"Our go to hotel always. Beautiful host and staff, our room was very tidy on arrival as it always is, and was tidied very well during our stay. Love the peace and quiet and the main attraction a relaxing spa tub fit for a king at the end of the day. Thank you for a pleasant stay Livingston."

"Loved our stay at the Gin Trap, best part was the view over Tauranga Moana, whether sitting on the sand dunes watching the waves roll in or on the deck watching the kids and dog playing in the yard. House was super comfortable with everything you need and the host lovely to communicate with. Will definitely be back!"

"Amazing getaway yet again. Awesome host and communication. Can’t wait til next year when we will be back 😀"

"Very friendly young male greeted us at reception, lovely smile and made us feel welcome."

" The AWA is a lovely motel in a quiet area, close to the river and the city center. The room was large and well equipped. The bed was a little too soft for my taste, but I prefer firm matrasses !"

"Staff were helpful and congenial, room was clean and area was quiet"

"Thank you so much for accommodating us and our small dogs at such short notice. The place was lovely and clean, great shower, comfy bed and the host so accommodating and kind."

"Pam and Nev were amazing hosts, we arrived to some lovely home baking and a warm and cozy atmosphere. It was beautiful waking up and having our morning cuppas at the lake while my son played on the playground. Would highly recommend booking here if you are after some quite time away from the city with beautiful views."
