ケリケリ コート モーテル

Good stay but needed some maintenance. Outdoor table outside our room was badly buckled (and isn't the only one) so hard to eat on if sitting on the deck. Compendium in rooms are very out of date. It states there were Sky Movies but there was not. It also states daily room service but I had to ask for it after the fourth night as our bin was full, we were running out of toilet paper and needed clean towels. Had to go down twice over a 7 night stay to ask for more toilet paper. Was told we were supposed to let them know if we required room service the night before if it was needed. Bad service. Pool was nice but the stones around it are sharp to walk on in barefeet.

The painted breeze block and 70s decor would have been fine if the room didn’t stink of stale cigarette smoke. I understand that places like this are designed to meet a price point and I think I was booked there in error, but in 2024 there is no excuse for this lack of cleanliness. I didn’t ending up staying there even though I had already paid.

We booked out 11 rooms for a Waitangi weekend work stay and it was an excellent choice on what is probably one of the busiest weekend of the year. The units were that older concrete block style but were spotless, really spacious, and just moments walk from town and supermarket. The fully stocked kitchenette and layout of having the single beds in the back bedroom with the queen bed in the front lounge area would make it ideal for a family stay. There was an excellent playground just over the back fence and the pool area was safe for kids. The parents in our work group said it would be ideal for a family stay.
