How exceptional the cleanliness of the property was. And the attention to decor and bedding was also exceptional. Well done on this. Also, we were very impressed with Nick and your desire to assist us with anything. You went out of your way to provide my husband with another room temporarily to watch Sky TV. Thank you. There is nothing to fault with the property itself at all. We would stay there again and recommend it.

Probably the view - there was some oceanview, however, the surf club is an eyesore in front of the property. There is a little bit of traffic noise as well.

I absolutely loved my stay! My room was incredibly spacious, and the bed was unbelievably comfortable. The highlight for me was the large, relaxing tub—perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine. The shower was fantastic, with amazing water pressure that made washing my hair a breeze. The small kitchen was a great bonus, equipped with plenty of extras to make my stay even more convenient. The location was lovely—just a short walk to plenty of shops and restaurants, plus you can catch a cool ocean breeze directly across the street. Check in was beyond easy and everyone was extremely kind. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for a single night but should have stayed longer. The place is lovely and the staff are great. We were in Room 7 which is the honeymoon suite. Sadly, some idiot had broken the spa bath shortly before our stay but the room is really nice. Fridge didn’t work but the lady on reception offered us a room swap or use of another fridge. We chose the latter option as we likes our room so much. Couldn’t ask for more from the staff. Great base to explore Orewa and the surrounding area. The Shakespeare Reserve is a hidden gem.

We loved everything. Location (right across the road to the Surf Club where our daughter took lessons, 5 min walk to centre); kitchenette had everything we needed a normal sized fridge; beds were so comfy and luxurious; airconditioning; great layout with the spare room of 2 singles and storage, very spacious main room; excellent modern furnishings; Modern bathroom and strong shower; Sky channels; Rm 1 was great with parking right by our door and a small view of the water. I also appreciated the sustainability effort of collecting and cleaning our rubbish bin with no plastic liner; and offering change of linen and towels when needed. The lady (sorry I forgot to ask her name) was lovely and welcoming. We had such a great time here that we'd love to come back.

Nothing

Good location,clean well maintained. The staff & owners were lovely & helpful & nothing was too much trouble. Easy parking, close to the beach & town & restaurants . Would recommend & definitely use again.

Nothing really would have been good to have a place for coffee,breakfast,small meals but they are working on that & it will be a big bonus to the hotel.

Best location you could ask for if you want to go to Orewa beach, because the surf lifesaving club + cafe + beach facilities are all directly opposite this motel. The room was very clean, modern and comfortable. It even had a decent aircon/heat pump unit, which is always a nice surprise. During the day we could hear a little bit of traffic sound but at night it was silent, so sleeping was easy. The staff were all very warm and welcoming.

Our fridge wasn't on when we arrived, but we didn't notice until nighttime. By this time our complimentary milk was probably spoiled, though we didn't risk it. Just a minor thing!

The room was beautifully decorated, lots of attention to detail, stylish and comfortable. We stayed in a bath suite room though didn’t use the bath as weather very hot. It was very spacious throughout. The bed was super comfy with lovely pillows. The location was perfect, beach just over the road and shops, bars and restaurants easy walking distance.

The wifi was a bit temperamental. I thought the room could do with a separate set of drawers / shelves for our belongings as it had plenty of space for it. I’m nit picking though, it was a fabulous room!

This is a beautifully kept property. Tucked away on a beachside street. New furnishings, lush carpet and huge TV with Netflix for viewing. We only stayed one night. Property owners lovely. Leather couch freshly cleaned and polished. Plenty pf supplies to dine in or out. Pizza place near by was delicious. Not water views but right on the beach. Parking tight but right in front. Nice dark and quiet room

No heating in kids room. But didn’t really matter we just left the door open and it was fine.

We were greeted by very friendly staff who were obviously going to be very helpful, which they were. The accommodation was very spacious and clean, had all the facilities you would expect, including nice comfy bed. And the location was excellent, we were within easy walking distance of the town centre with it's supermarkets, restaurants and bars. The beach was just across the road, just the job!

Nothing!

Great furniture and fittings. Very tastefully decorated and presented. Location opposite the beach is excellent. The bed and linens were spotless and comfortable. The shower pressure is excellent. The bathtub was deep and nice to soak in.

There was a very persistent smell of sewage/stagnant water coming from one of the drains - either the shower, toilet or bathtub. We had to air the bathroom every time. There is a short step town from the main level in the bathroom but because the pattern on the floor is the same, I fell twice. There was yellow grip tape at one time but it has worn out and now looks the same colour as the floor. The restaurant across the road is convenient but be aware that if you want to consume alcohol, you must be a member of the surf lifesaving club ( which you can join for a small fee )
