First impressions last! We were greeted warmly and allowed to check-in early which was lovely. Always nice to unpack a little and head off for the day. Awesome spot with amazing views and a few resident Kereru to enhance the views. Would highly recommend!

Very pleasant motel to stay in. Pool was nice for the kids. Only minor note was that the lounge furniture was like outdoor furniture so a little uncomfortable but beds were really comfy. Nice towels and pool towels supplied also. Would stay again :-)

A Solid Stay - Would Book & Stay her again!
Room # 10 - 1 x Night Stay \ Paid NZ$180= A quiet place to unwind and we felt very relaxed. Although not new the rooms are in quiet good condition. The only complaint many Door Knobs pulled off into my hands!! The Manager was very friendly with a lovely welcome. The early check in was much appreciated. Would stay here again when in the Mangonui area.
