If you want a very modern motel room then this place probably isn't for you. But - if you want a really COOL retro motel to unwind at- then this place IS for you. The unit is very roomy. The kitchen might be small but EVERYTHING you need is there. Yep...It's very dated... going back to the 1950's and 60's - but it is cool, man. You can sit out front in the easy chairs and look straight out at the Waitangi peninsula and straight on out to sea. Jimmy is very laid back but not slack. He was polite and helpful. So this place about location, location, location plus relaxation and value for money. Yep... room to stretch out and enjoy your holiday....highly recommended. Oh and sky TV too which is a bonus on wet days!!
