We stayed here for 2 nights. We found the apartment exactly what we needed. Its right across from the water and is easy to find. It had a hugh shower and a spa bath with jets, good kitchen with all the equipment you need in it and they even gave us a carton of milk. It was very quiet, we... more

David and Diana run an awesome operation. We were delighted to have returned on several occasions. Our visits included five visits to different Belle Mer properties each with their own set of joys. We intend to return often and would have no reservations about highly recommending anyone's next visit to the Belle Mer. more

Stayed 2 nights (Mon-Wed) in Feb in a 3 bedroom apartment for NZ300 a night, plus $20 for a cot total. We had 4 adults and a baby and the apartment was huge and had everything you could need. We had the floor apt on beach so own balcony with bbq and table/chairs which if standing can see over road... more

We hadnt prebooked this part of our holiday as we (rightly) assumed availability on a weekday out of school holidays in April would be ok. David and Diana were very friendly and offered us a great rate (business had quietened down and they started their winter rates early so we only paid $240 a night) for a 3 bedroom apartment... more

We chose to stay here as we could not find a decent hotel review for Rotorua - so drove another 1.5 hours to get here instead. We were glad we did, as the area is super. A great beachside town, nice atmosphere, super beach, nice pubs, restaurants. It is a great little resort on its own right. Belle Mer is... more

Oh boy- you will adore this marvelous hotel in Mt. Manganui, North Island, New Zealand. We had a HUGE 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment right on the beach (you do have to cross the road with almost no cars to get to your personal, uncrowded absolutely pristine beach). My god, this place was quite a find- the master BR was... more

This place reminded me of ritzy resort beach areas in the U.S.A., without the hype or craziness. Perhaps it's because we were there in winter (which was still lovely albeit a bit windy), or perhaps the nature of the place lends itself to a relaxed yet upscale stay. I loved that we could walk anywhere...to shops, to restaurants, to "the... more

The Belle Mer was a delight to stay at and gave us a nice relaxing time at the end of a busy touring holiday. We had booked only days prior but still received an upgrade to a top floor apartment with beautiful fixtures and fittings throughout. Our kids especially loved the new big TV and the spa bath! The apartments... more

Our party of five adults spent four days at Belle Mer at the beginning of February, then two of us spent an additional 12 days there at the end of February. Our first unit was a ground floor three bedroom /two bath unit (plus a great patio and barbeque); the second was two bedrooms and two baths (with a great... more
