This was one of the better motels we have stayed at. We stayed 8 nights visiting family. It was very convenient to the motorway, just across from the beach and near toJackson streets many Op shops. The unit had everything we needed- a good shower, a comfy bed and clean towels daily. We had some washing done for us reasonably priced. It was collected and returned to us dry same day. We would stay here again.

Aspects of the room not maintained and run down. No heating in bathroom, it was like a fridge the night/morning we were there. Overall OK for a bed and shower for one night. Very good location on the scenic Petone foreshore and a short walk to Jackson Street. We enjoyed walking the neighbour and taking in the historic buildings and facades.

When i arrived i found the expedia website had changed my search criteria from 3 adults to 2 adults. I showed the staff member my search criteria from my phone which was in my history. I therefore had to pay an additional 40.00. I selected the motel because of the reviews and the price. I probably wouldnt have selected that motel as i could have got cheaper one.

Basic but very clean and tidy accomodation. Good service when checking in and free on site car parking is great. Just a walk over the road to the beach, and a walk down the street to great restaurants, cafes and shops.
