Orana Motor Inn

Best kept secret in New Zealand! I’m convinced a Michelin Star chef is hiding out in North New Zealand at a run-down old motor inn. The steak here is one of the best we’ve had anywhere and the sides were just as phenomenal. We’ll be going back for dinner again tonight. Ignore the ancient wood paneling and scuffed 70s linoleum. This place is a hidden gem.

Staff are really friendly and accommodating. Food is yum and well sized. Room I stayed in is cosy and clean. A good bang for your buck. Always enjoy staying here : .Rooms: 4/5

Didn't stay at the motel so can't rate there. . But we did dine in for dinner. FOOD was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL not what we were expecting at all for what the place looked like. Esbestos ceiling made me feel a uncomfortable . Could really do with a revamp liven up the place to match the menu. LOVED the bar area too . Will definitely be recommending for FOOD side.

Best to ask if they do emergency housing, I've got two young girls and they decided to put us next to gang members. Asked if we could have another room which was fine. Lol, had to change my name to match who I am staying next to. Receptionist is friendly and helpful to be added. That who the 1 star is for.

Really great place, awesome food, great service, nice atmosphere...Food: 4/5
