Our stay at Motu was absolutely great! Alan is exceptionally lovely and willing to offer any help he can with supplies, activities & general advice around sight seeing. The North side of the Island is very quiet Alan's place makes a great base for heading up to Whangapoua beach or Port Fitzroy for supplieswhilst only being 45 mins drive from Claris. Considering there are no mains services on the island there was plenty of power and water; as well as a well outfitted kitchen for cooking meals(there aren't that many places to eat out on the Island!).
Overall a great place to stay and would highly recommend.
