Fantastic location, rooms, great service, right in the heart of town where access to ahops ad the main beach basically at your door step (10 min easy walk to beach)
Great place to stay. Good location. Quiet and safe with off road parking. Huge room with plenty of space. Friendly reception staff. Huge comfortable bed. Clean and well equipped accommodation. Very happy with our stay here.
Our second stay at this lovely motel, supporting family competing in the Whangamata Challenge. Very roomy 2 bedroom unit, upstairs overlooking the pool, spa and tennis court. Great facilities.
I'd like to say how friendly the staff were.
Would definitely stay here again and have recommended to others.
Just an overnight stay, location is great and motel itself is great
Only disappointment was we were on the bottom floor and had noisy neighbors upstairs thumping around most of the night
The staff were friendly and helpful. The place is just on the end of the roadway with all the bars coffee shops and shops and only across the road to a beach access, all very handy. The place was also very clean with plenty of beds and extra blankets Will definitely stay again
We decided at the last minute to add a detour to our trip and I'm so glad they had a room left; great facilities and on the main stretch where the restaurants, shops and beach are only a short walk. Owners are super friendly. Highly recommend.
This motel is right in town which is fantastic. The 2 bedroom place was clean and spacious. We were downstairs and there was quite a bit of noise from the people upstairs, which was annoying.
Highly recommend this lovely motel. Great customer service and beautiful grounds. We loved our room and really wish we had planned to stay longer. Thank you
Awesome accommodation option very conveniently located with easy walk to the centre of Whangamata. Well kept grounds and well maintained buildings. Warm, cost and quiet.
Lovely pool and tennis court. Very affordable for good sized rooms. Would be great for a family event with something for everyone. Staff very nice and amenable.
Property was lovely. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Pool was great and also spa. Check in was no fuss and easy. Grounds kept nice. Lovely cleaning staff. Negatives would be the noise if you are in a ground floor we had people talking and walking around above us 1am and 2am. And noise from pub out front but appart feom thay enjoyed our stay.

Great having a hot tub and pool Location was good ,easy walking to town,bars and restaurants
Unfortunately our room was next to the laundry: boiler house from which there was a bit of a hum
Despite advising of late check in we received no communication prior to arrival and had to contact out of number to be advised of our room number
I was in Whangamata for work. I took my elderly Mother with me. They accommodated an early check-in, at no extra cost. Dan and Grace (the Hosts) were fantastic! Friendly, helpful and did everything they could to look after and check on my Mother, while I was working. Awesome customer service, that was above and beyond the call of duty. 5 stars!!!
