Good location just out of town. Beach out front of the motel with lovely views of the sunset over the beach. Comfortable bed, electric blanket, good shower pressure, was able to watch the rugby game on tv because there was Sky Sport and movies in the room. Host had turned heat pump on prior to visit and text instructions on key.

We always have a great stay at Sunset Motel. Check in is always a breeze with self check in. Diane (manager) is super lovely, always keen for a chat and helps out if we ever need anything. All the staff are great, very respectful of privacy especially during turnover service. Location is brilliant, clear view to the water if you are keen on fishing and need to check what’s happening. Reserve right next door if you bring your pup for exercise. Just a great property to relax or get away.

This little gem gives you a great view of the ocean. The accomodations are super clean, roomy with a cute little kitchenette! The beds are super comfy! Air conditioning after. Hot day of hiking was so appreciated! The owners were delightful and ready to fix any issues that Came up! Loved this little find!

We were blessed to find a half pint of milk in the frig which we used for breakfast cereal. This was no mistake left from a previous occupant because this is the second time we experienced this nice touch of hospitality. Also they washed our almost week's clothes and refused payment Finally it is right on the Firth of Thames north of Thames. So it is a very quiet place to rest by the found with gentle breezes blowing. A beautiful spot in my opinion. The room was quite comfortable with separate living room. What more could you want?

Would not use again. Window latches missing and the ones there were unusable. Lots of coming and going from access to beach area made you feel insecure. Drapes on windows not clipped correctly, tv reception was terrible shower not much better. No reception never saw anyone and the drive into the unit was like driving the bronks. They seem to accommodate for permanent occupancy.

Our hosts only communicated by email, so we did not meet them during our stay. They left detailed instructions about the accommodation & the area. The room was large, clean, the kitchen was well equipped. Grill available. The property is across from the bay. Pretty sunsets. We enjoyed the deck, along with local ducks who came by for a visit. Grocery stores close by. We used the motel as a base to explore the Coromandels Peninsula. Worked well.Good stay.

The Sunset Motel is a bit dated, but the room was clean, quiet & comfortable. You check yourself in. The room key & a booklet of clear information about the motel & the area are left on the table. We never met our hosts. The kitchen was basic, but had most of what we needed. No coffee pot, but there was a French press available. Thames is a good sized town, with a grocery store close by. We bought steaks to grill on the bbq. It’s nice sitting on the deck watching the sun go down. Lots of birds in the area. It’s a bit of a drive to get to the tourist areas, such as Cathedral Cove & Hot Sand Beach. But it’s nice to get back to the quiet of the motel. It looks like the motel is up for sale. There is an area of free camping along the bay next to the motel. There were only a few camper vans while we were there. But I can imagine it gets busier as the warmer weather approaches.
