Lovely apartment.

Lovely little place in super quiet location. Nicely laid out little apartment with separate bedroom and bathroom from living area. A small bedside table or shelf might be an idea to save reaching down to the floor to turn the alarm clock off on your phone. Fantastic hosts that dished us up some slices of their own cake as they felt sorry for us dining on microwave meals. Top stuff!

Overall this unit was nice and spacey, it was clean, but there was some areas that could have a little more attention, there was no table for you to sit a cup of tea on in front of sofa, also only one bedside table, the linen and blankets very nice, and comfortable bed. the location is a little bit further out of town, but is close to a pub for meals and drinks, also a little shop that also has a bar and simple meals. The view from the room is great looking straight onto the waters. I would stay again but not sure if the rate we paid $190.00 a night was a fare rate.

A good base for exploring the Banks Peninsula

Check in very easy and friendly. The room was well prepared and very clean. The essentials were all there. The rooms are a little tired but perfectly acceptable. The information booklet with the room was very helpful. The view from the bedroom and main room windows is superb. Would happily stay there again.

Brilliant stay in a beautiful location

Immediately was made to feel very welcome and the hotel team were incredibly helpful in helping to adjust some plans. The room itself is fantastic, with excellent views on to the seafront. Easy to find, easy to park, beautiful scenery, incredibly helpful host, couldn’t ask for more. Very highly recommended.

The motel seems to be organized for summer not winter, and we've stayed there in summer and enjoyed it. But in winter it is very cold, with inadequate heating and poor light. By modern standards it's not a good experience.
