I would try the Kiwi again maybe the middle or end of summer. It was just the start of opening season, being the long weekend and staff although polite and cheery were new & in training. The new kiwi inspired menu was very delicious. Their kiwi salsa is a must try! As well has their drinks. The pull out couch underneath had dust, food and bounce sheets. There was only one pillow in the hutch for a double pullout bed for two kids to sleep. There was a fitted sheet and a light matching sheet to cover up with. But no blanket or comforter. The pool was open to the public on our first day. Not just guests. The people off the street utilized the best seating areas since it started prior to check in times. Very busy with kids in and out of the beach sand from the volleyball pits and then into the hot tub & pool water to rinse off. A quick foot rinse station could alleviate the added mess. Pool reopened for 8am the following morning, but was not cleaned up to par. Had bugs and hair floating in it. Ph must have been off as there was white froth floating on surface as well. Also need to walk to the front restaurant/bar to get pool towels as opposed to having them conveniently located at the pool area. The back oasis looks beautiful, just a tad wet. The grass swished & got wet shoes on the way to play at the back. All in all it’s a beautiful place to stay, and I’m sure in time all the kinks will be worked out.

The room was absolutely amazing. Big tv, comfy bed, nice fridge snd coffee machine. However, this isn’t a place for the off season. I was hoping to mingle at the bar but I was there on a training day and it felt awkard. I brought my bathing suit to use the hot tub, but I was confused if I was allowed to use it. I was told there was going to be a fire, but didn’t see one. This place is t worth the 350 dollars during the off season. But I can see it being a cool spot in the summer.

The Kiwi Motel is super cute! Would be great in the summer ( we went in February) as an option. We were excited to use the hot tub, but it was like warm, the jets weren’t really working and the water was cloudy. Our room was very nice and cozy. LOVED the fireplace. Only complaint about the room was the bed was very creaky, so as you turn over at night it makes a lot of noise and that there was no microwave. Overall I joyed our night at the Kiwi. I’d be curious to see what it’s like during the summer!

Couldn't even check in, called all the numbers that were provided one was disconnected, one didn't even exist and the others went straight to voicemail. Arrived at 6:30pm open sign was on, said there lobby was open and staffed until 8pm. Absolutely poor waste of money, had to go elsewhere to spend the night.

My goodness Edwin I am so sorry. The emergency number goes to my cell which I have on me 24/7, it never rang nor did any voice mails come in as I check all night. The power was out all day in Grand Bend not sure if this affected the main phone, We are staffed until 5 pm but always available even went in to start fire for guest last night so so sorry this happened. I would love to make it up to you. I also ALWAYS recommend calling the hotel when booking through a Third party. Lets see how we can make you have a wonderful time next time. So sorry

The Kiwi was a cool place to stay. Rooms were well set up and clean. Veronica at the front desk was an amazing host. Hot tub was dialed in, too! Everything on the Grand Bend strip was within walking distance and there were plenty of amenities close by. We did have one fairly major problem - the room we stayed in had an intermittent sound emanating from somewhere (we thought maybe the heating/cooling unit) that kept us up pretty much the whole night! We let the front desk know, and hopefully, it will be addressed. All in all, we would go back again!

If i could rate this 0 I would. We booked this motel because it was freshly renovated. Checked in at 4pm and then went to the beach and had dinner. We got back to the motel at 9:15 pm and went to go sit in bed. We found blood on 2 of the pillows and on the blanket. Keep in mind we have not sat in the bed yet. We go to the front desk and no one is there. We email and call their emergency line and no one picks up. We ended up sleeping in our cars because it was evident the sheets were not washed. Upon the manager coming in at 9am the next day, they state they did not receive any emails or calls. We show them proof and they brush it off. The owner then comes in closer to 10AM and after arguing tells us that she will provide us with a full refund. It has been 2 weeks and no refund has been provided. We have called multiple tiimes and everyone they do not answer or hang up. Avoid this place at all costs. The floors were covered in sand, sheets unwashed, bathroom sink dirty and the bathroom door did not close.

We are sorry to see you felt you needed to leave this review.I can promise we never hang up on anyone and always do our very best to make sure everyone has a wonderful stay. It does happen in very few cases where someone has not been happy and if we can verify we are at fault I assure you we fix the problem.Customer service is our very first and most important job.I can also say at no time were owners in. I did myself after hearing you did not sleep in the room promise to review and get back to you.After talking with the staff member who cleaned the room as well as the other staff and going into the room myself I found the bed slept in all towels and bathrooms used. Which is fantastic we want our guest to use the rooms however after also reviewing cameras it was clear from was in fact used. I am sorry the room was maybe more money then you wanted to spend however I can not refund because of that. I do wish you well.Again here at The Kiwi we always want to make sure you are happy.

This is a little hidden gem incredible staff who by the way are all young people and their service is remarkable. Everything is super clean and well maintained there is a pool, hot tub, fire pits and games this property has been newly renovated and everything is new, we knew the rooms were rather small from the pictures on their website which will change our choice of rooms next time. Rooms followed the theme of the outside but a few things could improve not one drawer a small night stand with a drawer would have made sense most people do not need more than one or two small drawers. There are real glass glasses and ceramic cups fresh creamers in the fridge which is a welcomed change but not a stir stick in sight to stir your coffee with. First thing we notice walking into the bathroom was a safety bar by the toilet but not one in the beautiful huge shower and towels and extra toilet paper, hair dryer and iron are stored on a shelve at floor level. These are not a game changer for us we loved the place but will bring a few different things next visit. If you will be staying in Grand Bend in the future give the Kiwi motel try.

The room was clean, contemporary, and well equipped. Beds were comfortable. We especially appreciated the pool and lounge with all the seating, bars, and firepits, which made us feel as if we were at a resort. We didn't use the breakfast service as we weren't sure how it worked and chose other options.

I can't say enough about how lovely this property and its staff are. My 7-yr old son and I stayed at the Kiwi for 3 nights/4 days and we had so much fun. The property has been beautifully renovated with an awesome pool area, patio cafe, and a backyard with lounge chairs, games, bbq and fire pits. Pinery Provincial Park is a short 10-min drive away. Grand Bend beach is within walking distance, and the main strip has a very fun and relaxed beach town vibe. We didn't want to leave and we will be coming back!
