Management were great!
Samdy was so nice and friendly! So welcoming after a busy day! The bathrooms have had some upgrades which was good. The heatpumps arent strong enough to warm up the room in a hurry. I would stay again.

Response from Paul on 29 Jul 2022
Hi. Samdy? Ha..that would be Sharyn... Anyway, thanks for the positive review. Actually the heatpumps should heat things up very quickly, possibly the vanes may have been pointed up or perhaps I need to check the filters. Hope to see you again. Thanks Paul

It is fairly basic but comfortable. The bed was great. Just a bit disappointing to have booked onlune and they had not left the keys out for me at the unstaffed reception. No one there to assist. A phone number was left and it was fairly quickly rectified but not the best start.

Response from Paul on 12 Jun 2022
Hi Marni, Thanks for the review. Most motels are family run and as such we occassionally have to leave to do something, so we try to do our best to leave things in place for the check-ins. I had to leave to go get my daughter and didn't leave a key in an envelope for you, but left the keys for check ins and the telephone number to call, which you did, I said which key to take, which you did and all was well...I thought. So I had left the key out for you right? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your stay in New Plymouth. Thanks Paul

Clean & comfortable unit & very helpful host. A bit noisy as we were close to the main road. Not happy about people smoking out on the walkway. How about making it a smokefree property!!

A pleasant stay
Location was very good, 15 minute walk along the river to the beach. Nice & quiet, hosts friendly & helpful. There were two areas we felt could improve our pleasant stay a little more was a table & chairs to eat our meal (the one outside were fixed together & OK for a drink) also larger pans for cooking.
