• capon (10/5): -

• Trevor Petersen (8/5): -
• Paula (7/5): Really friendly and welcoming. Unit a good size and well appointed but could do with updating but overall recommend the - Clean and tidy. Within walking distance to township It’s a bit outdated

• Martin (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Trish (8/5): -
• Suzanne (8/5): Great for what we needed. Good location and great staff - Place was clean and tidy. If I have to pick a problem had a dripping tap in the bathroom and they were aware of this and was in the process of getting fixed. Staff were outstanding and friendly - great service and very helpful. Pricing was good too so would stay there again next year Nothing everything was functioning and working - had no issues and could contact staff if there were any issues but there wasn't. LIke I said would stay there again
• Christine (9/5): A haven after the traumatic drive - A lovely spacious apartment, laundry facilities & a super garden space
• Peter (9/5): Comfortable and quiet. - Good sized motel room with couch and armchair. Small but functional kitchen. Recently refurbished so everything was neat and tidy. Our Host was delightful! So chatty and so full of life! Parking was good, and the whole place was reasonably quiet. The bed and pillow were super comfortable. Wouldn't hesitate to book and stay there again. Nothing to be concerned about - spot on!
• Sharron (9/5): - Great place to stay, easy walk to town. Good restaurants close by.
• alainvoyagel (6/5): - Hôtel globalement correct. Pas beaucoup de restaurant dans le secteur
• Phillip (7/5): - Proximity. Free laundry. Outside rooves. Facilty is a little dated now. Not enough hooks and rails to hang things on - bathrooms and bedrooms.
• trevor (10/5): -
• Clare (9/5): Extremely friendly staff, fantastic communication and a great stay. -
• Cengiz (9/5): Ganz ordentliche Unterkunft für einen Zwischenstopp für eine Nacht in Takaka. - Ganz ordentliche Unterkunft mit einer tollen Terrasse zur Gartenseite. Schlafzimmer zur Gartenseite war ruhig gelegen. Die Ortsmitte mit den teilweise sehr netten Lokalen ist zu Fuß in 15 min gut zu erreichen. Die Duschwanne ist beim Duschen vollgelaufen. Das Wasser lief nicht richtig ab und man stand im Wasser.

• Trudy (9/5): -
• Graeme (7/5): Pleasant apartment with good facilities. - The two bedroom apartment was spacious and clean. The kitchen was well equipped. Nice small patio out the back of the apartment. Older style motel. Got charged a significant surcharge when paying my bill even though I inserted a a debit card (pay-wave also wasn’t operating). Office not staffed at arrival time for most guests so other arrangements are required. Only single beds in both bedrooms.
• Susan (9/5): - An older motel. Rooms are attractively decorated, and the back garden/lawn area is very pretty and appealing. Large 2-bedroom unit was roomy. Full kitchen. Quiet. Water pressure is low in the shower. Twin bed was ok, but a bit saggy and lumpy.
• Burton (8/5): - Clean and tidy easy booking great communication
• Raelene (10/5): Great affordable motel Takaka value!! - Welcoming staff nicely presented unit Nothing
• Phil (9/5): -

• Bernhard (9/5): -
• Vishal (7/5): -
• Walter (9/5): Takaka ist ein interessanter Ort - Sehr nettes Motel mit eigenem Parkplatz vor der Türe. An der Hinterseite konnte man in den Garten gehen oder auf der Terrasse verweilen. In wenigen Minuten ist man im Zentrum.

