This is the perfect base for exploring the area, and it's tremendous value. We stayed three nights in one of the double spa bath units. They must have given us the best unit in the place (#12). It was upstairs, away from the main road, so it was very quite and private. We could see both sunrise and sunset from our room. It was spotlessly clean and the housekeeping is first rate. We went out for a couple hours in the morning, and came back to find the room fully serviced. While the motel is not brand new, it has been updated to a very high standard. Our host, Jo, was very helpful with an introduction to the area and recommendations for places to eat and sights to see (Tawharanui WAS exceptional - thanks, Jo). The staff were there when we needed them, and invisible when we didn't - perfect. The only surprise is that there is no air conditioning, just fans and heaters. This was not an issue for us, but it might get a little warm at the peak of summer. But it looks like all units have windows/doors on at least two sides, and the motel is on top of the hill, so natural ventilation is great. The location is excellent: places to eat and shop across the road and within walking distance, and a short, enjoyable walk to the beautiful beach. There is so much to do within a 15-minute drive, we could have stayed for weeks. They showed us one of their spacious 2-bedroom suites; we might have to bring the family next time.…
Stayed overnight in this lovely motel - would like to have stayed longer. Very clean, very spacious room, well equipped. The pool was nice and warm and it was no problem to organise a late check out, which we really appreciated. Great location too - good bistro and coffee spot across the road, and beach just down the hill. Would definitely stay again, just for longer next time!
Spacious rooms, immaculate housekeeping and great location. The perfect swimming pool, nice and deep, heated to take the chill off and surrounded by a tropical garden. Stayed for 5 nights and loved it. It is located well, close to some lovely bays, Kawau Island and Matakana. Really added to our holiday swimming in the sea and then coming back and enjoying the pool.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The pool is amazing and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff are very friendly and are happy to share their local knowledge of the area. They can also recommended the best spots along the beach for a swim. We plan to go back again soon.
Its a very clean and fresh 80s style concrete block motel. If you dont have a view I dont think you get value for your dollar. Friendly check in, we were offered a choice of rooms, bed was comfy but only queen size. TV in sitting area and bedroom and a kitchen with cooking facilities. Lots of food options across the road.
