Great location a minute's walk from the beach. Room clean and had all the usual amenities. Decor a bit past its best and road noise quite loud during the day as the room faced the main road through Orewa.

Clean & tidy, but seems to be a mixture of new and old decor and paintwork. Great aircon & shower pressure. Friendly staff. Great having a little private patio area. Right by the beach & within walking distance to Town Centre.

We found it strange that the bedroom did not have a window. It was the way the unit was designed but did not like not been able to open a window. Outside in the car park could be tidier to make a more attractive entry.
