Avoid

Posted 26 Jan 2024 on Hotels
Avoid! Place was run down and dirty especially the kitchen with all the utensils etc dirty and flies everywhere. Had to check in at the motel next door for our keys but not informed of this in advance. It seems like a place with seasonal workers living long term and not in good conditions. This place needs to decide if it’s for local workforce or tourists because it needs a higher standard for tourism.

Interesting, funky setting, with a Maori morae (or facsimile) on the grounds. Good internet, nice to have pool access. Useful to have access to the full kitchen and meet other travelers, although we preferred to have a private room for 3.

Not great value for the money

Posted 28 Sep 2023 on Hotels
Fantastic receptionist, but confusing co-management with hotel next door. We had a "triple" room with a shared kitchen / living area. Shared areas were OK, but room was poorly maintained and a bit dingy.

Bed was comfy, common area was great. Only downside is probally the shower pressure and crumbs on the bench upon arrival. Other than that we enjoyed our stay

Hi Pranita, Thank you for your review. We did let know the team about the water pressure, and hopefully it will work better now. We're sorry about the crumbs on the bench, however I hope we're talking about an exterior bench... We'll be happy to welcome you again anytime you're up here. Kind regards

Checked in late due to working overtime, quick phone call to the office, she gladly checked me in, glad to see someone with a friendly personality after a long day. Very courteous and helpful. Happy to stay here every time I'm in Kaitaia Nga mihi to all the staff there Mace
