very clean, an extremely nice town, great beach, lots of excellent restaurants, very friendly hosts
The rooms have been modernised and have a fully tiled bathroom with rain shower and good toiletries. Coffee maker with pods . Still a motel but good value for money and a Woolworths supermarket 2 minutes walk away .
Clean and comfortable. I was concerned about paint fume smell though but overall great location and room.

Very quick check in, friendly staff. The rooms are recently renovated - clean and comfortable. The bathroom is excellent.
One suggestion, I had some work to do and the desk could have done with a desk lamp.
The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you could possibly need and was easily walkable to restaurants and activities. Definitely on our list to stay the next time we’re in the area!
Loved our stay here very clean and only short distance to town

the rooms were really good. new and clean. all the essentials are provided. outdoors was a bit underwhelming, could use a picnic table. was a short walk to lake pupeke, the pumphouse theatre, takapuna beach, takapuna swimming pools leisure centre, golf driving range and a supermarket...
Remodelled rooms, spacious, well thought out. Beds comfy, close to everything needed for a short stay in Takapuna.
Kitchenette with toaster, kettle, fridge.
Will stay again on my next trip. Don’t be fooled by the exterior.
