Our second stay at this lovely motel, supporting family competing in the Whangamata Challenge. Very roomy 2 bedroom unit, upstairs overlooking the pool, spa and tennis court. Great facilities. I'd like to say how friendly the staff were. Would definitely stay here again and have recommended to others.

My only fault with the motel was the swimming pool as it has no shallow end, so therefore I was unable to touch the bottom they did have noodles to help keep you afloat. But there was at least 4 of us having to use them. I thought if I brought my grandchildren to stay, I would struggle to hold or play with them as the pool is too deep. I'm 5ft3. So not really short. haha. Thanks

Unfortunately the beds were not comfortable, no mattress topper so all the seams jutting through sheets. The shower was awful, a dribble, and only 2 of us had (short) hot showers. There was aircon in the lounge but not the bedrooms, and because the bathroom area is basically in the main area, and had no blinds, sleeping with the door open in order to not be stifling hot, meant sleeping in the light. There were no fans in the room. Overall pretty disappointed for the price.

Friendly, helpful and did everything they could to look after and check on my Mother, while I was working. Awesome customer service, that was above and beyond the call of duty. 5 stars!!!
