Overall, a nice stay. The room was clean and tidy, and everything we needed to cook and use was provided. The amenities were good such as the hot tub was really nice, and although the pool wasn’t the cleanest, it was still okay. The ladies at reception were super friendly and lovely, which made the experience much better. However, the customer service I received over the phone when booking wasn’t great and came across as quite rude, which was disappointing and made the journey there a bit stressful. Thankfully, the in-person staff were completely different. Aside from that, the motel itself is nice and comfortable.

Room was very clean and had all the amenities you need. Check in & out went smoothing. They were able to accommodate our late check in & communicate well. Parking right out front of your unit & the pool nice & close. The location is central Kaitaia so not hard to find anything! I would go back 🙂
