The motel is by the sea, the environment is great! The indoor decoration and sanitation are very good! The only thing that is not good is that there are windows on three sides of the second floor, and I was woken up by the light early in the morning. Alas, it's my own problem. Overall, it's very warm!
The hotel was in a good location. Very near to some cafe and ample parking spaces. But unfortunately there was no electricity on our second day due to construction works nearby. To be specific: there was No Electricity from 8-9am until 1-2pm and then resumed normal. We had to finish all the food we bought from supermarket immediately otherwise food would turn bad.
There was a carnival or something nearby and there was fireworks.
This is a great stay in a perfect location with great views and beaches and walks nearby. Highly recommend this. A very comfy place where they make you feel some where special. Restaurants nearby, the handbook of the hotel is also wonderful. Absolutely loved and would definitely come back. Thanks so much.
Very clean, has everything you need. Wasn’t able to check in by 630pm, called them in advance to inform and arranged for a self check in. Emily was very kind, explained the steps over the phone, and texted again just as a reminder. Self check in was very easy and convenient. Instructions were attached with the key, documents were neatly placed in the room.
Only downside was it wasn’t very close to the supermarket/shops, probably about 15min walk, but it was raining so took us 20min. Driving would have been better.
Please note there’s no lift, so we had to carry our luggage to the 2nd floor.
Overall, would come back again, it was still a great stay!
We checked in at night and were warmly welcomed by Mr. Fong at the reception—he was very helpful and approachable. Since there were three of us, we booked a double-storey, four-bedded unit. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The only downside was the parking area, which was quite small and required some skill to navigate. Mr. Fong kindly offered to assist with parking, but we managed to handle it ourselves. One suggestion: it would be helpful to have more cutlery available in the unit for added convenience.
The place was unexpectedly nice. Room was clean and there were some nice touches - a wee bottle of full cream milk with a nice creamy top, a bottle of water chilling in the fridge. Check in was effortless. The shower was a little weak but overall I'm really glad I stayed here. New world supermarket across the road and a world class steak restaurant around the corner
Interesting 3 bedroom apartment, building is made of central hexagon shape with the sunken living room in the middle. Only problem is the 7th person has to sleep in a portable collapsable spring bed so not comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay and host promptly came to our rescue when we couldn't figure out how to power on the heater.
This is a really well equipped room and we were very happy with our stay. The room is large and well lit. Comfy big beds and the air-con works well as it gets very warm in the room with the afternoon sun streaming in. We enjoyed the very vocal welcoming cat in reception too! The location is very close to everything you need during your stay.
Would love to have a sealed bottle of milk rather than the pre filled bottle, and there were toenail clippings all over the carpet by my side of the bed and the light bulbs were coated in dust; these were small issues but didn’t detract from what is a great place to stay. A little attention to detail and this place is close to 10/10.

We Travelled with our 96yr old Mother & we were given a very roomy unit with a disability shower & chair which was really appreciated.
The beds were comfortable with beautiful crisp white sheets.
There was everything that you could have wanted & will definitely be making it our go to Motel as we travel to Tauranga often to visit family.
Very Good

GGuest UserBeautiful clean tidy room. Service was excellent. Very efficient and friendly. The room was quiet and peaceful and had everything we could ever need. Loved that there was a spa bath in the room. The way everything was laid out and the excellent quality linen made it feel nice and luxury. The owners and staff have put a lot of time into makung the room and Motor Inn grounds look special and relaxing. It would be nice if the room had a bit more natural lighting eg one or two more skylights but there was plenty of good artificial lighting so the amount of light in the room was not a problem. Thank You For a Beautiful stay. This will be our number 1 choice whenever we come to Tauranga.

GGuest UserThe so-called breakfast was too poor. It only consisted of two slices of bread, two cans of yogurt, a 200ml box of milk, and a few jams. They were placed in the room on the day of check-in. The key is that the yogurt and milk were not placed in the refrigerator. The so-called motel hot springs are just two tiled pools from the 1970s in China.

LLagasLocation was good, little noisy at night but not to much. Myself and my partner had the family room with the spa. Spa was amazing. Enjoyed late night swims. Very clean and warm

AAnonymous UserBooked a 1 night stay for my family. Communication was great. The room size of the wheelchair accessible room was good. While the bathroom was a good size, the wall fixed seating in the shower was not that great. The seat is at about a 15 to 20 degree angle facing downward, so while showering one has to hold tight so as to not slide downward towards the floor.
