"Best motel with awesome hosts."

Everything, the room was comfortable and warm. The bedding was crisp and clean. Having a private outdoor area was a bonus. It met both myself and my partners needs. The hosts are very friendly and outgoing and made us very welcome. The area was quiet and peaceful. This would be our go to motel when we visit Waikanae. It was close to the shopping center and all the places we wanted to visit. Also very close to the train station.

There wasnt anything not to like.

Nice and clean, I'd 100 per cent stay again.

Probably a bit too close to the railway line for a few team members--I think proximity to the beach may be a favoured location for future accommodation in the area.
