"The place is quite easy to find. We met Pete up the driveway to the house. We found him very obliging, friendly and informative, great person. The property was even better than we imagined. the house was very clean, spacious, well furnished, all the amenities you could possibly need and amazing views. We absolutely loved our stay and it felt really homely. We didn't really want to leave and will recommend to other friends of ours."

"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."

"Exactly what we were after, peaceful while enjoying the sounds of nature to wind down from a busy few months. The nook was well equipped with necessities which made the stay really accommodating. Thank you for having us."

"A Tranquil Hideaway in the Bush – Perfect for Cyclists and Nature Lovers We had a fantastic stay at this unique property nestled in native bush, perched above the stunning Karangahake Gorge. The location is incredibly peaceful, with beautiful views and easy access to the local cycling trails — an ideal base for exploring the area. The accommodation itself was a brilliant mix of modern design and quirky timber touches, clearly crafted with care and creativity. The outdoor bath set amongst the trees was a standout — the perfect way to unwind after a day on the bike. Corrie, the host, was warm and helpful throughout our stay. It would have been lovely to meet her and the family in person, but everything was well communicated and thoughtfully arranged. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing, off-the-beaten-path getaway with comfort, character, and a real connection to nature. "
