Overall Ratings & Reviews Marlin Court Motel

Very dated apartment, no air conditioning, no extractor fan in bathroom.

Very clean. Comfortable bed. Great value.

Awesome place

Staff were nice but this place is quite dated and in need of refurbishment. Way overpriced for what you get.

The room is so old and outdated. Our room’s toilet lavatory has red-brown stain on it, its yuck. Had to inform Ruth about this and she just said sorry I shouldve mentioned it lol. Our shower’s water flow is sooooo weak can’t use it.

great stay

Good rooms and comfortable. Only improvement would be an AC to cool down a bit.

Really nice, clean and tidy motel room and welcoming, friendly staff. Perfect as a base for walks in Russell, Opua and other nearby islands and coast.

Owner! Terrific!

Nice place to stay and enjoy the beach and surrounding areas

Served it’s purpose

Easy walking distance to the ferry and lots of places to eat if you don't want to cook.

It's great to see Kiwis running our motels

Close to beach. Roomy.

Great welcome. Ruth picked me up from the bus stop. Very comfortable bed.

Friendly staff. Very comfortable bedding. Great location. Easy walk to town and tours. Great wi-fi. Quiet.

It was really hard to find the actual signage for the motel from the street. We spent some time going around in circles to find it. The car parking wasn’t easy to distinguish between shoppers and motel guest parking and we worried about safety and leaving our rental in the car park. The area outside the entrance was occupied by a group of individuals smoking around their cars with music and wasn’t at all a safe feeling walking into the small reception area. We did not feel safe. The check in was smooth however we had big suitcases and had to lug them down stairs and on leaving up stairs, that was a pain. There should be a description it’s two story and no lifts. Please take the time to explain clearly and exactly where your guests rooms are. Our room itself was lovely inside, very clean. The bed was an absolute dream and comfy. The TV was a good size. Our shower head wasn’t too good all the water was spraying out the side of the hose, so the pressure was soft.

Property was in easy walking distance to various dining options, shops and tourist activities. Very enjoyable stay.

Very friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable.

Good price and clean and comfortable
