Guest Reviews

• Lee (9/5): -
• Melissa (7/5): Good for a night or 2. - Great location. Comfortable bed. Clean and tidy. Had what we needed. Pretty run down. Looks better in the photos. Lots of condensation. Needs a better shower curtain and extractor fan in the bathroom.
• Nikki (10/5): - A walk to main shopping center, right next to the beach, clean Ants ate our lollies
• eskrick (8/5): - Great location, sunny room with sea view and nice outdoor balcony, great spa bath, ample easy parking. 😀
• Fribbens (9/5): - Clean and tidy room, nice view, great location Nothing
• Terrianne (6/5): Clean and tidy, but very impersonal. - Perfect location for what we needed. No staff onsite between 6.00pm and 9.00am. We had a problem in our room that we could not get any help with - no emergency contact, phone went straight to voicemail. One of the numbers published in the information belonged to a former staff member. Unsatisfactory.
• Deborah (10/5): -
• foster (8/5): Booked for a relaxing couple of days on the beach at end of 3 week holiday. It met that expectation. - Most of property was fine, definitely needs fan over kitchen area.
• Kathleen (10/5): Would like to stay here again - Great location, nice and quiet
• David (6/5): - The sofa is very uncomfortable to sit on for any time period. Rooms are starting to look a little dated and tatty. Room was very dark and the light above the work space did not work.
• Al (8/5): -
• Hilary (9/5): Weekend getaway - Handy to Orewa, always stay here on our little weekends away from Whangarei. Right on the beach for that morning walk Forgot to ask for a room with the spa, my fault. Otherwise no problems
• Shaun (10/5): -
• Susan (6/5): - Very close to the beach and an easy walk to the shops, bars and restaurants The room was large and had a small kitchenette and a separate bedroom and bathroom The bed was large and comfortable Decor in the room was dated and although the bathroom was large, the spa bath had the shower in it and it was awkward to climb over the side of the bath
• Keith (10/5): - ease of check in and location
• Kuldeep kajal (6/5): -
• Madeleine (7/5): Nur für eine Nacht auf der Durchreise und dann mit Zimmer zum Parking, nicht zur Strasse - Die Lage ist schön am Strand und in Gehdistanz zum Zentrum. Grosses Zimmer mit Terasse. Das Bad ist alt und bräuchte eine Renovierung. Unser Zimmer war zur Strasse und wir haben die vorbeifahrenden Auto nachts gehört. Für den Jacuzzi bräuchte es einen Pamir, da dieser zu laut ist. So ist das Baden keine Entspannung.
• Sharon (8/5): -
• Dave Mac (8/5): Lovely seaside location. Well named! - Excellent location, though some rooms with no outlook. Sea side (and sea / wind noise) is good - if you like that. Plenty off street parking. V good laundry. Towel service daily. General interior a little 'tired'. Maybe one bed change in a 7 night stay. A small 'welcome pack' in the fridge is always nice. More than milk sachets.
• Robert (8/5): Enjoyable - Setting
• John (6/5): -
• Lynmaree (7/5): -
• joan (5/5): probably wont book there again - this motel is showing signs of needing a major update with facilities, particular upstairs, carpet and lobby very shabby,
• Andrea (9/5): Eine gepflegte und schön eingerichtete Unterkunft in perfekter Nähe zum Strand. - Sehr großzügiges, sauberes und gemütliches Appartement mit Meerblick. Freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter. Gerne wieder.
• Christine (7/5): Great location and price - location Unfortunately there were noisey guests; music to midnight then again at 7am.
• FURY361 (9/5): -
• Melanie (7/5): - Comfortable bed, great location from the beach, quite big for a studio and kitchenette is handy/good size. A bit tired looking, needs some paint and patch work.
• Annette Aroha (8/5): Excellent stay for a night traveling North - We only stayed one night and everything in our room was perfect. Good space, clean and tidy, quiet.
• Julie (6/5): staff were great it was easy to find and the room was large - each was close Room smelled stale when we arrived, like old smoke
• Joanne (7/5): -
• Darlene (10/5): we had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing stay here - Everything was great, location, room facilities - could not fault anything. In particular enjoyed the door access to the room - the lock code was great - no need to carry around keys or swipe cards. Overall we had a very enjoyable 3 days at Waves. no complaints at all
• Anže (8/5): -
• Nicky (10/5): -
• Steffen (8/5): Angenehme Unterkunft, aber strassenzugewande Seite vermeiden - Gute Betten, kleine Küche, sauberes Nad Viel Lärm seitens der Straße
• Jan (7/5): - Didn't have breakfast. Allgood.
• Chris (9/5): -
• Russell (8/5): Nice stay - Good sized rooms, comfortable and clean N/A
• Agnes (10/5): overall a great place to getaway, especially when u need a little break from a busy parenting life. - nice and private, overall good 👍 the sink tap nosal was loose but it was still in working condition
• Wilfred (10/5): - Nearness to sea, comfortable.
• Hanspeter (9/5): -
• bernadette (8/5): We will return, we enjoyed our stay. - Close to beach!
• Tony (6/5): Good location ideal for a short stay - this is a pretty good location. Very close to the beach you can just walk down and go for a swim. Very close to the restaurants. The motel is dated.. it’s a little rundown needs a bit of attention in places but it’s okay for a night or two but I think twice if I spend any longer than that. You are facing the main road so you do get a little bit of traffic noise but not much
• Gordon (10/5): -
• Ferreira (8/5): -
• Justine (7/5): -
• Edward (8/5): - Location

