Trip to New Zealand

Every pleasant place to stay easy to find and not to far away from the nightlife. Staff very helpful and nothing is to much trouble. Would stay again if in the area but hopefully longer next time. Two nights was not long enough. A++++++

Great location, staff are lovely. The only problem we had was the heat in the room. The room did have two fans however all that did was move the hot air around. Would suggest proper air conditioning. But other wise the room was fantastic. Lots of room for 5 of us.

Great stay only 3 Min walk to the beach.

Thank you for the great stay. Room quite roomy and great with the full fridge with freezer and full size oven. Single beds were very comfy, but found the Queen bed so soft and uncomfortable. But overall really enjoyed our stay and it was only a 3min walk to the beach via the beach access walkway. Reasonably quite too and a small back patio on Villa #7, with a outside rinse off shower for after the beach. Will definitely come back here again.

The manager was pleasant and helpful enough. Appreciated information about where to find places. However, no cleaning was done and no linen changed during our two day stay at the motel. Also, the bed making was poor and cleanliness in the bathroom especially was below average.
