Very small squashed dated room and decor, couldnt sit on old couch thats cushions were so old and squashed with minimal padding left in them because they were pushed right up to the little coffe table that was pushed up to the tv, loft floor creaked loudly everytime someone walks up there, stairs and rail to loft unsafe and wobbly, unclean room, bathroom and floors. Gave 1 toilet roll to last 2 days for a family of 7, took teatowels on 2nd day and didnt replace them, minimal kitchen utensils, no storage space/cupboard to put youre food in. Windows not sealed properly so whistling noise through out the room from the wind all night.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Our recent stay at the motel had its ups and downs. On the bright side, the location is fantastic, just a stone's throw from the beach with a beautiful sea breeze and view. However, there were some issues that did dampen our experience. The room had an unpleasant smell that my son couldn't tolerate. The facilities seemed very dated, like stepping back into the 80s, and could definitely use a refresh. The price was on the higher end, and we felt it didn't quite match the quality offered. The upper deck with the double bed was a bit precarious, being close to the railing, and didn't feel entirely safe to sleep on. Besides, the fixed showerhead made it tricky for kids to shower comfortably. Overall, while there were some enjoyable aspects, I wouldn't recommend this motel at its current price.

The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful with all my requests. After checking in to my unit on arrival a bit early (kindly thanks) I needed a bit of help with my bags which seemed to be no problem. Exhausted from my travels I sat on the deck and took in the view. I was 30 mtrs from the waters edge. I looked out at the people walking along the parade, the cars slowly passing and the stream of seacraft entering and exiting the channel, Waiheke ferry, Downtown City ferry, launches, sail boats and foils. What a delightful view Mt Wellington and One Tree Hill in the background. Realising I could sit there for hours I went and checked in for an additional night. The unit itself was quirky American style architecture with sharp angles and corners and likely from the 80's so a little tired now but there do appear to be newer units built on the rise behind. Water a little cold for me this early in the season so I did not venture in but the pool certainly looked inviting. Great food 2 minutes walk away with Cafes and the Chinese takeaways were not dissapointing at all. Over all very gratyeful for a wonderful three day stay and I will be back for sure!! Thank you everyone for all your help!!
