Waves Motel
We love that Waves Motel is just steps away from sandy beach of Orewa. Spacious motel with in-room spa. Motel 11 do had some issues with the spa plug n power switch which we had brought up to lady upon checkout. Will stay at Waves again as the location is great

Walton Park Motor Lodge
Bed felt really soft but was okay. Pillows a bit high and hard with no option of others. One of our rooms had no shower gel. Shower very hard but okay. Clean enough but certainly not spotless.

Riverside Matakana
Wonderful place close to Matakana. The cabin was large and definitely can sleep 6 people. Clean and tidy. Staff were helpful and friendly. The pool is rather on a small side but its heated so perfect for the kids and for a nice soak. Will definitely stay there again
