Thank you so much for letting us have a late check-out:)
The room was spacious and clean. Very comfortable bed. The staff were friendly and helpful. Have stayed a number of times and will return next time I am in Orewa. Conveniently close to the beach and cafe's, bars, supermarkets and shops.
One night staycation from Auckland. Weather didn't play ball the whole time, but the room was perfect. Spa bath was essential and the bed was like a cloud. A fantastic stayoverall.
We love that Waves Motel is just steps away from sandy beach of Orewa. Spacious motel with in-room spa. Motel 11 do had some issues with the spa plug n power switch which we had brought up to lady upon checkout. Will stay at Waves again as the location is great

Helpful and welcoming staff. Lovely spacious room - especially the bathroom. Comfortable bed. Great location to the beach. Nicer curtains and carpets since the last time we stayed :)
