Liked: Cleanliness
Pretty run down. But in a good location short walk to shops and walk up bluff hill. The door locks are flimsy with a push button and no chain to put across. As a woman travelling on my own I did not feel safe staying here. Internet didn’t work in my room. Couldn’t get the smart tv to work. The remote was falling apart. Poor insulation I could hear every footstep and door opening from the room above me. The room was very spacious and clean. The pool is filthy, no one used it during my 2 day stay. The staff were nice but mostly unavailable.
Room clean, comfortable, tv worked well, loved that they provided milk, location good. A lot of road noise traffic early am.

Room was OK but quite dark inside, although staff very helpful. Area outside v noisy (Marine Parade) and windows not well insulated. Quite a bit of noise from other guests too...Location very convenient for town. Area immediately around the motel was a little rundown although much better either side. Good views of the sea from the room.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room cleanliness was not perfect, the shower leaked onto the lino between the shower and the spa bath.
The door handle came of on the inside of the bathroom door on a number occasions.
Food crumbs stuck along the top seal of the fridge door.
On a positive note the room was serviced daily and the towels changed and the motel is well located
.
Yes the room felt neglected. When you advertise kitchen facilities available , you forgot to mention cleaning dishes in the bathroom sink next to the toilet. Not the most hygienic way to wash the utensils.
The carpet was dirty had big stains everywhere, the toilet seat was peeling and the hairdryer was broken unsafe to use wires hanging out. Cleaning ladies were nice tough job to do when the whole Motel needs a make over. Would not recommend!!
Excellent location had a good view of the sea . Be aware it’s on a fairly busy road so you do get some noise . Room was clean bedding and towels pristinely white very good . Shower was good water always hot . Just behind the motel is a huge warehouse if you like shopping there . Within easy walking distance to the main shopping centre and the aquarium . If you get chance go to the Faraday museum it’s amazing and only costs $12.00 .

Green was old and tired, limited space, but well use, noisy with limited supplies.
Yes the room was clean , comfortable, had a great view of the sea. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The motel was close to beach and town . Great stay
Great location, right across from the water with a great view.
Overall the room was good. Best shower I've had in New Zealand thus far.

Clean spacious room and balcony, well stocked kitchen made it possible to prepare a hot nutritious breakfast. Great views of the ocean and sunrise, easy walk into town and the Coastal Walkway.
