2nd time being here. Spacious room. Friendly staff. Very comfortable bed. Good water pressure. Really close to the beach. Soundproof and not noisy at night.

If it weren't for that one bug I found at night right before I'm about to sleep I’d give it a 10/10. Staff member in the morning told me they’ve had professional pest control here last month. The hotel offered a 20% off for my next stay. And they’ll do another thorough pest treatment. I’ve spent half a night inspecting the room after eliminating that one bug. I haven’t found more bugs or any eggs. It’s not going to deter me for another stay in the future.

Easy walking distance to main town centre. Beachfront location. Good parking. Really comfy beds. All facilities available that was needed for an enjoyable stay, laundry room and the bonus of hotel accessed Netflix. Lovely outside seating area. Staff very friendly and approachable helped me to use the washer.

Everything was excellent. I do have personal disliking to bathrooms that don’t have locks.

Location was excellent! so close to the beautiful beach and close to the main township. Presentation in the room was neat and inviting. The patio area was spacious and private and the trees around the patio area made you feel like you were on a tropical island. The guy at the reception desk was friendly and very helpful when we needed help, welcoming and informative.

The cleanliness could have been better in the bathroom. Stained toilet and the grout around the tub. A little rust in the microwave. Was expecting the spa bath to be next to a window as it was pictured in the photos on the listing but that was not the case. It is Winter time so we had to pull out the spare blankets from the cupboard and those did not feel clean, seemed like they were just sprayed with something and it had a wax coating on the blankets.

Loved the staff who checked us in, was polite and helpful, great service! Loved the distance from the beach for morning or evening strolls, the room set up was lovely and the spa bath was enjoyable. Perfect to just sick back and relax. If we need to be in the area again will definitely book again.

The spa bath not being cleaned properly, as there were previous stayers hair that was falling down from the blowers, so I had to wash and wrinse it out again before we used it.

The location is perfect, the convenience couldn’t have been better as it is right off the motorway. We had a very late check in but were able to gain access via door code. The room was huge, an apartment with everything you’d need to be self- reliant for a week or more.

The room was cold when we arrived at 10pm, it heated up quickly but it would have been nice if someone had thought of this beforehand. The spa pool was not an option either because the drain didn’t close.

Good communications from the team, rooms were warm, spa bath was excellent, bed was very well made, prompt response to a door lock issue. Easy booking process. Parking very handy and great location with quick walk to the beach.

A temporary problem that previous tenants should also be responsible for - reduce the strong smell of cooking with the doors open for just a bit longer before we arrived late in the evening as it was too cold to have them open when we arrived.

The location is very good, able to walk into town in under 10minutes. The beach is just at the bottom of the road, 2 minutes away. Easy to park right outside your apartment. We had a comfortable stay, the bed was good, it was nice having a lounge area with sofa. Staff were very nice.

The carpet was very old and the spa bath had the shower over so found it quite difficult to get in as the bath was so large

Clean, comfortable, good facilities in the room. Great location to go for a walk on the beach and quiet for a good night's sleep. I like the keypad entry to the room.

The standard was comparable with other hotels we stayed at in New Zealand but the price was about 20% more per night, so I was expecting a slightly higher standard than what we got.

I watched this motel being built years ago & said at the time,one day I will stay in a room.It was just lovely.

Maybe the entrance door needs a repaint as with all the sceatch marks we wondered what we were walking into.First impressions count.Duct tape on an outdoor chair wasn't a good look.
