Location and cleanliness
No mood lights on main living area - very bright light otherwise
6.0 / 10.0
Well located friendly helpful staff
Lack of self catering - I was surprised at the limited utensils, crockery etc. When I reread the booking info I could see that this was specified in the information so should have known.
7.0 / 10.0
Just a nice walk across the road to the sea.
We couldn't make breakfast as there was no toaster, cooker or cutlery.
Quite pricey for the lack of amenities, it is close to eateries though

Fantastic location, over the road from the beach and an easy walk to town.
Would like a couple of chairs outside motel unit to enable a sit in the sun etc.

Clean, cozy and situated at an excellent location
Only 1 washroom but not a big setback if you are able to plan trips to the washroom well with your group.

Great location, right on the beach, easy to find and park. Very good apartment, just as described. Pleasant walk to the shops and restaurants. Very helpful staff.
8.0 / 10.0
So close to the beach you can listen to the waves crashing as you fall asleep.
A portable cooktop / hot plate would be a valuable addition, as just having a single microwave as the cooking facilities in a ‘2 bedroom apartment’ for a family is a bit rough.

G8 central location
I touch small and maybe a heater in the bathroom would be nice in winter
7.0 / 10.0
Wonderful location
Comfortable bed
An amazing shower!
Would like to have had blinds on the bedroom window so that during daylight you didn't have to have the curtains drawn
5.0 / 10.0
No facilities for making any breakfast only had jug to make coffee
The shower/bathroom no where to put clothes while showering no where to put toilet bag shower was good but bathroom facilities poor
3.0 / 10.0
No cooking facilities, no toaster, no plates, no cutlery. Apparently not insured for use of a toaster! should not be described as a motel.

Location
Unit was not the same as the one shown in the picture. Place smelt damp. Shower flooded, soaking the lounge carpet. Staff did their best to soak up with towels. Could have been cleaner, a few lost property items under furniture in the rooms.
4.0 / 10.0
Good location, adequate laundry facilities, but not much else.
Old motel which looks like it is scheduled for demolition and replacement by a new build. No on-site management, need to contact the next door property. Studio had no sink for dishes so had to use the bathroom basin! Bed was comfortable but otherwise facilities well below average despite relatively high pricing. We spent three weeks touring the South Island and this motel was easily the worst we experienced on our trip, but definitely not the cheapest!

7.0 / 10.0
Stayed in a superb one bed apt., with large lounge/dining/kitchen area as well as outdoor seating area overlooking the sea.
Couldn’t fault our accommodation here.
8.0 / 10.0
Location was fabulous just 10 minutes walk along the sea front for a variety of options for eating and drinking.
Contactless check in, hassle free.
Plenty of room for your bags etc
Very small television.
Lot of running water sound
Fridge vibrated - had to move the second tray out (fan is out of balance causing this)
5.0 / 10.0
the bed was very comfortable
the fridge froze half our food so we had to throw it out. then when I turned it down the second night it defrosted my frozens in the freezer, we lost a lot of food
8.0 / 10.0
Handy to town centre and beach front.
No dislikes.
6.0 / 10.0
No breakfast. Great location. Glad it wasn’t hot as difficult to ventilate. Very basic wouldn’t pay anymore.
A toaster would have been helpful
