We loved our stay! There were several activities for the kids including a trampoline, play ground, and games room. It’s right next to a gorgeous beach. We had a bbq area right outside our room which was great. Our cabin was small but had everything we needed. Would definitely love to come back!

We arrived late, it was dark. Great communication but when we got the key it was a little hard to follow the map as the area wasnt lit up that well and the signage was poor. When we got inside there were a few bugs 🐛. I went to boil the jug to make a bottle for my infant but the jug was really dirty. The sink couldnt see if it was hot or cold, could only get one element to work. Unable to connect to the wifi following the instructions. Not able to discuss with staff due to us arriving so late. Its very picturesque when we woke in the morning. I do wish we could have stayed longer.

Great location in Karikari with small beach across the street. Small playground on site for kids and a games room which we didn’t use. Good value motel with mix of rooms and camper sites. Functional, not posh.

It's a great little place but disappointing as there was a problem with the TV and it's very windy and unpleasant outside, so we are stuck in the cabin and there is not even music to listen to. They only fixed the problem the next day and it was still not working properly, even then.
