A very good place for nice stay. Everything was fine. Unfortunately there were a bunch of ants in the room which we could handle. The manager was a helpful and friendly guy. Very relaxed. Anything we had was solved asap. We recommend this place.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The room was big and it had everything I needed for the night. The space was mostly clean but there we’re definitely places that were missed. I did not see a member of staff until I left the next day and saw housekeeping from a distance. To check in I had to find my name on a list and let myself into the room- the door was wide open. The check in isn’t really an issue but I did have a couple of issues with the bath and there was no one to speak to. The jacuzzi bath that I paid extra for did not work. There was a contact number but I have an international phone and did not want to be charged a fortune to let them know. I checked reception a few times but there was never anyone there.

This little motel is tucked away in a non-busy part of Whitianga so it’s very quiet with personal service. We loved the little patio. Sofa bed was actually very comfortable. Would definitely recommend
