    Location to the beach across the road Motel was basic but clean and tidy

    Dated and a little tired, otherwise it served our needs.

    8KennethPosted on: 12-5-2025

    Clean and comfortable with friendly staff. Great location

    Room was a bit small with no space to spread out. Room was warm during the time we were there.

    10O'BrienPosted on: 11-25-2025

    Perfect place—large clean room, lots of light, well equipped kitchen and bath AND it’s right across from the beach! Also a great quiet neighborhood.

    Nothing—it was wonderful.

    10MichaelPosted on: 5-9-2025

    Staff were great and very helpful. The room was well fitted out and spotless. Would be pleased to stay again. Noting the property is currently up for sate, would hope the new owners achieve the same standards of hospitality.

    There was nothing we didn't like!

    4Reisen K.Posted on: 4-24-2025

    Friendly stuff

    Everything is old and dated. The motel is for sale. It means they don't do anything to keep it nice and updated. Very expensive to low quality.

    5WalkerPosted on: 4-20-2025

    Being next to beach and local shops was amazing

    Outside back door is high housing and all we heard was racing of dirt bikes and can see into room through kitchen No air con. It was super muggy and hot. No water pressure in shower. Unfortunately spa bath was advertised but not clean and unavailable for use

    10JaninePosted on: 4-13-2025

    Beautiful room very clean and awesome staff have already started recommending to others

    9KeithPosted on: 3-28-2025

    Room was clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Very pleasant sitting out area and close to the beach. The staff were friendly and attentive. Plenty of places of interest, shops, cafes within a short car ride.

    10PaulPosted on: 3-28-2025

    Friendly welcome and lovely environment. Lots of useful info in room.Nothing

    10ShineekaPosted on: 3-24-2025

    Perfect location as it’s only a short walk to the local shops. Across the road from Opononi Beach. I enjoyed sitting outside the room all evening as the sun went down.

    We only stayed for one night and it was perfect for that.

    10LesleyPosted on: 3-23-2025

    Wow, what a location, Room amazing, had everything you would need, so clean, bed awesome, had the best night sleep, walking distance to shop, sunset amazing. Just perfect .Downside was we didnt book 2 nights there.

    10ArohaPosted on: 3-14-2025

    Great location with a stunning view, clean & tidy rooms.

    Bed was a bit hard.

    8PatriciaPosted on: 3-13-2025

    We had a lovely room with a view out to sea. We were close to a 4 square supermarket, information center and take away outlet

    10AnnePosted on: 3-11-2025

    Expensive but par for the course in the area. Felt it was worth it
