A very nice hotel located close to Tahunanui Beach. Offered fresh milk with the stay for coffee./tea. Room was well appointed, close to some good food options and was quiet overnight.

One of the worst rooms i have stayed there in, carpet disgusting, no proper sink, having to use an extension by the microwave and tv, very mis fitted room and shower room. They should not use an excuse to say they are renovating, not worth the money paid....even with discount

Spacious room, hot shower, great beds, yes its a bit dated, bathroom fan would help reduce condensation but we were warm, dry and very comfortable during a very wet cold weekend.

We liked that it was an affordable/ warm room perfect for hubby and me. Didnt like the fact that if you didnt have your own water you have to use the tap in bathroom for a drink/ dishes etc...

Really nice motel and the staff were really nice, however there was no restriction on the use of the very noisy laundry rooms. It would be much better if the use of these items was restricted to reasonable hours, or that the equipment was replaced with much less noisy ones.
