The spacious unit was ideally planned for convenience and comfort with the bedroom/bathroom separate from kitchen/lounge area. Air-conditioning was necessary because of high summer temperatures and that cooled the lounge efficiently. There is also a quiet fan in the bedroom. Very quiet motel considering there are twenty two units and busy roads on each side. Very convenient to shops, cafes and supermarkets.

Suggest lower units for elderly people so that steps are not involved.

10/10 amenities 10/10 location Big modern room Nice spa and bathroom Reception was nice and easy then was personally taken to my room and then was told how to work everything inside room 10/10 service.

The motel had a designated vape area. cant vape in your patio on the table and chairs outside your room. Every time I went exited the hotel, I seen the Owner sitting in a room with the curtain half open, just watching everyone go in and out of the motel, not professional at all. Paying customers should not have somebody watching their every move , or feel like they are on surveillance during their stay. Myself and another unit noticed this during our stay

Spacious, very clean and comfortable, we had a lovely 3 night stay over New Year. Even though the motel is on a busy road, the double glazing kept the noise out very effectively and we were not bothered at night time at all, The staff are very helpful and were keen to make our stay a pleasant one. Great location just easy 10 min walk from restaurants and cafes. We absolutely loved the cycle path along the waterfront and would definitely return.

Nothing - a great stay

Absolutely lovely welcome to the property and the room. Very personal but also professional. Clean and well maintained bedroom and bathroom, with a big shower as well as separate spa bath. Spacious bedroom and living area but at the same time did not feel empty....I think it would have been very comfortable for a prolonged stay. Only there for one night so didn't have need to cook, but seemed to have good facilities for meal prep. Walking distance to town centre and easy to find, which was great at the end of a 6 hour drive!!

Room was very well laid out. Plenty of space, and very well appointed. Modern furnishings and very well finished. Everything worked as expected. Escorted to room, shown all relevant information...... no Guesswork Best of 18 hotels we stayed at in NZ by far. 500m from a 15km out and back walk track. walking distance (less than 1km) to fast food outlets. Would thoroughly recommend.

I looked very hard for something that was less than perfect...... I gave up. Fantastic room.

Immaculately clean and well presented rooms. The bed was huge and super comfortable, and a nice big bathroom with a spa bath and shower. There is plenty of hot water and great water pressure. The motel is located on a main road, but with double glazing and blackout curtains, not a sound could be heard. Great motel managers who, on my arrival, gave me a room upgrade for no additional cost. I have never given such a good review like this to a motel before, but this one deserves it.

Everything! A very upmarket motel with great facilities. Spacious rooms, SO comfortable beds and an excellent bathroom. We had an upgrade to a 2 bed apartment, it was absolutely worth it Best motel on our 6 week trip of NZ (both Islands) so far and we still have about 10 days to go

Nothing, it's not often I'll say that as there is usually a small problem somewhere

Right from check in the reception staff were warm and welcoming and checking in was a breeze. I was shown to my room and and was given a tour of the amenities and how things worked. The unit was beautifully presented, it was lovely and clean and had all of the essential to make my overnight stay a comfortable one. I really appreciated the double glazed windows as the road noise would not made for a pleasant stay. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend this palce.

Nothing I didn't like

We had a 2 bdrm family unit. It is was very modern with a fully equipped kitchenette and large bathroom shared between 2 rooms. Most notable was the cleanliness of the entire complex and especially our room. The room had a large smart tv in the lounge, comfortable seating and air conditioning. The bedrooms had ceiling fans which were handy when it warmed up outside. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

I was very impressed with the owner when we arrived he showed us our room he showed us how to use the sky on the tv asked what temperature we wanted the aircon talked about the block out curtains and the sheer curtains showed us the information book and where the password for the wifi was. He was such a lovely guy. Would I stay there again 110% this is now my go to motel in Whatakane.

Nothing needed to improve here
