Super Lage, bester Blick auf das Meer, super netter Empfang bei der Rezeption. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt.
Das Haus ist einwenig in die Jahre gekommen, was aber für mich den Charme ausgemacht hat.

Beautiful location, great staff, tidy and comfortable
A little run down but can see room upgrades in progress that look amazing.

Location perfect, stunning right on the beach.
The building is not level, paintwork, interior woodwork, bathroom, kitchen like from the 1970s. So old and crusty. The price does not reflect the motel facilities just the location and view of the beach. 1 star quality.
Had to sleep at the other end of the bed because it sloped downwards.

As a company we love San Marino. This is our home away from home when we work in the area.
Lovely view, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.
The water pressure was a little weak. Could not access the free wi-fi. (only this time)

4.5 / 5.0
John and Tanya were fantastic hosts, genuinely warm and welcoming and going the extra mile to make sure we had a great stay. Waking up right on the beach and having an early morning swim, life doesn't get better. Extra plus for being pet friendly!
The room is a little dated, but exceptionally clean and was serviced daily even though we weren't expecting it. Certainly didn't detract from the charm.

Back for our 3rd visit to this stunning location right on one of New Zealand’s most beautiful beaches. So good to unwind, relax & enjoy barefoot walks on the beach.
The motel is old style kiwiana, the rooms are clean, bright & spacious with comfortable beds and the hospitality is amazing, Tania & John are so welcoming and helpful, we’ll be back.

Location and access to the beach and beautiful views
The building is sloping away, which affected the bed. Perhaps putting some blocks under the bed would be a good idea for comfort.

we loved everything about this stay! the location, the character of the building, and the Canadian gentleman who checked us in and gave us great advice (apologies I didn’t get his name!)
clean and comfortable, great price with the most amazing views of sunset right on our own piece of balcony. we only wish we were staying longer
nothing, couldn’t fault it!

Utensils and some kitchen gear pretty ineffectual.suggest people bring own bread knife and cutlery.
