Independent in Matakana Coast Wine Country

"Great parking. Nice clean room. Lovely food. We were a large group, so had a buffet which was exceptional. Lovely staff."

"Staff was great. Property is not in great shape. Standing fan was broken and filthy. Staff brought me another one."

"One of the best places we have ever stayed. Outstanding."

"My favourite motel. Lovely people, lovely views, good facilities. We come here every time, that’s how much we like it."

"Parking was safe. Room looked onto the parking area. It was not very private. You needed to keep the curtains closed. The shower area was not very clean."

"Room was adequate but small. Patio area for Blue Room was on walkway to the pool so no privacy and a bit noisy. Common areas and kitchen were very nice. Convenient and good location for walking to town."

"Communication from the host was great. The cottage was attractive and comfortable, with up-to-date amenities, and the location in the bush was unique."

"What a great little spot with an awesome pool. It wasn't super clear that the bach is right next door to the owners, but they were very welcoming and hospitable, and the visits from their dog and cat were a bonus! The bach is clean and tidy with everything you need for a stay with friends or family. "

"The room was perfectly clean, it was fine! The shower in the bathroom had cracked floor tiles which isn’t a good look. The hairdryer wouldn’t work and needed a new adapter which was supplied on request. We had difficulties with the tv which seemed to have to have the remote pointed at it from directly in front. However when we checked in, we were asked if we wanted to have breakfast, for $25.00 each. We said yes, and assumed that we were paying for a continental/ cooked breakfast. (There is no fruit option we discovered )I had already written that I had dietary restrictions as I’m a coeliac, however the only GFO option was the cooked option and so the bread was omitted! I queried he baked beans and just assumed the breakfast sausage was g/f. My mistake! Suffered for the next 30 hours. Would we go back? Not a chance! Also we were there for a wedding function, and apparently there was a 15% discount. But!! because my booking was from Expedia they wouldn’t honour it! Said we should have booked direct! "
