Stayed here in the winter. It was very nice and quiet. The hot tub can be used year round and is very nice. The rooms are very nice and tidy as well. Staff were nice and checkin was relatively easy. Would recommend for a quiet get away in the winter!

The motel has great decor and amenities. It’s also far enough away from the Grand Bend strip that’s it’s not too busy or loud. It is overpriced for a motel.

Awesome spot, very clean and very nice and has great amenities like pool, hot tub, beach volleyball, etc. Only complaint I would make is that they close pool, hot tub, fire pit at the back and backyard too early.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Kiwi Motel! Everything was super cute and the staff were more than amazing. We had the sliders and Mediterranean flatbread and both were incredible. The kiwi salsa was also amazing. There was a 90s party happening on the weekend and the music was fantastic, so was the service from all of the staff. Everyone took such great care of us. We will definitely come back!
