I found this motel on the tripadviser website, my previous experience with these motel/hotel ratings were great but this one is really disappointing. Pros: - Good location and friendly Staff - Some harbour view Cons: - Bad value for money - Small space, don't even have room for a couch. - Somewhat dirty: my wife noticed spider web on vent... more

Stayed two nights in Tauranga which proved to be the big bonus surprise of our NZ trip. This motel has good facilities in a lovely quiet location- our groundfloor room had a balcony with a view over the very attractive estaury - and was within 15 mins gentle stroll of the restaurants and bars of the waterfront, This is an... more

I stayed for two nights for a business meeting and was very impressed with this motel. The waterviews from many suites are nice. The staff were friendly without being intrusive. The units are very well cleaned and maintained. My bathroom only had a shower, but otherwise was fine. The short walk into the Tauranga town centre is pleasant. At night,... more

We stayed here in Feburary 2007 upon recommendation. Our room looked out on to the water. My wife enjoyed the Spa Bath and the service of all staff was tremendous. Dwayne the receptionist was fun and made our stay even more pleasurable with his sense of humour. Lyn the night receptionist was helpful with choosing resturants etc. Only downfall was... more

A cleverly designed website leads you to believe that you are booking into luxurious accommodation at a bargain price. The rooms are large and spacious but in need of modernisation. They are let down by poor quality wardrobes and light fittings. No "see through" walls for our shower rooms. Just a very standard room with a wooden sliding door. Receptionist... more

Very clean room and amazing views from the balcony over the water. $195 is about £70 - if this property was in a comparable location in... more

Stayed here for one night in March 2006. Booked via i-site in Tauranga, an easy way to book accommodation in NZ. Were allocated a ground floor room - just about had sea views! Room very spacious however, with balcony and kitchen facilities cleverly hid behind what looked like a wardrobe unit. Duty manager Duane (and indeed all staff) very welcoming... more

I agree completely with the previous guests comments. The room was clean and spacious, great view of the water HOWEVER I would not stay here again purely because of the washroom situation. Not only is the door to the washroom glass it was not even frosted glass just slightly tinted. How's that for privacy. Also part of the bathroom wall... more
