Orewa beachfront motel
Nice beachfront motel. We were given a bandicapped room without requesting one. Bathroom was a ‘wet’ room w/ in floor drain & slippery tiles. As the motel was completely booked, we didn’t attempt to find or ask if they had a standard king room availble.

Tired
Very tired decor and carpets.
Bathroom smelled mouldy with visible mould in the grout. Our mattress was very hard, tired and lumpy.
Up side is location to the surf beach and a short walk/drive to the shops. Reception staff were friendly. Access to on-site diy laundry facilities if needed.
Would not stay again.
