The cheerful greeting from Alistair set the tone for a great stay. Rooms clean and comfortable. Loved the fresh milk offered for the room to add to tea coffee supplies etc already provided in room Wi-Fi works well Pool is large and well maintained although it was too cool for our group to enjoy Several options suggested for local dining .we chose Indian spice and received excellent food and a discount by mentioning we were waters edge guests Breakfast was excellent and our vegetarian guests were catered for.We saw another group being offered gluten free choices. The older building doesn’t look great from outside but the rooms were spotless and well equipped both there and in the newer section Well done Alistair and family

We stayed for two nights, was cute little room with everything we needed, restaurant on site which we didn't try but always someone in there eating, host was great showing me how to use washing machine/dryer and said to see him if clothes weren't dry after hour (which they were) very warm room and comfortable bed, will stay again if we up that way. Also a must do is the Cape Reinga trip with Harrison's Cape Runner (a local family owned business) $50 per adult and free lunch. Kaitaia is a lovely place to travel to and stay 😊😊

Overall we really liked this place. The grounds are well-maintained and have nice little landscape/decor touches which was nice - the owners/managers obviously take pride in the property. The room was well-equipped for the price, e.g. with tea/coffee facilities and milk pots available, and complimentary toiletries. Shower was good. The beds were made beautifully. Great value for money (we paid $120 for four of us in a family room). We didn't check out the kitchen/common room facilities but assume these are well-equipped and looked after also. Location is right next to KFC, handy ;) Downsides were the TV didn't work even though the pilot light was on (tried both buttons on TV and the remote - remote's batteries were dead), and the heat pump was difficult to figure out/change settings, no instructions were provided for either. There were no extra blankets in the room and it got really cold, luckily there was a spare bed and we stole that blanket. We were only there for the night.

Margaret and Barry are excellent hosts. Upon arrival, she helped us sort out our Cape Reinga tour booking. That saved us a lot of unnecessary effort. Despite being an old motel, everything was clean and well maintained. Margaret was very helpful and made our stay really pleasant. We also met Barry after back from our Cape Reinga and had a great chat with him. I would gladly recommend anyone to stay there.
