An older style cabin but very comfortable and in a great position, near the beach. Easy to walk to the river walk, Pancake Rocks and the Hotel.

The room was nice and spacious, and the location just steps from the waterfront was nice. Note that the beach begins a few hundred meters further down, at the motel it is just a sea wall.

Great location by the beach and near Pancake Rocks.
Payment and key collection at nearby tarvan. Which wasn't mentioned in the booking.

A disappointing stay
We stayed for one night in a studio. Whilst the unit had most of the things you would need and was clean, it appeared very tired and dated.
The WiFi connection was virtually non existent, which meant that we couldn't actually watch the smart TV. Staff warned us about this at check in, so one has to ask why nothing has been done about it.
We would certainly not stay there again.

Best Sunset in New Zealand
You have to book in at the hotel 400 meters down the road. Cabin we had fine for the two of us and faced west overlooking the ocean giving us fantastic sunsets.
The downside is that it’s situated nearly 50 kilometres from the neatest store. Only the hotel is near for dinner but is a bit expensive and limited choice. Truman trail,River walk and the Pancake Rocks are not to be missed..

Room with Urine Stench
There is a light stanch of urine on the fabric inside the room. Internet connection was laggy and got disconnected often.
