Te Arai hotel rooms a the Independent

"Good"

"Easy to find, quite and safe "

"Convenient location. Comfortable. Limited kitchen so assumed that you would use restaurant for all meals. Front desk not attended so had to wait until someone came past. Wifi connection continually dropped out. "

"This place really isn’t my vibe. Tries to be upscale but misses my mark of user friendly, Gave up after 10 minutes trying to figure out the TV remote - kitchen area has a microwave but received a notice saying I couldn’t cook food. Weirdest bathroom - all one big open area (shower, toilet, sink) - sink was too small with no countertop - half the room floods when taking a shower so had to use an ECO friendly towel to dry area around toilet. And on and on. Somebody probably received an award...

"Even though it was an older property unit was immaculate. Host was really nice. Loved the position. High on a hill with awesome sea views. Host was really nice. Very easy to stay and leave. Will definitely stay again if the need arises."

"I liked the building and had I more time I would have enjoyed the swimming pool. "

"Shouted the hubby one night away without the kids. Only an hour away from where we live. Amazing view, so nice & peaceful. Only downfall was the driveway to the place was narrow & we could not see upcoming vehicles approaching around the windy roads. The meals were overpriced a three course dinner (small portions) was $118 & breakfast was a-lot more. Otherwise overall a nice short getaway."

"Very friendly people run this motel and enjoyed my stay, I recommend a stay here if you are in this area .A visit to the east beach was excellent also recommended. But this motel is out of town but close enough, probably better than ones in town."
