Very clean beach front motel, good size rooms. Very friendly staff, who complained to a coach company for parking right outside our apartment without us even asking. The coach company duly obliged and moved on.

Love the stay here. Pity our stay was unexpectedly cut short by one night due to our flight cancellation. Poppy was accessible throughout online to ensure our smooth check in and making our stay as comfortable as possible. Her warmth truly made a difference in settling us down from the very first night in NZ!

We were in Room 5 next to the kitchen but there was only one - so there were queues to use the equipment and sink. We had a lovely stay but a toaster / microwave in our room would have been lovely
