We spend 2 days there - the owners are great! Thanks again for making our stay so nice! We arrived there very tired and had a warm welcome. We enjoyed the spa a lot! Unfortunately, the weather was too cold to use the pool. It is located very close to the CB, which we liked a lot.

We were a group of seven and stayed in two units. We had a fantastic time and have no complaints. Great parking, great pool, great spa - awesome hosts. Darroch and Natalie made us feel very welcome and always popped over after our day activities to see what and where we had been. We really enjoyed our stay there and... More

A group of us have been staying in this motel over the last 5 years as we travel up from Auckland for the Kerikeri half marathon each year - a lovely 3 day weekend before Xmas. The new owners have really tidied the place up and in talking to them they have great plans for more improvements as time and... More

1960's style hotel but well maintained. Peaceful location by the kauri forest. The owners are very welcoming. The spa was a lovely free extra.

Nice motel and welcoming hosts. Close to main shopping in a beautiful part of NZ . Rooms comfortable and well serviced. Came for a wedding in the town and the motel was perfect for the couple of days

The kids had lots of fun with the pool and the spa and it was great there was some space to run about down the bottom of the motel. Would definately stay again and... More

This is an old motel, but very well maintained and with everything you'd need. The beds were comfortable, and the apartment (two bedroom) was reasonably large. The owners were very pleasant and friendly. We used the communal jacuzzi, which did horrible things to our eyes, but which was lovely and clean. The swimming pool had a few leaves, courtesy of...

This is an older motel but cleanliness and service well make up for that. We had car trouble when there and the owners could not have been more helpfull, They drove us to serveral places to get a rental and then again to return it. They also comforted our driver. The full breakfast was great and the sausages were the... More

Very friendly staff, who gave us advice which we took, as to a reasonably priced meal at a restaurant. The extra touches in the rooms made a difference, e.g. a portable cooling fan, ironing board, electric blanket, iron, ironing board. Very clean and well appointed. Nice bush setting but close to cbd. Nice cooked breakfast delivered, quite filling.
