"This was our favourite hotel during our 2 week trip. First, the location is fantastic and just a 5 min drive to the beach and shorter into town. Second, the rooms are fantastic! Everything was practical and well thought through. It was well ventilated and also had all the amenities we needed, plus everything was clean! Last, and what brought everything together is Phil and (I belive) his family who runs this place. He was friendly, accommodating, offered to help with our luggage, and even suggested to visit the wonderful park opposite the street. He even mentioned a free glow worm site but unfortunately we were unable to go for this. I would recommend this motel without reservation, especially if you need a pit stop before driving to Christchurch, though I wished we had stayed longer. Really love what Phil is doing with this place! "

"Not directly on beach as there is a privately owned grassy paddock between the units and the beach, but great beach access. Views are very good. Relaxed atmosphere in quiet natural surroundings. Woke up to birds and waves. Recommended."

"Separate building made for a mostly quiet night! Parking directly in front of the unit was convenient and the space was well thought out. Only annoyance was the ridiculously tiny sink in the bathroom! It’s made for ants. "

"Very comfortable bed and nice shower. We loved the patio with the view of the ocean. We would definitly stay there again."

"Lovely host, made us feel very welcome & at home. Cottage very clean & tidy, lots of lovely touches, flannel sheets, hot water bottles. So appreciated. Enjoyed the 195O’s retro furnishings, old records & player. Kitchen had a great selection of condiments, Enjoyed starting our day sitting outside in the sun with a plunger coffee & watching the Weka. Thanks so much for a great stay. will be back in Summer. "
