We stayed here for two nights.
The owner was very friendly and made us feel very much at home.
The location was perfect - though not close to restaurants and bars.
The two bedroom unit was freshly painted and was very clean. There was a very pleasant verandah to sit out on and watch the sun go down with a nice cool beer.
Overall a very pleasant to stay during our vist to the area.

We stayed here for a couple of nights when we came and chartered a sailboat for a 3 day 2 night trip around bay of islands. We stayed in one of the studio rooms the first night and Leah let us have the big family room upstairs when we came back from our sailing trip for a similar price because that's the only room she got left. The rooms are super cute and well equipped. Leah has a beautiful herb and vegetable garden in the back and laundry facility (with a dryer!) for the guests. She even dropped us off and picked us up at the pier for our sailing. We couldn't have had a better experience!

Our holiday plans went awry when my wife landed in hospital for three days. Leah from the Opua Motel was fantastic in rescheduling our prepaid accommodation so that we didn't miss out on the beautiful Bay of Islands. She even upgraded us to a very comfortable upper floor unit. Leah was helpful with itinerary suggestions and when we had to cut short the length of our stay (to fit the now shortened holiday) she provided us with a refund. If there's a better host in NZ we'd like to know! Thanks for everything Leah!

Very happy with my stay here. A good strong shower and a great location, very close to the car ferry to Okiato. Much quieter than Paihia. Lovely to have real fresh milk instead of long life. Very nice couple. Thanks.

The motel is a short walk up Franklin Street from the marina. Rooms are large and comfortable. The kitchenette is convenient.
The grounds are attractive with picnic benches. Shopping and food options are available at the marina.

Firstly, the owner is very helpful and secondly, what a great position. We used this as our night before the two day Twin Coast cycle ride where the start is just down the road. Also close to the Cruising Club for dinner and the ferry to Russell. Clean and comfortable, what else do you need.
