The motel unit was really well equipped with high end fittings that made it feel quite luxurious. It was spotlessly clean too. The hosts were lovely providing a huge amount of local knowledge and suggestions for things to do. It was a very easy walk into Takaka in the evenings for a range of dining options.

We cruised into this relatively new motel and stayed 2 nights in charming Takaka. The motel offers large, clean and tidy rooms that are well appointed. It is good value. The owners are friendly and helpful. Takaka is a must visit in the north of the south Island with its slightly alternatative, arty scene, good cafes ans wonderful outdoors experiences... More

We want to stay only one night, but then staed three. Everything was good, friendly and helpful staff, very good rooms and beds, good equipment and amenities (incl. BBQ right in the middle of the motel). Staff provides you with information on walks and so on. Supermarket 100 m across the street.

Stayed for 6 nights in the end. This motel is a real find, recently done up, quiet and comfy with one of the best showers we found in 6 weeks of travel. The air conditioning was a real bonus when the temperature hit 29 C. Friendly, helpful owners and a good selection of pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance.... More
