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!
Thanks Gareth, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday.
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 have recently implemented a minimum age for children, and to be fair to those that book our property because of this we cannot make concessions. We book these types of properties ourselves when we travel and are appreciative of the ambience they provide. There is no point in making personal attacks on good staff who are implementing policy.
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'
Thanks for your review. We are pleased you generally enjoyed your stay.
Please know that we have had new furniture on order since August this year. Many suppliers are experiencing delays in components that need to come from overseas. The room you were in is one of the last beds we need to update, and the import of latex has been an issue, but they hope to have delivery to us before the end of the year. We have been advised that the order for new chairs are due this week - finally!
The pool has finally warmed up this week too with some sunshine on it, so is cleaned and now ready to go for the summer. While we had some warm days the water itself was no where near swimmable during your visit, hence why the pool had not been cleaned that week.
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
