Good motel
Very nice spot and motel. Room was very spacious and modern. More attention needs to be given to cleaning, as rubbish behind a luggage rack in room and dust and dirt behind bed and bedside cabinets, sticky benches and still remnants of toothpaste in sink in bathroom. Tissues in room would also be nice as didn’t like that I had to blow nose on toilet paper. Based on price per night I would expect at least the tissues and cleaning to be spot on. Other than that it is a lovely motel with lovely host and would stay again.

A great location and the room was clean, but the condition of the place overall was a bit tired. The room that we had booked and paid for several weeks before, had not actually been allocated to us. We were offered a cheaper room instead, but have not as yet been refunded the difference in price.

It had pleasant surroundings and views and it was nice to sit bean bags or park like seating with a cold wine and nibbles with a marina views.

Great location and roomy rooms with very hospitable manager who welcomed us and treated us very well. Motel is right next to beach marina and three minutes from ferry to downtown Auckland so extremely convenient . Rooms have been recently upgraded so better than some reviews we read. Very easy for parking and with nice kitchen and bathroom.
