Just a word of warning. My husband and I booked and paid for a unit 5 weeks ahead and the email from the Motor Lodge stated that it was a "Studio Unit top with Seaview". However when we arrived at 3.30 pm on the appointed day we were told that that unit was no longer available and we were offered... More

I've never stayed in a motor lodge before, and had reservations. We rented a cabin, with two bedrooms and a kitchen. It even had a couch. After a couple of weeks of traveling, it seemed like a mansion. Aside from having a bit of an odd smell, it was great. It was nice to have the extra room. One downside... More

Having booked blind our first impression when we arrived was, Oh! as the external look is very 60's. However, our unit, was immaculate, modern, with a very good king size bed and a tasteful decor. We had unit 16 which another correspondent has also stayed in and it's as good as she says, open and spacious with outside decks. Sure,... More

At first I have to say, that I can't understand the meaning of the person below, because in my opinion Sonja was very friendly and the rooms werde perfect. I will go there again this december with my friends, because I think that they also should know, how beautiful it is there. nice greatings from spain.

This motel was very nice and the hosts were friendly. The whole service at the lodge was perfect and we enjoyed our stay. Sonja and Maurice were generous and gave us good tips for sightseeing around Ngunguru. We will come back again soon! Greets from Italy!

We stayed at the Tutukaka Coast Motor Lodge while on Holiday in Northland. I have got to say this is one of the best places I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. The rooms were immaculate, both host and hostess were very hospitable and even arranged a Fishing trip from the nearby marina for My Family at a... More

nothing exciting, just an average motel, but the Lady at the reception (I assume it's Sonya, she didn't introduce herself) was able to show her rude management style described in other reports before immediately upon arrival. Too bad we had booked in here. I didn't read the reports before, but shou d have, then I wouldn't have been so upset.... More

My friend and I stayed at the Tutukaka Coast Motor Lodge for two nights in early March 2009. We had the top floor room over the office, which was fantastic. We had an outdoor seating area and a view over the water. The room was clean and neat. We were very happy with the accommodations themselves. Before we went, we'd... More
