I have stayed at the Academy on a number of occasions with my husband when he has business in Tauranga. It is the perfect location for him, but apart from that, we find it to be a very good Motel, however, with the new owners Gladys and Kelvin, we have found that it has stepped up even several more notches....

Friendly welcome, lovely clean room with great amenities. We booked direct after looking at the website. They had an excellent special rate for a two night stay which included two cooked breakfasts both mornings. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and hot. Was such a bonus. Really enjoyed our visit, nothing was a problem to the hosts, a phone charger... More

Noisy road, noisy neighbours, no smoke alarms.good location but very busy road with police driving 140km past at what seemed like all through the night. Expensive Internet and cars parking very close to your room. The TVs are old and the place needs a bit of a make over to make it up to the standard.

Stayed for one night while holidaying in Tauranga. On the plus side, lovely unit - clean, modern, good facilities. Great TV, lovely bed (quite firm though and mightn't suit everyone's taste), spacious unit, lovely bathroom and nice deep bath. The service was particularly good - the manager was lovely and went out of his way to make us feel welcome.... More

Not where I usually stay in Tauranga on business as my favourite motel was fully booked. I wouldnt agree with the self rated 4.5 stars, in my opinion more like just scraping through on 4 stars. Happy with the room which was clean and neat with good furnishings and a comfortable bed. Didnt like the shower which was in the... More

We booked on Wotif and was upgraded on arrival - lovely surprise. The room was nice and quiet despite being on a major intersection (easy to find). Very comfortable king sized bed, great little kitchenette and good bathroom. The owner was lovely and very welcoming.

We have stayed here several times and had booked at New Year for three days. Unfortunatly my Mother got ill and we had to cancel. They did so at no penalty even though they could have probably sold the room numerous times before we canceled, which is why we will continue to stay there when we go to Tauranga. Great... More

We made a last minute booking so didn't no what to expect but were pleasntly surprised. The place was immaculately clean, staff were friendly and helpful. Plunger coffee and REAL milk (not those silly little punets that hold about 1 teaspoon of milk) and decent sized coffee mugs. The linen on the bed was quality and we slept like babies.... More
