From the moment I stepped into the office, I knew this Motel would be great. The owner was so lovely - I couldn't seem to get my key to open the door and she came straight to help me. The room, including bathroom, was extremely clean, it was warm, cozy and it had a spa bath, which was an added bonus.
The owner was friendly every time I saw her.
I stay in a lot of Motels and other accommodation and this was definitely one of the best - and the price was better than most Motels!
Thanks!

This is the second time I've stayed here. The rooms are a great size and there's ample room to spread out. We stayed a bit longer this time and made use of the (free!) laundry facilities. The staff are just delightful - the women at the front desk and the women making up the rooms were really helpful and accommodating, lovely with my daughter.

Fantastic service, from all staffing made the stay close to perfect. We stayed one night and went tramping for three days, on our return, the bag they were holding for us, was already in our room waiting, without being asked! Exceptional attention to detail!

Lovely spot and easy to get to and from town, restaurants and the Burt Munro rally. Motel owner kindly dropped us off at a venue which was appreciated as the weather was not kind.

The best time to visit Tiwai Point is during the summer months, from November to April, for optimal weather and wildlife viewing.
During this period, the weather is generally warmer and more settled, making it ideal for exploring the area. You'll find the widest array of birds, including various seabirds, and the chance to spot Hector's dolphins playing in the Foveaux Strait is higher. The longer daylight hours also allow for more time to enjoy the natural surroundings.
For those interested in birdwatching, especially to see the unique population of Little Blue Penguins, late spring to early autumn (November to March) is particularly good. The penguins are more active during these months as they return to their burrows at dusk.
Families will find the summer months most convenient due to school holidays and the pleasant conditions for outdoor activities.
