Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The room was big and it had everything I needed for the night. The space was mostly clean but there we’re definitely places that were missed. I did not see a member of staff until I left the next day and saw housekeeping from a distance. To check in I had to find my name on a list and let myself into the room- the door was wide open. The check in isn’t really an issue but I did have a couple of issues with the bath and there was no one to speak to. The jacuzzi bath that I paid extra for did not work. There was a contact number but I have an international phone and did not want to be charged a fortune to let them know. I checked reception a few times but there was never anyone there.

This little motel is tucked away in a non-busy part of Whitianga so it’s very quiet with personal service. We loved the little patio. Sofa bed was actually very comfortable. Would definitely recommend

Oldie But Goodie!

This is an older motel with little kitchenettes in great condition with the most beautiful dishes made in New Zealand. It was quiet and comfortable until early morning when the traffic started. We did have the windows open to make it a nice cool night.
