Staff were friendly. Bed was awful and no room to walk around the bed.
Property was fresh, clean and modern. Manager was very helpful in advising places to eat and visit. Location was great, close to beach. Very professional outfit and will be top of my list for places to stay when next in area. Thoroughly recommend this property.
Very good kitchen. Really nice staff. Very close to the great Waikanae and Midway beaches and boardwalk. Two great and different restaurants not too far away.

Great stay.. everything there and close to everything. Will stay again.
Extremely comfortable stay. Check in was a breeze and we had the best nights sleep. In walking distance to the most beautiful beach and eating options. Definitely staying again
Very good room well appointed. Reception was excellent as are the managers.It suited me for one night. Beds and linen were great and comfortable. Thank you Waikanae Beach Motel.
Can park outside the unit. Cleaning done daily if required and just ask friendly staff for restocking of any consumables. Sky TV especially if any sports events on.
Booked the saw view suite initially, then added two more nights. I thought I was booking the same room, but it was a different room - smaller and no view, and not as nice. Disappointed, but it isn't anyone's fault.
Parking was challenging given the number and location of available bays but given we were in a hire car we drove carefully to get in and out of the tight spaces.
