We booked a two bedroom Motel unit and were pleasantly surprised by the amount of room we had. There was only two of us but this unit can cater up to 7 people. The lounge area was well equipped to entertain family members who visited with two single beds and the kitchen also had everything you need to prepare meals... More

We stayed here for 2 night having intended to stay just one. Spending 6 weeks in NZ its fair to say we had a good degree of experience of accommodation at every level (always well above average). This place is a very nice motel which was head and shoulders above other motels in its class. The accommodation is spotless with... More

We stayed in 2 rooms (one 2 bedroom and another 'normal') both rooms had everything needed to be self sufficent - even a coffee plunger and ground coffee! The 2 bedroom easily sleeps 7 with space.

We arrived planning on staying just the one night however after a very warm welcome from our hosts and seeing our very well equipped room we decided to stay longer. The rooms are super clean and very well appointed with great attention to the little things. As a few people mentioned the motel is near a road but unless you... More

We had two nights at the Tourist Court over Easter. The rooms were spotlessly clean and had everything necessary for an enjoyable stay. The proprieter was very pleasant and lent me a bike to ride along the cycleway/walkway that runs along the riverside into town. We had two rooms near Landing Road which is very busy and the traffic noise... More

Spent the night of Dez. 25th 2012 at this motel, because we failed in making a reservation at a B&B in Whakatane. It´s situated far away from central Whakatane and right on a busy main road, therefore quite noisy.. Rooms are o.k., but will need some refurnishment. Gladys was very helpful in reconfirming our White Island- reservation. All in all... More

My Mum & I had the pleasure of staying with Gladys & Kelvin recently. As we both use walking sticks they helped us with our luggage when we decided to take a larger unit upstairs. We were very impressed with the cleanliness & the extra little touches. A very friendly couple that work hard to keep to a high standard.... More

The motel owner was extremely pleasant and helpful, the accommodation of good size with everything required for a short or a long stay. The one downside was the fact it was next to a fairly busy road BUT... More
