Excellent motel

Excellent stop on a tour of Coromandel, with really friendly staff . Property was a really comfortable motel with added extras of bicycles and kayaks to use free of charge. Directly opposite small beach, at the beginning of Mount Paku summit trail and near a lovely cafe for breakfast, The Old Mill Cafe and smart restaurant, The Beach Club for one of best meals of the holiday. Really recommend this place for a short stay.
