"Loved staying at Mohua Motels. The staff are all friendly and super attentive at making sure the rooms are presented well, kept up to standard, and ready for guests. The rooms were spotless, and the bed was comfortable. The complimentary toilettries are of high quality, and there are large bottles of shampoo/shower gel in the shower. The room I booked had a small kitchenette with a 2 ring hob and a microwave - perfect if you fancy a simple night in on the balcony. There is easy parking outside...

Ruru Tiny House by Tiny Away
2.0 out of 10, (1)
"Looks great online but the reality was quite a disappointment. The cabin was not as well appointed as I had thought given the cost, all a bit cheap and plasticky. The floor was sort of buckled and uneven in places and as such the door was a challenge to close.

Self contained unit in a rural setting, 5 min to town and beach!
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (13)
"Perfect spot for us as we live on a farm. Quiet. As we are older found bed hard, a topper would help, could be taken off if you like a firm bed.. Only slept here really as there is so much to see and do in the area. Needed a top up of tea bags and soap which was promptly delivered. Very handy to town and beaches."
