Grant, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasant stay in motel unit. Suited what we needed for over fight stay.
Brett, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was quite old, moldy, and in poor condition. The sink was filthy, the soap dispenser was broken, and the water tap couldn't be properly turned off. The bed linens were old and bit dirty. However, the location and communication were great.
Heera, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in a 3 bedroom room with toilet. It was basic as expected but we still found it very comfortable and very good value. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I would have no problem with staying here again.
Stewart, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and tidy room with private bathroom and shower. One double and one single bed. A shared kitchen which had full amenities although I did not use these. A warm fire place in the shared lounge which another nice room guest added in more firewood which the warmth flowed into the dining/kitchen area. If you are looking for a simple, fuss free room for an overnight/long stay, can't go wrong here. Under 10mins drive into the city/beach/Mt Maunganui.
Fai, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Mould on curtains, towels and bathroom. Common area not ideal to eat in, smells rotten. Not safe at night.
Jill, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Value for the money you pay. I was very happy. Might not be for fussy people though. The number given to confirm late arrival was engaged till the afternoon. Had me worried as I was trying advise I’m late and organise receiving key late.
Tommy Shane, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Used soap in shower, floor was not vacuumed and lots of dirt and dust / sticky floor. Sink was visibly dirty also.
Briar, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Went out of our way to go check in and no one was available at 3pm. Multiple people queueing up to check in with no one in the office to help, even contacted the help number on the door and waited around for 20mins but no reply. Room was super hot with no fan and nearly impossible to sleep. Also had no toilet paper in our private bathroom. Only stayed there one of our 3 nights booked.

Found a massive cockroach in the room. Initially the overwhelming smell of what I thought was cleaning product made me happy to know the room had been cleaned but it didn't dissipate.
