Beautiful apartments, very well equipped. Laundry facilities for guests (that were free) We requested breakfast, which was brought to the room. Absolutely lovely. The ladies couldn’t do enough for you. I left some earrings and the lady posted them to an address where I was going so I could pick them up. Really enjoyed it here, and highly recommend it.

Couldn’t fault it.

We stayed in the penthouse suite and couldn’t fault it. Had views of the sea, lots of space and the bed was very comfortable. The apartment had great facilities, including a large spa and was in excellent condition. There were free laundry facilities and on-site parking. The staff were very helpful and amicable. One of the best places we stayed during our month on the North Island.

The motel was wonderful. The parking area is tight but it works good. The staff was awesome, showing us the room and explaining the features of the room. And the next morning she remembered me by first name.
