Great location, walkable to shoreline. Easy parking and check in

We always have a great stay at Sunset Motel. Check in is always a breeze with self check in. Diane (manager) is super lovely, always keen for a chat and helps out if we ever need anything. All the staff are great, very respectful of privacy especially during turnover service. Location is brilliant, clear view to the water if you are keen on fishing and need to check what’s happening. Reserve right next door if you bring your pup for exercise. Just a great property to relax or get away.

We were blessed to find a half pint of milk in the frig which we used for breakfast cereal. This was no mistake left from a previous occupant because this is the second time we experienced this nice touch of hospitality. Also they washed our almost week's clothes and refused payment Finally it is right on the Firth of Thames north of Thames. So it is a very quiet place to rest by the found with gentle breezes blowing. A beautiful spot in my opinion. The room was quite comfortable with separate living room. What more could you want?

Our hosts only communicated by email, so we did not meet them during our stay. They left detailed instructions about the accommodation & the area. The room was large, clean, the kitchen was well equipped. Grill available. The property is across from the bay. Pretty sunsets. We enjoyed the deck, along with local ducks who came by for a visit. Grocery stores close by. We used the motel as a base to explore the Coromandels Peninsula. Worked well.Good stay.
