It was a last minute booking and the hosts were very welcoming. We highly recommend the motel, which has undergone a full refurbishment.

We stayed here for 2 nights. We had the family and a single room for 4 adults and 2 kids aged 8 & 6. We loved our rooms, beds were very comfy & clean. Such a neat little kitchen in the family room too. We enjoyed the BBQ facility provided after a long day at Waihi beach and Karangahake Gorge. Great value, quality and location. Owners were friendly from the get go and very helpful. If you are coming to PAEROA or nearby, Come STAY HERE!!!
