The owners are lovely people. The room was the cleanest room we ever stayed at. There are no common walls between the suits so pretty quiet. Parking is right in front of the room which makes it taking things in and out of the car easy. Beds were comfortable and each bed had an electric blanket. Aircon took only 2 minutes to warm up the room. The only downside was having only one sink between the toilet, shower and kitchen. The same sink is used for washing hands, brushing teeth and washing...

There rooms are spacious and impeccably clean.
Adjacent to the Motel is a pharmacy and cafe.
A couple of blocks heading towards the city is 2 Supermarkets.
We found this complex a great quiet place to stay in and recommend it, if you prefer to be just down the road from the city centre.

Apart from the fact the house and gardens are stunning, we were so well looked after, what was supposed to be a local base for a 3 day work trip left us feeling like we had been on holiday for a week. The house and rooms restful, food heavenly, and the host treated us like old friends. We we definitely return!

Right across the road from the beach, large, spacious and well appointed apartment. The lap pool was heated which was a huge bonus for the kids in winter. Very convenient and free parking

I recommend asking for a high floor and a harbour view - we were on the 9th floor and it was amazing. Just gorgeous, room was great, clean, warm, well stocked, great big comfy beds.
I couldn't find a remote for the TV in the bedroom, so didn't use it which was mildly irritating (it was after 8pm so I didn't want to phone after-hours staff to ask, and turning TV on the button on the side, I couldn't get it to show the right AV channels or whatever set up was required, so I just watched in the...

This was exactly what I needed for my weekend away. Close to Tauranga but out of the city. The accommodation was clean and had everything I needed as well as some thoughtful touches. I would definitely stay here again.
