5 minute walk to beach
Friendly service, high levels of cleanliness and great little kitchenette. 5 minute walk to beach and around 20-30 minute walk into town centre. If you're a light sleeper, would recommend ear plugs as walls between units thin/not sound-proof. Not a fancy motel but had everything we needed for our stay.

The room was tidy enough, but the wall heater broke and the replacement was extremely average. As noted by another reviewer, the room had a notice that all dishes must be washed or face a $50 penalty - not ideal in the time of Covid.

Expectation to wash your own dishes
The motel until was OK, nothing wrong, but was quite old. Check-in staff was very friendly and helpful. We were surprised at the sign in the kitchen saying if you don't wash your own dishes you will be charged $50. I have stayed at many motels all around NZ and have never seen such a sign. I have even been told by cleaning staff at other motels not to bother washing my dishes as for hygiene reasons they have to clean everything again anyway. We decided to rewash everything before eating on plates as we couldn't be sure the previous guests will have washed the plates well, especially in the current COVID climate. The price was quite high for the quality in my opinion - we stayed in another motel in Picton the next night, the room was bigger, much more modern and very clean for $10 cheaper.

The chap who checked us in was lovely. The room is appalling; threadbare carpet at threshold, electrical tape holding electric towel rail wiring together, an odd screening to the main bedroom, mouldy everything everywhere in the bathroom. If we had arrived at this motel 40 years ago on a family holiday we as teenagers would have kicked up a fuss about it. We got up early to leave our third world motel room behind

The place was discussing. In my opinion it would not rate as a Backpacks let alone a Motel. It is a bad reflection on our Country to advertise these premises as they would be extremely disappointing for any Turist on arrival.
