It appeared this motel is being used for social housing. I was surprised a dog rushed at me from a motel room, many car movements at night.

Unit was clean and tidy. Motel was positioned very close to the ocean allowing good exercise options of walking/running/swimming. On a clear day White Island was clearly visible with it's steaming volcano. Dining options were limited in the close proximity of the motel with a 10km trip back to Whakatane for quality meals.

Really enjoyed our stay. Definitely needed the extra heater for the chilly winter time. Had trouble with tv but we're shown how. Just the old brain couldn't figure out the techy stuff.

Having travelled the country extensively and stayed in umpteen motels of all standards over the years, this was adequate. The staff was pleasant to deal with. Furniture is comfortable. The WiFi was sketchy in several areas of the unit - best by the kitchen bench. Shower drain is very slow. Otherwise, it was a pleasant stay.

Suited our purpose. Was only average accommodation but that was reflected in cheaper booking fees. Ant infectation and blocked shower drain was a shame but solved later. However very quiet road position and easy walk to beach.
