Top Motatau Hotel Reviews

Dolphin Motel

Dolphin Motel

8/10 Good
"The Dolphin is a comfortable motel to stay. We had the 2 queens bed with balcony and it was very comfortable. The bed was great. It was fully self contained so for the price it was great. It's in the quieter area of town away from the pubs and noise and close to the police station which helps. Easy 8 minute walk into town and the same to the beach. We have already booked for another stay here in December."
