Great Location - Decor was a bit dated. Stippled ceiling and no extraction fans in the bathrooms. But clean and tidy. and well presented for it's age.
A fabulous place for a weekend away.. we felt like we were in our own wee paradise. The gardens and pool made it very private and like a tropical island. The Bruce Mason centre was so close we could walk to our event. Will be back.
Great the location as walkable to everything you need&want yet relatively quiet area. Clean and plenty of space for a couple. It’s an old motel building so let’s not expect anything super shiny. Much appreciate the lovely hospitality. :)
Great location near the beach and Takapuna Cafe and walking distance to the shopping area.
The motel grounds are peaceful and serene. The room was comfortable and tastefully decorated.
A great place to relax and unwind. A real gem.

All staff were superb and always tried to be helpful.
Great location and would happily return!
Thank you James and Janice!
Wow - I stayed here decades ago and it is still every bit as great - such a beautiful property with lovely gardens and pool so close to the beach and Takapuna dining options. This is definitely a gem of a property.
This is a gorgeous little place tucked nicely off The Prominad in Takapuna. It has an old-school, classic charm to it. It still has a key to unlock the room, which I loved. The room was a perfect size, extremely clean, and well kept. I would recommend this to anyone.
The place was nice and clean. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Parking was very tight , recommend having a smaller car. There was no AC in the rooms , no safe either but had a safe in the office .
Overall the area was really nice and convenient.
