Easy drive for Auckland for a short getaway. Beautiful location, tidy, clean, well equipped rooms and lovely owners. Everything was so easy; from booking to check out. A very short stroll to a beautiful beach.

Great location right next to the beach. Rooms are very clean and new. Cost of room is a bit on the pricy end, but I guess you’re paying for the prime location so it’s okay. Lovely little cafe across the road with the best fish and chips ever! Easy check in. Friendly laid back staff.

wonderful location so close to the beach. Lovely views of the beach from the upstairs unit. Our studio unit was really comfortable, spacious and super clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Our stay was only short, but this would be a great place to stay longer and have a summer family holiday.

We enjoyed a relaxing stay in an upstairs unit with a wide view of the park and sea. Well appointed and good size unit with the best black out curtains I have seen in a motel. Very helpful and friendly staff.

A great stay in a beautiful location! Self checkin made arrival very easy. Our room was immaculately clean. Very comfortable bed (loved the bed warmers!) and plenty of space. Right across from a spectacular beach. Quiet and peaceful for a good night’s sleep. Didn’t get a chance to meet the owners, but they made it all really easy, and we appreciate that! We would quite happily stay here again!
