Check in great. But after that it was down hill. I think there is emergency housing at this motel which was not explained otherwise I would not have booked. Wouldn't recommend and won't be returning.

Very clean and tidy. I arrived early and was allowed to store my luggage in the office till the room was available. I was then directed to a cafe where I could get a lovely breakfast which was discounted. I would come back here.

Friendly helpful staff and super comfortable beds. However the TV kept failing which was annoying at night when we wanted to relax, and the curtain wasn’t wide enough to cover the ranch slider window. Great restaurants almost directly opposite. All in all was fine for a stopover in Kaitaia.

Good laundry facilities & bonus of a swimming pool & spa. Separate room for adults sleeping. A little outdated in apartment but functional. Would benefit from a clothes line on balcony or airer to dry swimming togs (eco friendlier).
