Perfect place to stay

From the time we arrived we were made to feel special, the accommodation was exceptional, the location was fantastic overlooking the Bay of Island. It is the place to stay being able to access all amenities easily. We would recommend this accommodation.

There is nothing to criticise. It is perfect on all respects, modern, centrally located to all amenities.

Close to restaurants and other amenities.

No laundry facilities inside the apartment. Because I booked through Booking.com I didn’t get a sea view apartment (though I have paid more).

WOW what a location. the beach was across the road. Easy walking distance into town for food sightseeing shops etc.

The traffic was a little noisy at times but just hooligans driving around.

Stunning views, great location.

Stayed here for one night 11th October. Great service at reception when we arrived, they knew who we were as soon as we stepped in. Great location, short walk to the shops and restaurants. Directly opposite the beach. Spectacular ocean views from the front units. We stayed in unit 11, upstairs and facing beach. Stunning views. Balcony from master bedroom and also from lounge. Fantastic little one bedroom unit with everything you need for one night or much longer stay. Kitchen has mini stove top (2 pots), 4 seater dining table and 2 seater couch (quite comfy) and 2 other lounge chairs. 2 tv's. Lovely bathroom with huge shower, plenty of hot water. Very tidy and super clean. Lovely white bed linen and fluffy white towels.

Uncomfortable firm bed. Pillows not feather.

We loved everything about this motel, from check in with Quinn, to Anita calling us soon after we left to advise we had left a piece of clothing behind. This never happens. Quinn provided lots of information about the must dos in the Bay of Islands and wish we could have stayed longer. The location was perfect as was our studio. Could not recommend highly enough and hope we get back at some time in the future.
