The room was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The bed linen and sheets were beautifully laundered giving that crisp, cool and refreshing feeling.
The amenities on site were excellent.
This was our first time at Te Tiriti Motel and it is better than many of others that we have stayed at. Highly recommend.

Happy stay!
The Unit was good size, we could spread out!
The beds were good, firm, and our backs did not suffer.
The pool was great and right outside our unit.
A bbq enabled us to have healthy choice meals of our choosing!
Our one concern was the shower curtains that did not do the job! Bathroom floor got incredibly wet and was hazardous inspite of a bathmat. That was a concern with our mature aged party, one of whom is in 70s.
Overall really happy stay!

We received text saying key was in lockbox by room. Arrived when dark and not light above box so hard to see when entering number.
Unit was nothing like the photo of hotel. It was street side and very noisy being by main room, with traffic speeding past all hours of the night and day.
Reception not managed and no one around to help oversea tourists who arrived on Saturday afternoon - we ended up having to ring several times on their behalf to get hold of anyone.
Woke last morning with cockroaches in our bed!!!!!
Nothing in room regarding where to get meals.
Water from tap was horrible! Recommend take bottled water if you are going to stay here.
Liquid soap in shower not refilled so ended up having to go to Countdown next door to buy our own!!!
Would I stay here again? Short answer is NO! By no means not the worse place but have stayed in better for similar price.
