I can't thank you enough for giving us such an amazing experience. The units were spotless, loads of blankets, pillows and towels. We had not been together for over 5 years and this is just where we needed to be. Used the BBQ, swam, walked the beach and easy access to the Marina at Tutakaka and the dairy. What a lovely couple running the Sands Motel. My eldest daughter flew out yesterday and my second daughter went back to Auckland. We now know where my husband and I can come for a break. We will be back. Carole

Glad we booked for a few nights so we had time enough to beach comb and climb a few hills to see the sights. But remember to book with the low tides being the middle of the day in order to get around the rocky points. Fishing was good. The motel unit was supplied with everything you need. Two fridges! There are no nearby food shops or restaurants so you need to bring all your own tucker. When booking the motel informed us what our unit was fitted with. Car was given a covered park. Happy to return.

My partner and I were very pleased with this little motel. The staff were friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. The Unit was spotless and warm. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will happily stay there again sometime in the future.

My daughter and I spent 4 days in this beautiful part of NZ. While the motel is older, it has a very efficient heat pump which made it very comfortable. The location is as per the photos, right on the beach. Hosts are friendly, helpful and kind.

We stayed at the motel during cyclone Gabrielle. The managers Ross and Shelley went above and beyond to ensure we were safe and had everything we needed. We could not have been in a better place. The unit was exceptionally well furnished, with great beds and comfortable eating and sitting areas. There was everything we needed and it was in a beautiful setting. We will definitely stay there again, it was awesome!

Lovely place to stay, I had a very nice clean cabin, the hosts were lovely and setting is fantastic... I'd recommend a walk to the beach then turn right and continue up to the lookout and then further around to lots of other empty beaches and more stunning scenery...
