This stay had a little of everything from a plumbing issue and issues with the TV reception to a fantastic location and absolutely wonderful meals (dinner and breakfast). At the time we visited, the owners were away and there was a substitute manager. She tried to correct the plumbing issue without success.

The location was great allowing us nice walks along the beach before dinner and again before breakfast. Both walks allowed my lovely wife to add to her collection of shells. If you want peace and quiet, this is a great place.

We definitely would return here!

It was further east than I expected. We didn't arrive til rght on dusk but unpacked and were very comfortable for the night. Enjoyed a lovely walk along the beach before heading east after breakfast. One small problem with the shower plumbing not draining but host let us shower upstairs in her home.

This area was one of the most scenic and least crowded places we visited. We loved it. However, there are few tourist facilities. Take your food and other necessities with you. The unit was not luxurious, but it was very clean and well furnished.

Let Jan cook for you as much as she will! She’s a better cook than you are. We ate at some of NZ’s nicest restaurants, and the best meal we had was the one she served.

this motel was our first stop on a trip around the east cape, the setting is amazing, right near the beach and very tranquil; nice clean accomodation and a warm welcome by the owner.
