This motel advertises free wifi in all rooms. The first thing was That to guarantee Wi-Fi reception I had to have the more expensive room near the office. This was the only room that they reckoned the Wi-Fi would work. then I was given a $2 voucher which enabled 5 min of Skype time only. I was given another 2... More

We stayed here last minute after driving around - this hotel stood out in the street (after dark) with lighting, looking clean and welcoming. The owner Richard was friendly and very helpful. The rooms are clean and well supplied. It was very quiet and just a stone's throw from the beach so no noise from the late nighters on the... More

This motel is of poor standard, very untidy sourrounds, were given the wrong room number at first, room very small....whole place not to our liking at all

We stayed at this motel despite the 'iffy' reviews as nowhere else had a room for us on the night we wanted it. The room was small for two - the bed was in the living area - yet the unit had another room with beds in it for at least three (bunks). It would be a crowded living area... More

The block paving was weedy and needed a good pressure wash. Not really the best of first impressions. Also outside our room was an old washing machine. The rear of the building is... More

We had Room 15 which was large, clean and provided with TV, tea, coffee etc. Food for breakfast was provided in the room and was included in the NZ$95 we paid. Lots of restaurants close by as...

We had pre-booked this place on wotif.com a month prior. Points of interest: Arrived - couldn't remember booking were going to charge us again! Room was small and cramped Bed to sit on was so hard - it would be better sleeping on the floor! Alot of noise was coming from upstairs - walls exceptionally thin! Dirty - had alot... More

We planned to stay there for 2 nights but end up staying an extra one. Hosts were always friendly and helpful, location is just walking distance from the beach, rooms were comfy and clean, and breakfast was just perfect to start the day! We were lucky to find this place and at such affordable price, since other hotels charge you... More
