Book a Top Mareretu Motel

"We had an overnight stay and loved the experience. It is not very far from the beach and basic amenities. Amazing views and lovely host. Overall, a wonderful stay on our short getaway from Auckland."

"The bach was well stocked and well laid out. The location on the estuary was incredible and the use of kayaks was a highlight."

"We had another wonderful stay here. Amazing spot. We will definitely be back."

"Excellent stay"

"The Bach is as promised, close to an absolutely gorgeous beach, accessed directly from a small greenway. It’s a cute little older house but quite well maintained and very cozy and comfortable. Everything we needed and more was available for our use. Even in slightly wet weather we didn’t regret this stay one bit, and could have stayed longer very happily.The local market and basic needs are just a short drive or a fifteen minute walk away.Carrie and John were responsive to all of our questions and more than happy to share advice and knowledge.By all means we would book this little Bach again. It was modest but complete and the location and hosts were beyond wonderful."

"Property is set on a farmlet so it is very quiet, and you can hear the moreporks at night. It is an older house but is warm and has a great view off the balcony."

"Thank you for looking after us so well. We loved the place and the services. Many thanks for your hospitality."

"Spent 2 nights at the lodge and it was exactly what we needed to get away from the busyness of Auckland.Property is very clean, tidy and bigger than pictured!! "

"Not enough wine glasses for 8 pax, we bought 4 and left in cupboard to share. Coffee machine does not have the correct basket in coffee holder to brew the coffee. coffee grinds were very hard to get out to make next one which made a hell of a mess. We wasted a lot of the coffee. If you put the correct basket in it will make a nice coffee."
