My husband and I have traveled around New Zealand for six months and this was our favorite hotel! The location was perfect - close to the beach. Our hosts, Fiona and Barry Shearer, were wonderful! Fiona did everything possible to make our stay perfect. Our drive took longer than expected and she waited up for us. She even saved an... More

When we arrived we were so glad we had decided to stay for two nights. The owners were very welcoming and friendly and the premises were immaculate. Our beautiful sea front unit was clean, tidy and had everything we required including in the kitchen. Comfy bed with excellent quality linen made our stay just perfect. The beach was lovely and...

We traveled around new zealand and saw a lot of Motels/ Holidayparks/ Hotels but this was one of the best we stayed. Very friendly staff, next to the long lonley beach, a big terrace, the room was very clean and the kitchen... More

Stayed several nights, fantastic location right on the beach and great hosts. The grounds and units are maintained to a high standard and very clean. Great looking barbeque area -unfortunately we didn't get the time to use it. Loved the large king sized bed and high quality linen/bedding and large fluffy towels.

We had a birthday celebration with family and friends and the hosts Barry and Fiona made our time truly memorable with their friendly and helpful service. The units were VERY clean and we had a beachfront unit with the uninterrupted views of the Golden Bay. The units are very well equipped... More

An amazing place to stay and relax - we had a beachfront unit with direct access to the beach and waking up each morning to wonderful views was a highlight. The unit was immaculately clean and very well presented. We found the hosts Barry and Fiona to be very welcoming, they could not have done enough for us. Would fully... More

A really charming motel, with great detached units with a full sized kitchen. Our unit was spotless and well kept, if a little old fashioned in comparison with similarly priced places- but that was part of the charm. It was more like renting a bach than staying at a motel. Our unit had a big deck and there is free... More

This motel is located just next to a lovely beach in the Golden Bay. From our unit and our own patio we had a superb view of the beach an the sea. This was without question the best motel I stayed in New Zealand. The unit was spacious and equipped with a kitchen including a oven. Finally, the hosts were... More
