I stayed in the big apartment upstairs with Seaview. So beautiful and comfortable and large Everything was so comfortable and the view amazing. It was very cold outside but the apartment gets all day sun and was toasty warm. Views of Mount beach, Mauao Mountain and the Papamoa Beach Hills. So gorgeous!! ORB restaurant you can see from the balcony. It’s a good place to eat and BYO Pity the spa was out of order on my stay and I wasn’t notified beforehand

Very handy to a great restaurant (OBR), and some shops just down the road.

Small motel close to the beach

This hotel has recently changed ownership. It is a small establishment with just a few apartments. They are roomy and well-appointed with essentials and full kitchens. The staff emailed us and stayed up late when we did not arrive as expected and held on to our son's toy when he lost it in the bedding. The friendly staff make the difference between the many other local motel offerings. Please note check in is not until 10pm as listed.
