Good, clean, handy to town centre & beach. Facilities were adequate for our 1 night stay. Only criticism is the pull-out sofa bed, pretty old and some broken springs - not a comfortable sleep for my daughter. Other beds were good. Amazing bathroom ☺️

We have stayed many times and love the position and comfort. Friendly and helpful staff. There was a problem with our door making a strange sound which turned out to be caused by the wind. However the manageress upgraded us to a King Room so it didn't keep us awake! Very much appreciated! Will definitely be back!

Comfortable, modern rooms (everything appears nearly new) situated just off the wonderful Orewa beach and walking distance of the beach front centre and shops. I would highly recommend to independent travellers with a car.

I thought it was a nice motel to stay, was only there for a nigh.t, room was really clean but it had a weird smell, but still nice and clean. The next time i book i would like to try the sun facing rooms or upstairs as it was a bit cold and dark where we stayed, the lady at reception was also very nice and i like that you opened your door with the last 4 digits of your phone number, Thanks WAVE, appreciated our one night stay
