Comfortable, modern rooms (everything appears nearly new) situated just off the wonderful Orewa beach and walking distance of the beach front centre and shops. I would highly recommend to independent travellers with a car.

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.

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.

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.

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.
