"Nice place. Everything you need. Nice bloke. "

"Very cosy"

"Friendly staff, easy parking for utes"

"I’ve stayed six or seven times. Ōtaki breaks a long drive before driving onto the ferry. It’s spotlessly clean. The room rate is reasonable and this little motel has everything I could need. The patio opens onto a reserve."

"As ever, my stay at this amazing cabin did not disappoint, from the attention to detail in the cleanliness, to the filled wood basket and already laid fire, which was even more appreciated as it was full on raining. The view never tires, nor does having a bath outside in the rain, listening to a thunderstorm. Rain, sun, storms and clouds don’t make a difference when you have a few nights here to unwind, relax, retune to yourself and just ‘be’. Going to book before they close for winter."

"We were blown away by the beauty of the grounds and the excellent staff and service here. Highly recommend if you need a place to stay in Upper Hutt!"

"This large property is home away from home, with a well stocked kitchen, a very full linen cupboard and bathrooms with all the lotions and potions you may need. Added to this a fully fenced section for the dog and log fire and this place was perfect. Highly recommended, for the location (a very short walk to the beach) and a wonderful host who was very responsive."
