A very cute little spot, We stayed on the upper level. There is no elevator , but it's not needed because it's just one set of stairs up to the balcony! The room was lovely, very cute duvet set and bigger than I had expected. Stayed for one night, perfect location for walking around the town centre! Would stay again!

This really is a great beach front motel with a good gas barbeque, hot spa pool and kayaks there free to use. It is around 10 minutes drive to the main town center, restaurants and super markets, no hardship though.

Beautiful location. We stayed in an individual cottage and it was lovely and spacious and clean with a comfortable bed. The porch was a nice amenity and the garden out front was just starting to bloom. Check-in was easy and they gave us good tips for local food and drink, and tips for the walk to Cathedral Cove. And fast internet! Highly recommend.

For once the pictures exactly reflected the rooms/view - it was so great to wake up and be able to look out at the ocean! The staff were excellent and made great dinner recommendations. Room had great amenities provided (tea/coffee/toiletries) and had updated furnishings. Would definitely recommend!

Very clean and beautiful rooms. Also beautiful restaurant, fantastic when I paid for add-on breakfast - best breakfasts of whole NZ trip. They do not provide clean bed sheets daily fyi. The dinners were also fantastic and the view from the rooms was fantastic. Difficult if you have any sort of knee or ankle issue - lots of very steep uphill, lots of stairs. Resort is at the edge of a cute suburb, rather than totally isolated as the pictures imply. Some of the most friendly staff I have ever...
