Wanted to like the Kiwi Motel, but ended up being a case of “putting lipstick on a pig” so to speak. Just because you paint everything white, add beach design details and make it look good for the socials, doesn’t make it worth almost $500/night. The bed in room 1 was soft, squeaky and the duvet cover had a blood stain on it. The pool was 3/4 full and surrounding area looked like it was minimally maintained.

The property and facilities were top notch. Very warm and inviting with lots of space for a small hotel. Special shout out to Melisa and Veronica. Melisa was the manager and Veronica ran the the pool bar. Veronica made us feel so welcome and treated us like family. Thanks so much for everything. We will absolutely see you again.

This motel was very conveniently located close to the Grand Bend strip. There was a plaza across the street that had an LCBO, Shoppers, and Sobeys that we could walk to. The staff were pleasant but the service wasn’t great. The Queen rooms were very small, and the layout was difficult to manoeuvre with luggage. Our room was very dirty and the air conditioning didn’t work very well. We had to asked the front desk to fix it at least 3 times. The pool was broken for most of our stay and we stayed 3 nights. Overall, it’s very well decorated but I would skip this one.

Loved the Kiwi!

We loved the Kiwi! Perfectly located, easy walk to grand bend beach. Super clean, cute pool - a mini "miami beach" vibe with sweet umbrellas and neon signs. Family friendly, walkable to grocery store. Highly recommend.

The vibe was cute and relaxed when we got there. Upon check in, the room cleanliness wasn't the greatest. There was hair on the bed and clumps of it under the bed. We also had to signal that we were missing towels and then wait for fresh towels to be cleaned. Also, we were provided a towel as a door mat as the one for our unit was hanging over the banister and wasn't even clean. Lastly, the door itself to the unit wouldn't close properly without stamming it into the door jam. The overall space was a cute and kitchy vibe but was grossly overpriced for the vibe it's trying to create. Was disappointed for all the tiktok hype for this cute little place.

I booked two nights but I had to leave a day early because my spouse ended up in the hospital. It was a lovely stay but cut short unexpectedly. There was nothing I could do to get money back for the second day which was unfortunate and the only reason my stay was “okay.” Otherwise the pool was great and staff was very lovely.

We loved this cute motel right in grand bend ! It was super close to the main shopping and restaurants. It’s so cute! My only downfall is that it’s on a road that is sort of busy and next to some buildings that just doesn’t make it feel as quaint and quiet as you’d expect. Other than that, it’s wonderful!

Intro to Grand Bend

A very clean modern room and washroom. Just a tad tight to get past end of bed under the mounted TV. Lovely property - lots of thought with the relaxed conversation and fire pit areas.

The kiwi is an amazing experience and resort feeling with amenities close to all the convenient locations in Grand Bend and amazing beaches which you don't even need to visit because pool and staff are amazing. Service is impeccable friendly welcome staff will mix you up delicious drinks by the pool or in their Queen little bar inside.... The rooms are adorable with a boutique feel..... Absolutely a pleasure staying at the kiwi can't wait to visit again

Staff was great , rooms were nice and clean. Very close to everything in town. All walking distance pretty much. ( im not much of a walker). Had smart TV’s so you could watch what you want your room. Pool and hot tub were nice. Only thing missing was somewhere to hang out and drink/relax in the rain. Maybe like a gazebo or fill in the roofs on patios so they can stay dry.
