Great place. Very friendly staff. Comfortable rooms. Heaps of parking. I will definitely be staying again.
Fantastic service so comfortable everything you could need the best.
Loved our recent stay, Unit had everything we needed, great place for family stays with the expansive garden area and playground. Fab place to base yourself so that you're close to all the activities and points of interest the region has to offer. Highlight was the amazing service provided by Lisa, nothing was a problem and she went above and beyond to help. A+
A lovely clean motel with everything we needed.nThe lady on reception was so friendly informative and lovely to chat with.nHave stayed twice and will definitely call again.
2 night stay at Golden Bay Motel in Takaka. There are a couple of Motels in Takaka, and all were around the same price mark for the dates of my stay. What drew me to the GB Motel was the lovely outlook from the rooms over the back garden. Far better than looking at a carpark or a fence.nnGot a message on the day of Check In, to say my room was ready, and the keys were on the bench. The Motel was extremely easy to find, located on the main drag of Takaka on the road towards Collingwood. Whilst not directly in the CBD, the Motel is still absolutely within walking distance. Heaps of parking, including right outside the unit. The Motel is older, but seems to be well maintained and tidy.nnMy room was a 1 bedroom unit, with the lounge/living area overlooking the back garden, and the entrance/kitchen/bathroom at the front by Carpark. The bedroom was located in the middle. It was a really odd setup. The bedroom was walled off from the living area, but the walls didn't quite go all the way up to the roof. There was also a large window like gap in the wall. So it kinda didn't feel like the bedroom was really 'separate'. Okay if travelling by yourself, but it could be annoying if you were travelling with someone else.nnThe Kitchenette was well equipped, with pretty much everything you need to cook a decent meal. The only thing it could use was some more Cutlery. It also had a large Fridge/Freezer unit which is perfect for Self Catering. Awesome to have proper Milk! Hallelujah! Soo many accommodation providers just give out that horrid UHT rubbish, so it was awesome to have the proper stuff.nnThe living area was well set up, with a couple of comfortable sofas and a dining table. Wall Mounted TV with Freeview. Apparently there was Netflix available, but I couldn't seem to work it out. The ranch slider out to the patio and garden was quite old, and was really hard and heavy to open and close.nnThere is no Heatpump/Air Conditioning unit, but there was a Nightstore type heater on the wall, which did a brilliant job of keeping the entire unit warm and at a constant temperature.nnI didn't find the bed all that comfortable, but that's personal opinion. It's always hard to find the perfect bed haha.nnThe whole unit was impeccably clean and tidy, with everything well maintained. The linen was clean and of good quality.nnBeing an older Motel, it meant the walls between neighboring units were actually decent, and meant I didn't hear a peep from anyone. Whilst located on the main drag of Takaka, it's hardly State Highway One, and I didn't really notice the Road Noise.nnI would absolutely stay again when I return to Takaka/Golden Bay. Highly Recommend.
