The unit was quiet, warm, clean, and roomy .
There was everything we needed to enjoy a nights accommodation . Our host had already put the heater on before we arrived as the temperature had dropped .
The room quite big, clean and tidy. The only negative thing the room doesn't have an aircon but they provide a fan. We only stay for a nite, so not really a big deal. Other than that it was lovely to stay here.

Excellent place to stay, clean and tidy, beds and pillows were comfortable. Easy accessible walkway to the beach. My 2nd time staying and will definitely be back again 😊
Very quiet, peaceful
Nice cozy rooms.
Staff are very helpful and kind.
We just stayed there overnight but overall I enjoyed it and would very happily make another visit.
Thoroughly loved my stay, unit was warm, comfy, had a fabulous shower and everything else i needed. Love the container for food scraps for the chooks and having beautiful complimentary fresh parsley growing just outside the door. Thanks team, you made my stay just the best with you friendliness, loved our chats 🙂
The staff had thoughtfully turned on the heating. So unit was lovely and warm when l arrived.
Out the back gate was access to the beach and great views.
Perfect accomodation for a family of 4 with young children. Modern interior, clean & warm adequate heating in winter. Staff were lovely and welcoming. Will definately stay again, loved the beach access and the view of the beautiful snow capped kaikoura mountain ranges

Thankyou so much for your lovely review. look forward in see you again: take care
Nice location, beach access through back gate and a park for the littlies. Looking a bit tired, could do with a new bathroom and double glazing to stop all the condensation. Also the Sky TV wasn't set up properly, one channel had no sound. Channel numbers all over the show!
Surrounding grounds were tidy and plenty of parking.

Hi Amy, Thankyou for your review, regards your review: we have been working with sky regards changing over to the new system: and we are looking at the doing Renovation slowly, as we have only had this motel since February 2023 so watch this space:regards Shirley
It was a very nice place we especially liked that there were separate bins for recycling
If we could change one thing it would be the scent of the dish soap

A nice motel, attractive and clean, with super helpful and friendly owners, and private access to a sandy beach. A 30 minute walk to town with two small children.

Thank for staying with ussafe travelsregards Shirley Grace
Older style motel but very clean and the staff were very accommodating and helpful. 2 bedroom room was very spacious and had a lounge and kitchen dining area. There is also private access to the beach which was nice. Great value for money and a lovely little hotel we would definitely use again.

Older style property but kept clean and tidy and had all amenities claimed. Good safe parking. Easy access to beach once railway crossed. Mountain views were somewhat obscured from unit windows but stunning in the morning if you made the effort. Generally quiet apart from train in middle of night, although surf was low (single glazing so very little sound proofing if you sleep lightly).
Would stay again if price right.
