Great place to stay when visiting family in Waikanae. Easy motorway access. Walking distance to the Waikanae shops and the suburban train station. Not ultra modern but everything you need and comfy beds.

Fantastic.
Our host was charming and helpful, the room was spotless and bed very comfortable. Plenty of variety and supplies of coffee, tea, etc. Plenty of towels, face cloths and toiletries. Older motel but was very well maintained. Close to railway line but no trains between 10.30pm and 6.55am, so had a really good nights sleep. Would definitely stay again.

The location was great and it lived up to its name as a gateway to Kapiti. The facilites were excellent and close to an excellent pizza and pasta place. The motel was clean, warm and the bed really good to sleep in.
