Great Motel in Whakatane
We stayed at this motel for 2 nights over the xmas period. The managers/hosts are an absolutely lovely couple, who are friendly, courteous, informative, (the man there made us laugh over milk...) funny and most importantly a very professional mannerism. Hosts are great! The accomodation quarters are so comfortable, clean, spacious, awesome to stay here! We totally enjoyed our relaxing time here and would recommend to all. The bathroom is so spacious and clean. The bed oh my goodness its ultra comfortable with crisp clean sheets. I like my beds at accomodations to have that crispiness in the sheets then I know they are super clean and fresh. I/We loved it here and will come back again for sure!!! Thank you One88 Motel.

Its situated by a potentially busy road but you dont hear the traffic. It was quiet because of the double glazing. We were well taken care of. Staff were very helpful. Staff explained how different things in the room worked which was a awesome touch. Our room was clean, warm and spacious. Easy access to the fast food places and town and the beach was between 5 -10 mins away. We would definetly recommend this motel.

Good but customer service needs a makeover.
The accommodation itself looked great however the reception staff l, their customer service could use some real work we were expecting to be greeted with smiles or something like that but it almost felt as if we were a nuisance to the place and it felt like this right up until checkout. It ruined the stay for us completely and we would never stay again.

We are pleased that you enjoyed the Motel.Regarding the service however, you rang and asked for an early check in, which due to it being a long weekend and the Motel being extremely busy with preparing the rooms to be ready, we were not able to do, you then turned up early anyhow even though we said not to arrive at that time and we then had to juggle rooms to get you in to "keep the peace". When you arrived your friends were throwing around a football, which we kindly requested that they stop, as it was getting very close to windows and other cars, however they kept doing this. On the day before departure you rang requesting a late checkout and again due to how busy we are we unfortunately were not able to provide for you. We are sorry you didn't enjoy the service however we tried to come to the party for you however sometimes it is challenging to do this with the occupancy we run at.

Great place to stay in Whakatane
We received a warm welcome and were escorted to our room and all the facilities explained. The one bed apartment was very clean and well laid out. It had everything we needed for our stay. Walkable to a lot of trails and the river as well as the coast. Car parking on site was safe and convenient. There is some road noise but that is to be expected due to location and did not impact our stay. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops in walking distance.

Best place we stayed in New Zealand so far. The check in was top notch, personable, informative and nothing we’ve experienced before. The room was spacious, extremely clean, well put together and super cozy and comfortable. We loved the bed, the bathroom and the kiwi products for skin and hair. They even offer fresh milk for your coffees and tees. We were impressed all around. Thanks Malcolm and Liz for your kiwi hospitality, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Matt & Jakob
