the Waikanae river to the beach.
Best of all was the friendly owners/staff who were welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Close enough to catch the ferry. Apart from the occasional train it was pleasantly quiet. The trains never actually bothered us. It was good to be away from busy roads. I would stay again. 😀

It is within walking distance to Mahara place Waikanae where one can find Countdown, Banks, cafe etc., and it is a short drive off the main state highway.
It is close to Waikanae train station, one can hear the goods trains passing through especially at night.

Friendly staff and very clean room. A bit outdated (bathroom sink had old style hot and cold separate water faucets). Had some noisy neighbours in room above us who kept us awake part of the night, so if you travel with young children having the upper level rooms may be a bonus.
