My grandchildren and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If my grandchildren could they would have lived in the pool. The owners were extremely helpful and very friendly which enhanced our stay!
Thank you for making our stay memorable! My grandchildren raved about staying at Kauri Park 😊
We’ll definitely stay again!

Location is great, it was a spacious clean room with a very comfortable king bed. The air conditioning was fabulous as it was 31 degrees outside. The pool was lovely also with a lovely outlook.

A perfect start to our NZ experience. Despite a delay in our flight getting us to our destination late, the motel staff were so understanding and confirmed they would be waiting for us. On arrival, we were greeted in the most friendly and welcoming manner, and given directions to our room. The next morning, staff were only to happy to direct us to the local attractions and way to maximize our day. Dinner that night was a treat, food wonderful, service excellent with the personal touch of being...

Loved the Motel and our room. The incredible panoramic view from both rooms was wonderful. Great little self contained kitchenette which we loved. Sky Satelite TV a big bonus. Easy & safe car parking. Across the road from the Ferry wharfs and main shops area very close.

We loved our stay at the anchorage! The facilities were great and staff very friendly. With a beach view and only 5 minutes walk into town it was the perfect location!

Motel was fantastic, friendly owner, room was tidy and clean, kitchen had mostly everything, would suggest a mixing bowl. Queen bed was firm (I liked it), single beds were slightly softer (kids liked that), swimming pool was great - could have been warmer though on the colder days but was just perfect on the hot days, I would describe it as 'tepid' rather then a warm pool. Spa pool was lovely and warm. The outdoor area near the pool was fantastic for our family to sit around and chat while...

My husband and I enjoyed this accommodation immensely-views across the water were outstanding.
We also enjoyed the location, being away from the main strip but within an 8 minute walk.
Friendly service.
