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.

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.

It appeared this motel is being used for social housing. I was surprised a dog rushed at me from a motel room, many car movements at night.