• Cameron (8/5): -
• Kris (6/5): -
• Briaan (10/5): Fabulous! - Big property! The perfect reprieve after Heaphy!! Hot showers and a comfy room
• CAMPION (10/5): -
• sandra (10/5): - Lisa was very welcoming. Great relaxing in the afternoon looking into the garden
• Alberto (10/5): -
• Jane (7/5): -
• rianne (7/5): Prima voor een kort verblijf - Zonder auto kom je niet ver
• Michiel (8/5): it was relaxing - great shower my bed matress was not right
• Angela (4/5): Dissapointing - The location is walking distance to Takaka. The furniture in the lounge was comfortable. We had a solid roof over our heads during a storm which was better than being in a tent (popular in this area). The fridge was a good size. The water pressure in the shower was abysmal. It was so bad that I turned the shower on without removing the floor mat from inside the shower and it didn't get wet at all. And when I tried to wash my hair no water dribbled down either side of my face/hair. It's the single worst shower I have ever used anywhere that even my partner with very little hair struggles ith using. The mattress was uncomfortable and we could feel springs and no cushioning. I really hate plastic jugs in motels but this one was super old and clunky. We didn't see any physical staff for the first few days and my partner had to secure a gate during a storm. It didn't feel super safe knowing there were no staff around and it was a bit confusing when they did show up all of a sudden. This motel is up for sale and it is very obvious that they have t been maintaining it of late. It felt a bit off that we got charged $200 a night for this level of quality.
• Jennifer (9/5): Top motel - Everything was globally great, special mention for the lovely garden and free washing machine. A detail, but the outside chairs were dirty with bird droppings, not very welcoming
• Franck (9/5): -
• Bryan (8/5): Pleasant - When we arrived our room door was unlocked and the key was on the table. We had a text message advising us of this. Everything was pleasant and the bed was comfortable. We had a back porch but the weather wasn't sunny so we kept the back door closed and didn't investigate further. The place was quiet and it was a short walk into the town centre. The bathroom was small and there was nowhere to hang our towels.
• Alfs (10/5): Quiet and spacious, excellent for us! - Friendly and helpful host! N/A
• Dennis (7/5): -
• Daniela (9/5): Schöner Garten - Schön eingerichtete, große Wohnung. Badezimmer zu Toilette getrennt. Tolle Veranda nach hinten zum gepflegten Garten hin. Alles sehr sauber. Nette, zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Cafes und Restaurants fußläufig erreichbar.
• ODILE (9/5): -
• PASCAL (9/5): - L'organisation de l'accueil en dehors des heures de présence à la réception. La bonne humeur de la mangeuse. Le logement qui en fait est un deux pièces ( chambre séparée) le confort de la literie. La laverie gratuite. La petite terrasse a donnant sur le jardin de chaque logement. Le mobilier est un peu de style vieillissant mais le rapport qualité prix est impeccable. Rien,

• SUSAN (10/5): Don’t judge a book by its cover - this is a great place to stay 😀 - Location - walking distance to shops. We stayed in room 5 - this was so spacious with 2 beds, dining table and full longe. The best part was the large glass sliding doors leading out to a private deck overlooking a lovely garden and play area. Very relaxing spot for to have a drink and read a book. Friendly staff. Washing machine and dryer available for guests. Kitchen facilities to cook if needed. Nothing - happy with everything
• Derryn (8/5): Very pleasant - Very spacious, we could have housed a lot more people. Not a problem just some painting could be tidied up.
• Murray (8/5): -
• Val (8/5): -
• Ros (10/5): Great motel. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again when I’m in Tākaka. - Great location, great value for money and it had everything we needed including a comfortable lounge and dining table. Nothing
• Lilli (8/5): Clean and tidy - Cleanliness, order, milk and equipment to make food, soft pillows, comfy beds, outdoor area Netlfix didnt work on the tv, the bath towel rail wasnt screwed in and fell if too hard, sliding doors shook or didnt shut fully.
• Lisa (9/5): Lovely and peaceful - Lovely and clean unit with everything we needed. Loved that the ranchslider opened out into a beautiful peaceful garden. Only a 5min walk to town. Locatuon peaceful and no traffic noise. Manager met us in the morning upon checkout so we could pay cash.

• Louise (10/5): BEST Motel I have EVER stayed in - The Unit was spacious, sooo clean and comfy, the beds were comfortable and the shower pressure was great and hot. Very close (walking distance to town) and the unit was SOOOOOO quiet even being beside the main road, we didnt hear any noises from either side units. Good heating, plenty of room, and the couch was exceptionally comfy. Lovely view out the back to the garden area. The best Motel we have ever stayed in. Contactless hosts as well which worked really well. Nothing - as I said this Motel Complex exceeded our expectations - AMAZING
• Chick (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great, room was ready really early and staff super friendly