• Marc (10/5): -
• Nicky (10/5): -
• Kyle (9/5): -
• Martha Foss (8/5): comfortable room close to beach. - nice location, near beach- comfortable room- we ha the family room and it worked well for 4 of us. the front desk lady was nice could have nicer towels - they were thin- hallways and doors need painting
• Eberhard (9/5): -
• Choi (10/5): -
• Allison (8/5): - Short distance to beach and shops and cafes

• Billy (9/5): Great location and clean room - Location. Just off plane in Auckland and good 50 minute travel from there. Central location in Orewa. Small with clean tidy room
• John (8/5): -
• Kathryn (4/5): In need of redecorating and updating. Staff very pleasant polite and helpful - No breakfast provided but location excellent The situation of the room. Very dark as tucked below the outside stairs to the above units. Absolutely no privacy sitting outside . Everything was so tired and worn and needed updating and redecorating. Even the curtains had holes in.
• Sandra (8/5): Would stay again! Loved Orewa! - Great property, great location! One day we didn’t have H2O for a few hours (working on a plumbing issue), would have liked a heads-up vs a surprise.
• joan (7/5): Won’t stay there again, after staying there 3 times previously - Location Property is in need of maintenance Fridge faulty PowerPoint in bathroom faulty Ironing. Board broken Replacement also broken Passage way to room very dirty External steps dirty
• Husband (8/5): Our little get away. - The closeness to the centre but still far enough away not to be disturbed by any late night noise. The shower was in the bath tub, for older clientele like us this proved problematic.
• Michael (5/5): -
• Benjamin (10/5): - NIce person who checked us in...and very close to beach and fish and chip shops. Nothing...it was a perfect stay for one night.
• Aeron (8/5): -
• Branden (9/5): -
• Jill (4/5): You get what you pay for.. dissapointed.. - Location good, very close to the beach, but walking distance to the town centre, It was very clean..the shower was very good, large bathroom.. The unit is too small for two people, there was nowhere to put your case, the inside chairs were extremely hard to sit on. Very sparsely equipped…The outside chairs where extremely rickety so didn’t give much confidence sitting on them…
• Alison (8/5): -
• Natalie (5/5): - The location was good for us and close to the beach. The room had a damp musty smell which wasn’t pleasant. It looked clean but definitely needed to be refurbished.
• Shelley (4/5): Disappointed with the room - The location was great, nice and close to town and the beach. Was also easy to find. Parking was good with enough space. The bathroom completely flooded when you used the shower, it was a disability friendly room which is ok, but it was extremely slippery after the shower water reached the toilet and sink. A squeegee was supplied to push the water back so obviously aware of the problem. The light from a bulb right in front of a window was on all night and it was right above the bed was very annoying. Over all the cost for the room was over what you would expect for the state of it.
• Sandra (9/5): - Proximity to the beach and town
• Michael (10/5): - Location to the best walking beach in Auckland area.
• Jill (8/5): -
• Martin (8/5): Convenient, room good size, adequate - Its location The hallway and the room carpet
• AnnoulaNL (6/5): -
• Trident (8/5): -
• Louise (3/5): We could’ve stayed at the Nautilus for the same premium price and will next time! - The location was great The unit had ants everywhere, the fridge which was very small was rusty all along the bottom, very old carpet that was stained and worn needing replacing. No lifts so only access to second floor units is via outside stairs. Overall, very tired old motel for paying premium prices and photos misleading.
• Scott (3/5): I wouldn’t stay here again. - Great location and easy check in/ out The facilities are very dated, the carpet looked like it needed replacing 5 years ago. There were flies in the room.
• Kay (10/5): -
• Deborah (9/5): Room is comfortable, staff lovely - Location Being on ground floor
• Angela (5/5): -
• Drew (10/5): Excellent. Highly recommend -
• Kat (7/5): - Rooms were very comfortable. Appreciated the air-conditioning. Our room wouldn't. We were left standing in the corridor for about half an hour before the door lock finally worked.
• James (10/5): Great stay - Spa bath The curtains could see through them from outside
• Tamara (9/5): Great location and value for money - Location, comfy beds, lovely staff Needs some updating just pant really, bathrooms could do with some attention aswell.
• Alyson (7/5): Value for money - Clean comfortable ans hoos location. Great value for money Not able to sit on the patio as not clear ans furniture not great.

• Helen (8/5): -
• Turua (2/5): - That it was close to the beach and town centre. The bed was comfortable aswel. I didnt like the fact I saw a cockroach on top ceiling and that the spa bath wasn't really clean. Part from that everything else was a winner. 4
