We travelled to Tauranga for a funeral and although the check in time at the motel was 2.00pm,we were allowed into our room at 1.00pm to shower and change in time for a 2.30pm funeral.

10/10 Excellent
This two storey Motel is set - back from the Main Rd around the corner from the lights and hospital. It has a lift to above rooms making it manageable if you have a heavy case.
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.

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...

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.

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...

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The room was clean and tidy. It has great facilities, small in room kitchenette, pool and bbq areas. Supermarkets and shops are close by and easy access to the motorway, so it is in a great location. The staff are very nice, helpful and friendly. We will happily stay again when we return!
