Lovely place to stay. Great views over the beaches and surrounding area. Quiet and easy to find. Would definitely book again. Mark was very welcoming but left us to enjoy our stay, which was what we were looking for.

Mostly great but no air conditioning?
Great accommodation, amazing views and very welcoming hosts, the only things that let the property down were some cheap fittings (kettle, TV and microwave all felt substandard) and no air conditioning (just a radiator and fan) - we did not have too much of an issue but I’d be worried in summer.

Our new favorite place to stay
Beautiful apartment sized villas located at the top of the hill at Cable Bay with the best coastal views in the area. We stayed for 4 nights and loved having this as our base as we explored the now familiar area. Fantastic team, clean and modern suites. The gentle sounds of the ocean eased us to sleep at night. Great value for money and would recommend. :-)

LOVED this villa. We were in Villa 11 and it had the most beautiful views. The villa itself is very modern and one of the best places we have stayed in. John the host was very knowledgable about the area and gave us great options on where to go and eat. An added bonus. We would definitely recommend to everyone to stay here if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed!

Great views in the heart of Doubtless Bay
Modern, clean and spacious units with breath taking views over Cable Bay. We stayed in a studio unit which is on the ground floor. If you want a full kitchen and upstairs option with a balcony, pick a villa. The motel is on a hill, just a short stroll to Cable Bay beach. Great place to stay if you want to explore Karikari peninsula.

In the apartment we stayed in - there are others which may not be up to the same standard - everything was wonderful. The view - stunning; the bed - super comfortable; the onsite management team - welcoming, communicative and attentive. We'd love to come back. Not cheap but a quality stay which did not disappoint.

Bitterly disappointed. Management was totally unwilling to help. We are in our 60s and we were given a room with 30 plus stairs. No help forthcoming to carry suitcases. No air conditioning. No dining options within walking distance. Totally overrated. Very basic. Disappointing end to our spectacular holiday. We'd recomment not going further north than

Hi Richard, we are bitterly disappointed to read your review and would be grateful if you could let us know when you stayed here. We always try and assist guests when checking in, and if a studio was available with less steps we would have accommodated you in one of those. We would definitely have offered to help with your suitcases as so would any of our staff. We do not advertise air conditioning or any dining options within walking distance. Kind regards, Sue and John, Managers

Spacious with beautiful view of the bay. Very short walk or drive to the bay which is fun to swim and walk along. Very friendly and helpful staff. Not too far from Cape Reinga which we really enjoyed hiking around. Good dining in the area.
