Room was nice and tidy, could do with a fan/air circulation in the bathroom. My boys enjoyed their swim while there. TV in the room should have been more in the middle maybe attached to the wall on a bracket. Not much to watch on TV due to not many channels to access. But overall very nice, comfortable and friendly staff.

This is a really nice place but let down badly by the initial bedroom temp.. it was freezing! Hotel supplied a 2 bar fan heater… it took 4 hrs to bring room up to a comfortable temp.
Mussel entree was a dried up mess. Beer battered main not much better. Breakfast was excellent

Thank you for my wonderful stay. I will most certainly return when visiting New Plymouth again. The only recommendation, I have is I feel the bathrooms require an update as it's relatively older. Shower pressure is fantastic. All staff were absolutely super! Very helpful & any request was warmly welcomed & actioned.

Good size room with proper cooking facilities, 4 hot plates & full size oven. Only thing we weren’t keen on was the high breakfast bar with bar stools. These were not practical for our age & mobility to get on to.

This property was wonderful, accommodating a small family plus 2 dogs. First time using a pet friendly motel and this place was excellent. Close and handy to everything! Only comment I could make was the shower/bath could use a deep clean, other than that - excellent! 👍
