Extremely high standard of accommodation. Cleanliness unmatched, roomy bathroom with easy access shower and handy shelve to hold your toiletries…unlike others where nothing is available. Main room is huge with efficient heating and tidy kitchen as big as some 3 bdrm homes. Comfy as bed and plenty of storage space for your luggage and footwear. Great deck with easy ramp access for all ages out to your vehicle Not my first stay to at chalet’s of the AWA Motel and definitely won’t be my last 10/10

Spacious cabin, just outside town centre
I love the cabin! It was perfect for the both of us. We got to the motel after a nerve-wrecking 5 hour drive, mostly in the dark. As we pulled into the property, the receptionist just locked up the office. She greeted us, regardless of the time, and helped us to check-in. She was so lovely. She even left the lights of our cabin on for us so we could easily identify it. The cabin was so spacious for the 2 of us. We love the little orange tree outside the cabin and the parking space next to our cabin. I absolutely would recommend booking this place.

I enjoyed the location of this motel. It's across the road from Gibbos which is well known for its fish and chips. It's down the quieter part of town where you can hear the tuis sing and enjoy the ambience of the cliffs behind. Its so picturesque. The amenities could be a bit more modern. The staff are super friendly. The price per night is great. It was a nice quiet place to rejuvenate.

Centrally located close to beach and CBD. However, bed wasn't great as it sags in the middle, also there was an irritating ticking sound the whole night which kept us awake. However, would recommend the facility as it's neat & tidy and value for money.
