Kaimahi were very obliging and sent messages to access keys and to register for our stay.
Clean convenient and yes, we will certainly be back to stay on another occasion.
We stayed 2 nights in the motel and it was one of the best we have stayed in. Out of all the hotels we stayed in in New Zealand, this was one of the cheapest but what we got for our money was outstanding. A very large comfy bed,a kitchen, air conditioning and large television and a very large bathroom. We also had free use of the launderette including free detergent. Could not fault it and would recommend it to anyone staying in Whakatane.
