Lovely beachfront location about 5mins walk to shops and orewa centre. My first stay was in a beachfront apartment which was very noisy. The owners were very helpful but noise from the next apartment ruined my sleep. The owners actually contacted me and offered me a free stay in a self contained unit. This was a 2 bedroom lockwood house... More

We spent our last night in New Zealand at the Edgewater Motel because we wanted another beach night before heading home to Colorado winter and Orwea is less than an hour from the Auckland airport. Located on the beach on the Hibiscus Coast, the Edgewater is an older motel that is in need of some TLC and upgrades, but did... More

We stayed here 30 years ago with our kids on our last trip to NZ. My wife in her record of our trip wrote about how great it was. So we decided to return. First the location is the best in this town, right on the beach and potential great views. We stayed in an ocean front room this time.... More

We only stayed here for one night traveling through to Northland, wished we could have stayed longer. Owner very helpful and the unit was a good size with a well equipped kitchen and plenty of room for the four of us. Motel is right by the sandy beach, a 30 second walk from our front door. We thought the road... More

The only beachside motel in Orewa, so it's got a bit of a head start in location. It must be popular as although we only needed a one bedroom unit these were all full so we had to stay in a two bedroom. We had lots of room and the place is as clean as it can be and the... More

Stayed here for 6 night over Christmas, very warm temperatures, the room had not been aired out and was really musty damp smelling. Noneof the windows had any working security stays on them so we could not leave open to air or move the air around. We had unit 7 it was a 1 bedroom unit. The "bedroom" had a... More

Stayed 2 nights here. Check in/check out easy. Managers very friendly and helpful. I had been told when I booked that the property was old but clean, and this is exactly what it is. It reminded us of the beach baches we stayed in when we where kids. Location-- couldn't have been better, on the beach, easy walk to shops.... More

Stayed one night with kids, in family room. Right on the beach, couldnt get any closer, so much better to be on that side of the road when you have kids. Close walking distance to all the nice boutique shops of Orewa including a supermarket. Motel was very clean, all basic amenities including bath, microwave all the kitchen stuff. Very... More

Don,t be fooled by lush looking reception area, from there it all goes downhill very quickly, a beach side unit from the 70's that is so badly maintained and basic that even a whole bottle of wine and a few beers could not detract from the awfulness of this place,the walls are so thin I could hear the next unit...
