Great views and beach front, heated pool.
Good proximity to beach, walkway and town.
Locks were very tricky to open when entering room. Old furniture and attention to detail needs updating such as, marks on carpets, seals have peeling glue on door frames, patch ups on spa bath, water damage on cupboard. Cleaning and dusting things like conservatory windows and lamp would give a cleaner appearance.
All in all a good stay which was convenient to beach and town.

A nice place to stay, great service
This motel is very nice and tidy, the room is clean and the kitchenette area has everything that is needed.
only a few minutes from the main township via car. have stayed here before and recommend it. We had a incident, not the motels fault, but they were kind enough to provide 2 x breakfast vouchers for a local cafe. They had no obligation to do this at all but their kind gesture was appreciated and reflects the great service we received. We'd recommend this motel and will stay again if we plan to head back to Whitianga

The location of this place was great, walking distance to shops and cafes, an easy stroll long the waterfront. The studio room we had was ideal for our needs, compact yet spacious. The sea views were mesmerising. Didn't hear or notice the traffic below. Friendly staff. Bed was a bit soft for me. No info in the room re working out tv, remotes etc, eventually managed to get into our netflix account. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks!

The room I stayed in was good as I could walk straight out of my room and into the pool. I took some photos of all the stains on the wall that made it look shabby. The sheets he uses on the bed were really noisy every time my husband or I moved we would wake up with the noise of the sheets they reminded me of hospital sheets it was so bad that I went and slept in the singe bed and then the next night my husband slept in the single bed.There is not that many car parks. I got the last car park but it was so tight I could not get out of the drivers side I had to get out the passenger side and then I scratched my self on all the trees as I had the last car park on the row of car parks. The reception area is always closed and locked you have to wait outside and ring the bell. I did make a late booking with them for an extra night and that was sorted for me so I could stay in the same room. I like the fact that I could walk across the road to a picnic table under a tree and have my lunch. The location is good. The pool and location and picnic table is what made the stay worthwhile. If it did not have these things then I would not stay there again.

One Night Only - but good impressions last
We stayed for one night as we going to the Lost Spring Spa. The room was upstairs and had an uninterrupted view across to the main beach. The room was large and spacious, we loved the couch and balcony area.
The service was excellent and the host was very welcoming. We're already planning our next stay in Whitianga and intend to stay at the Admiralty.
