Mana-Nui Motel

The accommodation boasts a fantastic pool and spa, ramps for wheelchair access, and a central location near shops, cafes, beach, and ferry. Guests appreciate the exceptional cleanliness and friendly, accommodating staff.

A great place to stay if you visiting Whitianga. Location is walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach. The owners, Mervyn and Joanne are very friendly and helpful. Daily beach and pool towels are available and even a spade if you heading to Hot Water Beach. Thanks for a great stay.

Joanne and Mervyn provide a welcoming and friendly service. The motel is in the heart of Whitianga so easy walking to the shops, beach, wharf and ferry to Cooks beach. The units ( 1-6) are dated, so expect a 70s decor experience. There are newer units (7-12) which maybe more modern. They did have ramps for one, so good for wheelchair access. Our unit was very clean, however each room only has one power point so with todays devices you need to take a power board to charge everything. Wifi was quite reliable while we were there, though only have 5 GB for stay. Rooms are quite small with no wardrobe, though you can hang a few items on the wall and a set of drawers is provided, along with plenty of mirrors. There is no air conditioning so the units are very hot in the peak of summer, though a fan was provided. Units serviced each day with clean towels and we were provided with sachets of shampoo, soap, make up wipes which my daughter loved. I do not drink tea and coffee however they are supplied in each room. Our little fridge only had an ice box, so a freezer would have been handy for our week stay. A washing machine is provided free, buy powder at reception and coins for dryer if needed. The pool is quite shallow however nice to cool off in on a hot day. Location is key to this motel.
