Located on the main street, the local bus stops at the door and there is a choice of four Fast Food shops less than 50 metres away. A short walk takes you to some excellent shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. The proprietors are very friendly and the allocated car park was adjacent to the room.
This motel is looking a bit dated, but extemely comfortable with a very soft bed and big fluffy bath towels. It is very clean, but the fridge is really tiny and with the door shelf broken, held very little for a three day stay. The reason I haven't given a higher rating is because there was no table and chairs - just a desk with one chair. We did ask for another one and were given a plastic outdoor chair so we could both sit at the desk for meals, but not really satifactory. I always stipulate what I want when booking a motel, but never thought to ask if a table an chairs were provided as I have never stayed anywhere before where they haven't been!
A reasonably basic property at one end of the main strip. Whilst there was nothing wrong with the room it lacked “comfort”. The bedroom was dark and nothing really appealed about it. Furnishings need to be softer and more comfortable.
Although the motel looked a bit dated from the outside, the Interior of the king suite was spotlessly clean and roomy. The room had everything I needed and the service was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again.
We stayed a night here at short notice. Very comfortable room, everything you need. Very quiet inside room. Great location, easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Lovely owners who easily accommodated an early check in.
We booked this accommodation at the last minute and found Barry very helpful both on the phone and in person on arrival. We stayed with our 14 year old daughter. There was a king size bed in the bedroom and pull-out couch in the lounge. The room was a good size for the 3 of us. We walked to the beach both days we were there. Took about 7 minutes. Was a quick walk to a restaurant/bar but slightly too long in the heat to the Mount itself. The pool was nice and refreshing and again very clean. Would recommend.
Decided to stay in the Mount for the night, found Baywatch Motor Inn, drove up to reception was met there by Barry who was super friendly and accommodating. The outdoor pool is salt water and refreshing,the spa bath was bliss, the room tidy clean and well air conditioned and the bed one of the comfiest we've slept on! This Inn recycles ♻️ Perfect for what we needed. Thanks Barry!
Got made to cancel a booking because we had a 12 week old baby. The halfwit on reception had no cognitive function to apply discretion and applied a blanket child ban (which makes no sense for such a basic/bare minimum standard of accomodation), it’s Newborns sleep 16 hours a day.... I think you would have been fine.
We booked this motel because of the location and the good reviews on Trip advisor. The ground floor studio unit we had was very spacious and has everything you will need except cooking facilities - but there are restaurants within an easy 1-10 minutes walk Although it is right on a busy road, with the windows closed we didn't hear any road noise The bed was very low down and although comfortable enough was hard to get out of sometimes. Both of the armchairs in our unit were not very comfortable to sit on and one of them was showing some obvious wear and tear on the arms. The pool area was locked and when unlocked we were told it had not been used since last summer and upon inspection it was in need of cleaning. It was quite warm 2 of the days we stayed and it would have been nice to have been able to use it. The spa bath in ther studio unit was nice and there was plenty of good pressure from the shower head Overall we felt the motel was 'ok'…
I arrived from Argentina wanting to work and get to know New Zealand. A pandemic, out of a fiction almost makes me come back and abandon this dream. Luckily that did not happen, but I also met two excellent people. Barry and Lee allowed me to stay during my self-isolation time, having been rejected by other hostels. They helped me a lot and always with the best predisposition. I am very grateful to both of them for that. The place is more than recommended for what has been said above and for the excellent service they offer. If you come to the mountain do not hesitate, Baywatch is the place. Cheers
