Great location close to the marina, and nice, spacious, clean unit, with privacy for two friends travelling together and good facilities. Pleasant surroundings and parking right outside which was important as I have limited mobility. We found a great, very reasonably priced fish and chip shop at Farm Cove Takeaways which we intended to take down to Buckland Beach but we couldn't find a way to access it by car (which we needed due to my mobility issues), so we found a spot by the Macleans Park instead.

The fan in the room wasn't sufficiently effective to keep me cool enough at night (we were there in January, so it was hot), and it was a bit noisy - the unit would really benefit from a heatpump with cooling/aircon, or a more effective plug-in airconditioning unit.

Half Moon Bay Motel exceeded our expectations. The place was very large and comfortable and had a kitchen and fridge with a lovely out door seating facing the sea. The beds were comfortable and there was a nice divider between our sons bed and our bed with a large seating area. We loved how quiet it was with no road noise and there was a lovely view of the sailing harbour. Everything we needed was walking distance to walking boardwalk, cafes, grocery stores, restaurants and the sea! I even found a post office beside the cafes. A wonderful getaway for our family. We will definitely stay again.

2nd time I've stayed there 1st time it was room 5 witch was amazing apart from a huge hole in the wall 2nd time was room 6 the holder in the shower was broken and for some reason it had a old TV that you couldn't stream to 🤷‍♂️ both rooms had things the other room didn't, also I had spoken to owners the day I booked about late check out they said 12 is ok then on the say tried telling me no 10 am so we ended up settling on 11am check out 😒

Great location, 2 minutes walk to the marina and shopping centre from your room(The motel is open to the marina carpark at the back). Great restaurants, amazing food. Countdown, chemist etc Water pressure was good, bathroom a little tried. Very quiet spot for all that was around it. Summer maybe different but as a winter place to stay, I would stay again

No, heat pump just an oil heater. Made sure to leave on when out, to warm the room but only kept the chill off. No bed side tables, moved main table to put the phone, water bottle etc on. Stayed three nights, had to ask for fresh towels ! Not a place I would bring small children too, open to the water, streets in every direction!

Great location, comfortable apartment, and manager Stephen was very helpful and kind

Could have had a little more equipment in the kitchen as it was an apartment with cooking facilities. Couldn’t get the oven to work (may have been us?), no washing up bowl or other equipment to serve a salad in or re-heat food in the microwave

The location was excellent. The room was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

The room lacked storage space. There were no places to put our clothes so we left everything in our suitcases. It's not so great for a 3 week stay. One week into our 3 week I found out I had to check out one day earlier than originally planned. They refused my request to change the checkout date and told me I would have to pay for that day.

The perfect holiday destination . We loved everything from location that's close to the amazing restaurants, the supermarket , beach , great space for kids to play and ride their bikes on the board walk . But the best part of all was the friendly staff where nothing was a problem. They let us check in early as we had a wedding to attend. The room was huge , had plenty of space for our family and a kitchen that provided all our needs.

Nothing. Excellent place and affordable too.

The cleanliness and comfortable bed. I love that it was pet friendly!!! There is a funny super brave stray cat, that had no fear of our dog, and kept coming in the door. Classic. Very nice to walk around the marina. Super close to the ferry to great barrier and wiaheke.

The outside concrete stairs to the top cabins didn't have a light. Very very scary, as I have 2 bad knees. I was petrified of falling down them. I almost did!

We were able to take our cat as we were travelling up from the South Island to the North Island to take her to the airport cattery before emigrating abroad. The beds were super comfy, the room was clean, the staff were friendly and accommodating, the location was fairly good, but we drove so it was easy for us to get around.

There were some noisy neighbours, this is not in the owners power I know but just to be aware of this that earplugs may be a good idea!

The location is awesome, being located in the marina with all the restaurants etc. The owner was a delight, so good to deal with. Our dog was totally welcome. Everything was clean and tidy in the unit.

It’s a small thing, while the shower pressure was great, the shower head should be on a sliding arm so it could be adjusted properly.
