We actually stayed in one of the cheaper parts of the motel, because none others were available, but found it excellent. The owner is super friendly and helpful. He asked what we were interested in and gave us all the advice that we needed. He even offered to drive us to the start of the cliff top walk, with a... More

Great location, just a short drive to town (could walk but would take approx 25mins). Motel was in a quiet sunny location, short walk to the waterfront, able to park right outside our room. Large, clean and comfortable room. No restriction on wi-fi - best connection we had whilst in NZ. Only negative was on checking out our bill was... More

We were trying to minimise costs and stayed in a number of different motels around the South Island on our 2 week holiday - and this was easily one of the best. The room was spacious and clean, with free and fast wifi. The location was perfect for us given that we had our own car, being slightly out of... More

I stayed here recently with my partner and her parents. We found the motel itself to be very nice and clean, and as it is just around the headline it is a short walk to spectacular views across to the mountains. It is also a short drive from the seal colony around the headland. We very much enjoyed our stay... More

Having said that the road seemed quiet especially so at night. The motels are on slight hill so have great views of the... More

Car parking at the back door. Room was designed for disability access and contained QB, SB table & chairs and settee. Cannot recall cooking facilities but kitchen was... More

Very clean motel rooms, comfortable bed and everything you'd need for a few days. Location is good with a bub and a bar two minutes away

Only stayed one night but the motel had everything that we needed - so highly recommended for a base. Try the Green Dolphin Cafe next door for dinner but you may need to book as its probably the most popular in town.

A couple of kilometres out of town, but no problem as loads of free parking. Small outside space, with no privacy. Some nets at the windows would have been good....
