6/10 Good

Hope the chef isn't too busy.
This is a great location, set back from the beachfront wall. The property was adequate but a little tired. The bed looked a bit lumpy but we actually slept well. Biggest disappointment was the chef at the linked restaurant/bar being unable to cook for us because she had a booking for 14 due in half an hour and they took priority. We felt it was badly handled and they could have offered for us to come back later. We would have happily sat with a drink and waited. Bar staff were unresponsive to the situation. There was nowhere else to go so we had to cobble something together ourselves. It was a bit of a let down.

A disappointing stay
We stayed for one night in a studio. Whilst the unit had most of the things you would need and was clean, it appeared very tired and dated. The WiFi connection was virtually non existent, which meant that we couldn't actually watch the smart TV. Staff warned us about this at check in, so one has to ask why nothing has been done about it. We would certainly not stay there again.

6/10 Good

Was a lovely place and the scenery was great, however there was so much old accumulated dust under the rugs, couches, beds etc with our children sneezing the entire time we were there. The place needs a good vacuum and mop. In hotter months I would suggest more than just one small fan, the fan was also covered in dust.

Overall it’s good and location is the draw card. Could have been a bit cleaner in side, dusting etc. Otherwise great. Note a cabin we had at the only pub in town before this accommodation was woeful, dirty, lights not working terrible bed and useless shower so beware, and we paid close to the same price! The pub handle the key collection and booking for the motel.

The hotel was wonderful and close to the area attractions such as punakaiki pancake rocks. The view of the sunset across the ocean was surreal.

Room with Urine Stench
There is a light stanch of urine on the fabric inside the room. Internet connection was laggy and got disconnected often.

The room was nice and spacious, and the location just steps from the waterfront was nice. Note that the beach begins a few hundred meters further down, at the motel it is just a sea wall.
