We stayed here for 1 night, we had two rooms as teenagers had own room. Older motel and could do with a modern update(especially plugs by mirrors for hair dryers etc) however the vicinity was great. The private spa was nice and the spa bath in the other room was great. The owners were friendly and helpful. Would stay again

Hi Peter, Thanks so much for your kind review, we certainly try to be the best hosts we can. Unfortunately when you had to rush your wife to hospital in the early morning and your little dog barked and the couple in the next room became very upset and have posted a scathing review about us on another booking site....

Thank you so much for squeezing us in over the Easter vacation when we were only staying for one night. We found the unit spacious, well set out and clean. The kids (and us) all enjoyed the hot pool on site.

Thanks Susan for your great review, I'm sorry you were sleep affected by the road noise in that unit, we are getting a film put on the glass in that and one other unit that are adversely affected by being the last rooms on thier respective blocks and therefore close to the road, this should fix or least greatly reduce...

Stayed for 5 nights, with a groups of others. Owners were very friendly and helpful. While we were there the complex was fully booked, with a few late night "get together's" with about 8-12 participants, although this the Owners kept a smile on their faces and didn't complain, where other owners would have been not a tolerant.

Our family stayed in a one-bedroom family unit. The layout was ideal for a family, with three beds in the bedroom upstairs, and two more in the living room downstairs. There was a compact kitchen that covered all the bases for basic meal prep. The hosts at this motel are very friendly and will go out of their way to... More

We have family in Tauranga and this was a very convenient place to stay. Spacious and comfortable units, we had a one bedroom unit. There is a lovely heated pool too. This motel is a little older in style but makes up for that in service, comfort and convenience. Good value for money and close to most sites and activities.

We couldn't have asked for better accommodation. The 2 storey units suited our team perfectly. They were clean and roomy. Owners and staff were extremely accommodating. They allowed us to move furnishings to suit our needs, provided all that we needed and were very friendly. This accommodation is close to both QEII and the TECT arena, so a great place... More

At NZ$130 per night for two of us it seems quite expensive though probably it's the "going rate" and I'm used to getting more bang for my bucks outside of New Zealand. The unit (kitchen, dining and sitting room in one and a small separate bedroom) was clean and tidy but basic. The private small thermal pool was hot and... More
