The view was wonderful. The owner was welcoming.
Not super clean. But we needed a pet friendly place for this trip.

Yes sure,
I would highly recommend this motel to all my whanau and friends. This view and these sunrises brought me such uplifting happiness and the reset that I absolutely needed. Sheila the owner is incredibly stunning in hospitality, comfort and privacy. A lot of respect for the place. I am not really an early morning person and while staying here. I was up before the sun on both days I stayed. Appreciate the nature. Had native birds come so close to the room, eating from trees right outside the room. Was absolutely beautiful
I have very high cleaning standards. So if I was being picky stuff wasn't wiped down to my satisfactory, that could just be me (toilet seat i and behind grooves ect)
Also a musty smell in the air. I think its just old lino or tiles needing replacing. But if the toilet door left open while out during the day while the rest of the room closed. Smelt musty.

Nice view. Tidy and cosy just bit old. Highly recommend if you bring dogs. My dogs also enjoyed the stay lying on the deck and watching the coastal view.
Internet was not really well. I had to use my phone data (lucky I had unlimited

The view was very very nice from the corner studio.
It was very old and needed updating in many ways. The wood deck was broken and nails sticking up. The furniture was old and needs to replaced. It was t fully cleaned. There was crumbs under appliances when moved and dust on chairs and in bathroom dome. It needs a deep clean.
