Right from the warm welcome to checking out, the place was great. The room was very clean and spacious, had a very well equipped kitchen and a nice eating area. We didn’t use the pool because of the weather but it was clean and easy to access. We’d go back in a minute! Close to town for walking to parks and restaurants, too.

Welcoming greeting at reception, unit door open and inviting. Decor fresh and uncluttered. More spacious than I expected. Bed linen and covers good quality and clean. Kitchenette provided had everything that would be needed. Toiletries and towels provided excellent. Shower had good pressure and very clean. Excellent television, channels and wifi. Local temperatures very high so we're thankful for the air conditioning in the unit which definitely worked extremely well. Initially I thought the pool needed cleaning but found was normal wind blown foliage. Pool towels were supplied close to the well secured pool entry. Pool was definitely a highlight, non slippery and cool. This motel complex felt very private and secluded due to being nestled up a driveway leading away from the main road sounds. Owners/staff very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely like to return and would recommend.

This is a charming little motel close to one of the most charming towns. The owner made sure we could check in early after our sleepless night flight into Auckland. We had a nice swim in the pool and the location is so quiet and in close proximity to the main part of the town.

Property somewhat dated but was clean. The unit’s door only had a blind over it and that let too much light in for a good sleep. We had to cover it with a blanket off the spare bed.

Set back off the street so no street noise but could hear everything from other people in the complex. Two men stayed up talking right outside our door until 2:00 in the morning. Would not stay here again because of this. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Spacious rooms. Everything was clean
