Needed a place to stay travelling down from whangārei (from 5pm). Found this, booked online, and they were happy to be there past their 9pm normal checkin time (we arrived 9.20). Everything was clean, shower was great. Good place to stay. Would recommend if you need some place basic, functional

The rooms were very hot. We slept with our windows open to mitigate this and although there was a languid ceiling fan it would have been appreciated to have something more to circulate the air.

The host was very helpful when I had queries. The room was warm, lovely towels, great pressure in the shower, comfortable bed and spacious. My only disappointment was that there was only Sky available, no "regular" tv channels unfortunately. Overall I'd recommend this motel :)

Very spacious room for myself and 3 kids. However thought the main bed would atleast have legs and be up off the ground, not sitting on the ground. Otherwise was a good stay.
