The location was exceptionally nice, approx 10-15 minutes' walk from Opo the Dolphin Statue. Besides, it was just next door to the Four Square shop, the waterfront and Opononi township.

scenic outdoor area

small shower

If I could give more stars I would! This place was beyond amazing, right on the water with quick access to the beach. The unit was super clean, and the people running the hotel were friendly and offered great suggestions for things to do. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor table overlooking the water for our morning coffee. Plus, the flowers and plants around the hotel are amazing.

The shower is on the smaller side, but it didn't detract from our experience.

Spacious rooms with great outdoor seating. Neat gardens that add a calming vibe.

Some appliances feel outdated, with a stove taking ages to boil water. The parking can get tight, especially if the place fills up.

plumbing noise

cramped quarters

The lighthouse motel woudl ve been an absolute gem if not for the myriad of inconveniences. We could hear the neighbors' plumbing all night, good. And with minimal counter space in the kitchenette, it's just what one would expect when trying to work in such cramped quarters. I nearly left a glowing review, but just couldn't.

We had a nice night here and really liked the fantastic sunset views by the BBQ area! The kitchenette was a bit cramped for cooking, but the welcome we got made it worthwhile. It's easy to walk to cafes and shops nearby. The neighbors were kinda loud, though, a bit annoying.
