Grant, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasant stay in motel unit. Suited what we needed for over fight stay.
Brett, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in a 3 bedroom room with toilet. It was basic as expected but we still found it very comfortable and very good value. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I would have no problem with staying here again.
Stewart, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and tidy room with private bathroom and shower. One double and one single bed. A shared kitchen which had full amenities although I did not use these. A warm fire place in the shared lounge which another nice room guest added in more firewood which the warmth flowed into the dining/kitchen area. If you are looking for a simple, fuss free room for an overnight/long stay, can't go wrong here. Under 10mins drive into the city/beach/Mt Maunganui.
Fai, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Mould on curtains, towels and bathroom. Common area not ideal to eat in, smells rotten. Not safe at night.
Jill, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Value for the money you pay. I was very happy. Might not be for fussy people though. The number given to confirm late arrival was engaged till the afternoon. Had me worried as I was trying advise I’m late and organise receiving key late.
Tommy Shane, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Used soap in shower, floor was not vacuumed and lots of dirt and dust / sticky floor. Sink was visibly dirty also.
Briar, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Went out of our way to go check in and no one was available at 3pm. Multiple people queueing up to check in with no one in the office to help, even contacted the help number on the door and waited around for 20mins but no reply. Room was super hot with no fan and nearly impossible to sleep. Also had no toilet paper in our private bathroom. Only stayed there one of our 3 nights booked.

Found a massive cockroach in the room. Initially the overwhelming smell of what I thought was cleaning product made me happy to know the room had been cleaned but it didn't dissipate.
Corin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

좋아요!
숙소는 전반적으로 깨끗하고 수압도 세서 좋습니다! 다만 투숙객들이 시끄러운 경우가 있으나 10시 이후로는 다들 조용하여 지내는데 불편함은 없었습니다. 주차공간이 조금 부족하고 경사가 심해 주차 시 주의가 필요합니다!
Jihye, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked that it was close to town the best stuff and it was big my room was great clean just need bigger parking
