Great little motel!

Really friendly and helpful staff, unit was super clean, beds were comfortable. The little pool was great for our kids to blow off some steam after a long travel day. We were able to walk a short distance to get dinner, and it's just a little longer of a walk to get to the beach and an incredible playground. Highly recommend!

The motel is spotlessly clean and the accommodation was superb . The double room had a large comfortable bed and lovely kitchen with everything you need to cook with supplied. The bathroom was spotless and spacious with a fantastic shower. Absolutely loved our stay . Convenient to the beach which is within walking distance. It also a short drive into Nelson it’s self. Highly recommend this property . Belinda the owner was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable of the things to do in and around the area. Added bonus of having a salt water swimming pool.
