Nothing
It was close and handy to beach and short walk to market and cafes
The tea and coffee weren't top up we had three people in our room and stayed 2 nights
The location is perfect and the owner gave us an option of rooms which is always nice.
We liked it all just time for a little upgrade/paint. We have stayed a few time now and just don’t understand if the rooms accolade three people why on earth is there never three hooks to hang towels in a bathroom. A very cheap easy fix.
clean and tidy rooms
not applicable
Plenty of room
Driveway
Spacious, nice big shower. Kids were upstairs so had their own space
Sound travels so you could hear people coming back to their rooms late at night but once I was asleep it was fine. Its a very tight squeeze if you're trying to shut the toilet door so we just left that open and closed the main bathroom door instead
Location was good. Had the bed arrangement we wanted
Noisy from in the room, no noise protection between rooms. Really run down, chipped furniture etc. definitely not a 4 star as advertised
Location
Heat pump was not working flat batteries
Good location Good size unit
Not enough off street packing..needed to park on the road Was dusty in the upstairs bedroom
Warm and helpful welcome. Real milk provided. Larger than expected apartment. Warm and sunny. Comfortable beds. Hot shower and great water pressure. Kitchen, dining, lounge and balcony space to enjoy. Later checkout so we could have a slow start.
Residual cooking smells quickly removed by opening windows to air.
Very close to the beach, clean, well stocked, enough beds for a family, lovely staff.
Auf 2 Ebenen zwei Schlafzimmer, modern und schön, sauber und sehr ansprechend designed. Tolle Dusche

Bed was comfortable, room was tidy and the good location.
This was a fabulous place to stay - clean, tidy, it provided everything we needed, and the Host was very kind - even asked if I needed help with luggage or anything else. Top hospitality!
The staff are always super friendly, twice ive been there and had to check in early and both times they had made sure the rooms were ready. Outstanding service. We will be staying there everytime we go to Kapiti, which is a few times a year.
Nothing
The location was great, nice and quiet and good value for money.
The lady at reception was very welcoming when we arrived
Everything was good, just what we needed
Very handy to beach shops,beds,very comfortable nice and quite good parking it was only one night had a beautiful sleep up early for Wakaama Races. Just what we needed .
Happy with motel
Clean and comfortable
Nothing
Felt like a good spot/room
Needed more blankets (we did use the spare one) - yes we could have asked but we ended up just using the heat pump. There seems to be no fan in the bathroom so when you open the door all the steam fills the room so then it gets damp. Yes the window was open but does not do the job.
size of room
microwave didn't work
Lovely, friendly hosts. Will come back again
Close proximity to the ocean
Parking wasn’t great
Location Comfortable
Bathroom abit dated.
The bed was comfortable and the unit was very clean
Needs a modern revamp. Very out dated decor, bathroom & kitchenette
Very quiet even with the road noise outside. Warm and comfy. We were given an upgrade due to double booking. Frank and Zoe very hospitable.
Quiet, clean, great polite , lovely, friendly, host. Awesome customer service of front counter. Parking a dream. Modern TV, appliances, chattels. Warm, dry and comfy
Have no faults
Good location and parking. Room was nice, clean and comfortable. Good sized fridge freezer
Needed a shelf in the bathroom to accommodate our toiletries. Great shower pressure but the taps were a bit loose
Clean and tidy, nice beds, great location
Thin walls
Good location, helpful staff
Paper thin walls that were so loud at midnight! The noise of the fridge, the taps next door, even the microwave next door! You could hear everything! Beds were ok but pillows not great!
Very friendly check in. Room was sunny and warm. Fresh towels daily and helpful cleaning staff. Very handy to the beach with views of Kapiti Island.
Bardzo blisko do plaży, cichy pokój, wygodne łóżka. Miła obsługa
Within walking distance to beach and food outlets. Quiet, warm and refreshing.
Good onsite parking and accessible facilities for elderly family.
Nice handy location. Easy to Find. Friendly staff and everything you need in room.
Bathroom smelt like faeces every time we walked in. still had pistachio shells behind the chairs from the last guest. Under the beds need a good vacuum should be done after every guest.
Good
Easy walking distance to town. Large and spacious room.
Decor quite dated.
Room was a good size and comfortable after a long drive. Motel is close to shops and the beach so no need to get back into the car.
Great location and service
Room is very dated. Shower over the bath would inly suit some people. It was clean but some areas around the bath need repairing
We had to catch an early ferry and the location was perfect for this and for access to the shops and restaurants
No soundproofing. The people in the room above us were ‘very active’ during the night and woke us at 4am with their activities. It sounded very aerobic!
Amazing service, friendly and helpful team! Great location and large room with super comfy bed. I highly recommend
The locality was great...view of Kapiti Island and beautiful beach to take an evening stroll. Very handy to shops.
Very small room for three with luggage.
It was a flying visit, our room serviced our needs.
Beds were a little hard but I am a fussy sleeper.
fantastic location. Very comfy clean spacious room. Great value for money.
Didn't have breakfast, location good
Unit tired,shower did not work properly.
Very friendly staff and very clean facilities. The bed was also extremely comfortable (and also clean). Excellent value you the money.
N/A
Sehr nettes Personal, tolle Lage, wenige Minuten zum Strand
Wasseramaturen, werden wohl aber demnächst neu gemacht
I booked mostly for the location, but the motel was really good. The owner was super helpful and friendly. I booked for access to the golf course, but it's close to the beach and shops also.
Nothing not to like.
