We stayed one night in a nice, clean, well-equipped studio. The TV was wall mounted which made it impossible to watch from the sofa so had to be seen from the bed. Location was wonderful, just opposite the beautiful beach and very close to the shops and restaurants. You don't notice the road as there is no noise. The patio... More

We just stayed the one night while catching up with family. Very clean accommodation and great location. So close to the beach, the shops and great restaurants. Only downside really was that there was four adults and one child, and the toilet had no handle or lock!!!! Also we were given just four towels. On the plus side though, it... More

Have stayed here before and consistently good. All rooms are side on to the road - so you don't get the road noise. We had a studio with outdoor seating in the garden, just what we wanted.Literally a 2 minute walk to the Orewa shops and services. Lovely, spotlessly clean Lockwood units.Free-wifi voucher, and especially important - friendly and helpful... More

My husband, myself and our 23 year old son stayed at the orewa motor lodge for one night on our way to the bay of islands and coming from Tauranga. We loved Orewa for its neatness, well layed out paths along the beach and the proximity of restaurants and take aways. The motel was exactly what one would visualise a... More

Got warm welcome from the owner when we checked in and the double room was really nice. Quite large with Sky TV, a kettle, fridge, tea, coffee, kitchen, microwave, cooker and towels were provided. A short walk to the beach over the road or to the shop and restaurants down the road.

We stayed here for four nights with our family of two adults and two kids. It was the first time we had stayed here. This is an old style motel but it was pretty clean and tidy. We had a two bedroom unit which had a kitchenette (with small fridge and full-sized oven) and bathroom with shower and separate toilet.... More

I've stayed at this hotel twice, once in 2005 and also just recently. It's improved a lot in 6 years and it was pretty good to start with. It's perfectly located and the room has everything you need for a shortish stay. My one slight issue was that there wasn't much space to put clothes and so many of mine... More
