Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Pros: Convenient location for where I needed to be, pleasant owner, clean room, comfy bed, inexpensive.
Cons: Very dated, awful temperamental shower over tub, vertical blinds in need of repair, very narrow parks
We got an upstairs apartment with good privacy, deck off living room. Really liked the bed, medium. (not too hard, like some we have had, like sleeping on a plank).
Short walk to the beach which we really liked.
Was also great being able to bring our small pooch. We would highly recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
although the unit was quite old it was spotlessly clean and had lots of facilities for self-catering. very close to the beach.
We Just did not feel comfortable at all.. The unit as a whole, The Exterior needs a Refresh.
The unit had a stale smell to it, And bathroom needs work/maintenance.Toilet set nearly falling off And shower needed a damn good clean
Unit was clean and tidy. Motel was positioned very close to the ocean allowing good exercise options of walking/running/swimming. On a clear day White Island was clearly visible with it's steaming volcano.
Dining options were limited in the close proximity of the motel with a 10km trip back to Whakatane for quality meals.
We were very pleased to find accommodation that allowed our small dog. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. Good facilities and excellent shower pressure. Most of all the motel is in a quiet area only a short easy walk to the beautiful beach.
Really enjoyed our stay.
Definitely needed the extra heater for the chilly winter time.
Had trouble with tv but we're shown how. Just the old brain couldn't figure out the techy stuff.
Clean. Very comfortable beds. Close to the beach. Quiet with minimal traffic.
Basic motel but everything you needed, good value. Staff pleasant and polite
