This little gem gives you a great view of the ocean. The accomodations are super clean, roomy with a cute little kitchenette! The beds are super comfy! Air conditioning after. Hot day of hiking was so appreciated! The owners were delightful and ready to fix any issues that Came up! Loved this little find!

We were blessed to find a half pint of milk in the frig which we used for breakfast cereal. This was no mistake left from a previous occupant because this is the second time we experienced this nice touch of hospitality. Also they washed our almost week's clothes and refused payment Finally it is right on the Firth of Thames north of Thames. So it is a very quiet place to rest by the found with gentle breezes blowing. A beautiful spot in my opinion. The room was quite comfortable with separate living room. What more could you want?

Our hosts only communicated by email, so we did not meet them during our stay. They left detailed instructions about the accommodation & the area. The room was large, clean, the kitchen was well equipped. Grill available. The property is across from the bay. Pretty sunsets. We enjoyed the deck, along with local ducks who came by for a visit. Grocery stores close by. We used the motel as a base to explore the Coromandels Peninsula. Worked well.Good stay.

Lovely motel just by the sea. A good 1 night stop to make if you spending time driving the coromandel loop

Des

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, communication
Would not use again. Window latches missing and the ones there were unusable. Lots of coming and going from access to beach area made you feel insecure. Drapes on windows not clipped correctly, tv reception was terrible shower not much better. No reception never saw anyone and the drive into the unit was like driving the bronks. They seem to accommodate for permanent occupancy.

Amazing stay
We had lovely stayed at Sunset Motel, easy check in and check out, The apartment we are staying is immaculate, big space, there was 4 bedroom apartment, and was only 2 of us, The kitchen, the living room, and the bathroom is clean and very nice. Big plus that they have sky sports channels. And step away from the beach, beautiful sunset view, everything is amazing, 5 min drive or less to the town.
