When undertaking a "roadie" like we are, one experiences many different standards, styles & prices of motel, but strewth at $NZ220 a night for this place it's ridiculously overpriced ! Yes, it's clean, yes the room's got space, yes we slept OK....but heck it's very old style & needs a total revamp. The bathroom area in room 10 was incredibly small - even had separate hot & cold taps - that's old style! . Plus no view from the room of the lovely Hokianga River 50m away! . On the plus side the location's great & the lady at check in was lovely & welcoming!

Quaint little hotel room with beach across street. Had a small deck with tropical plants surrounding us. Lady who checked us in was fantastic - we were running a tad late (6:30) but she was waiting for us and told us to head immediately to fish and chip stand as it was almost closing time. Made it with only minutes to spare.
