9.0/10

United Kingdom, May 2023

We stayed at a motel in a great location, just a short walk to the village and waterfront. The room was exceptionally clean and tidy, with a comfortable bed. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the daily servicing of the unit was appreciated. The motel had great facilities, including a pool with loungers and a shared grass area with tables. The motel was close to restaurants, supermarkets, and the passenger ferry to Paihia.

There was a lack of washing up area for the crockery and cutlery, but it was not a major issue.

7.0/10

United Kingdom, March 2023

Great comfort and welcoming staff

I recently spent my New Year’s holiday at a motel in a small coastal town in North Island, and I have to say that my experience there was pretty good. the bed was incredibly comfortable, which made it hard to get up in the morning. the staff were friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. the location was perfect for me, as it was situated right by the waterfront and close to other key amenities.

I thought the price was a bit higher than I would have liked, but I suppose that is to be expected in a popular holiday destination.
