Liked: Cleanliness
The batch was spacious and had everything we need. It was clean but interior was definitely dated. We did like the location, close to bus stops, grocery stores and restaurants.
The owners were very accommodating. They checked me in a bit early and held my luggage and food until I could check into a different accommodation 400 metres away. They were so nice and accommodating.
Good location and comfortable room with small outdoor space with table and chairs. Well equipped kitchen. Convenient for the hop on/off explorer bus service.
The Staff were very obliging and helpful and was easy to check in after hours. Would stay again at this motel. Had an enjoyable stay in Waiheke. Thankyou

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room that we stayed in is bit out of date and needs some new things. But, on the other side location is very convenient and overall it is good value for money. This is our second stay in this motel, and it is very likely we will come again.
I liked the size of it and it has everything for self contained. But it was dirty bathroom, kitchen shelf’s were not cleaned floor in bathroom smelled like urine and stains everywhere.
Furniture had thick dust on it. The outside light shined through the glass door we couldn’t get to sleep very well. Kitchen were dirty, drawer were crumbs and in general dirty!
Sorry can’t recommend it.
It doesn’t take much to clean properly
Had everything stated but the property had started to date. The photos didn’t reflect the room we ended up with. It was clean and tidy and was adequate for what we needed. Only interaction with staff was at the end when they had started to clean the room before we had actually checked out (we had gone for breakfast).
The unit that we stayed in was perfectly clean with modern amenities. It is very close to a nearby shops and market. This was our first stay in this motel, and we will come back again. This motel is now on the top of our list for next visits to Waiheke.

Property is very Waiheke Island, casual and quiet. Surrounded by trees and bushes, reasonably well maintained but quite old.

Very dated, but clean. Can’t comment on service because never saw any staff, not even reception.
Had everything we needed except hair dryer.
