Detailed Reviews
i'm just now reading the reviews that they provide a spade for hot water beach, bikes, and breakfast! even still, we were very impressed. would have been nice to have air conditioning because my partner was having severe allergies, but the temperature of the room was cool throughout the night without it. very flexible, casual, friendly vibe. everything was very easy. the soap in the bathroom smelled excellent! the milk was nice, the french press was great, the little mini-kitchen was useful. plus it was spotless!

Although we were only here for one night, Fred seemed only too happy to allow us to check in early as we arrived late morning and ideally wanted to leave our bags somewhere. We were given unit 2 which although very dated inside, was clean and tidy had sleeping for 3, a full kitchen with plunger coffee, Sky tv, dining table and stove plus microwave. Location was walking distance to the main shops and dining optons etc. No heat pump/air con, but did have a freestanding fan heater which worked well for us. For the price and what we needed for a short stay it was ideal.

Stayed here for 2 nights in Feb 2020. Excellent location - only a few minutes walk to the shops, bars, restaurants and beaches, but far enough away to be very quiet and peaceful in the evenings.
Fred the owner, is absolutely superb, friendly and exceedingly helpful, nothing is too much trouble for him.
The room I had was very well presented, very clean and very comfortable. If I make a return visit to Whitianga, I will definitely stay in this motel again. Thank you Fred.

Excellent location, short stroll into town full of Boutiques, Cafes, Restaurants and much more. Marina situated a minute away and walking distance to local beaches. Fred was amazing host and super accommodating, even sharing his freshly grown fruit and veges with us. Accommodation was clean with comfortable bed and parking outside the front door. Looking forward to returning.

This is the cleanness motel I have ever stayed in. Full kitchen with stove, microwave and a great range of crockery and cutlery. First motel we stayed on this road trip which had proper spoons for cereal and not soup spoons! Very comfortable and quiet. Host keen to ensure the stay was comfortable although he had gone AWOL when we arrived! Bathroom small with limited toiletries.

We stayed in the three bedroom house and it has been newly renovated. We were a family of 6 and absolutely loved the accommodation. Everything was better than expected and the manager was more than helpful. There were two toilets as well which is a bonus when staying with a large group. We highly recommend this motel and would definitely stay again.

We stayed two nights. The staff were great. The place was so spotless and we even got the newspaper left at our door on day 1! It is an older motel but in a kitsch kind of way. We would stay again!
I was so happy there was a washing line to dry laundry...

We were met by the host who was lovely and welcoming. The rooms were larger than expected and had everything we needed. The motel is an easy walk into town. We even had a small private deck that caught the afternoon sun. The heater warmed up the unit quickly, plus we were off the road front so found the unit nice and quiet. Ample parking. Would definitely stay again.

We have been to Peninsula few time and absolutely love it. Stayed in the Studio Apartment which was really clean and kitchen well equipped. Wifi was brilliant. TV had all Sky channels including movies and sports. And even inbuilt Netflix. Fred the Manager is always pleasant and even offered us some of his home grown fresh lettuce. Looking forward to our next visit there.

Excellent place to stay. It offers everything like a 5 star hotel. Located in central and handy to everywhere. Room has an air condition, however there was no mention of it on the advertisement and it was very important for us. Clean and comfortable.
