Good views from a very spacious room. Owners are very helpful. The motel block is obviously old and there has been some work undertaken to try and bring it into the 21st century. It doesn’t take long to see its age though, eg the cupboards in the mini kitchen area give a 50s, 60s feel. It was clean and we... more

Thank you for your comments. The motel was built to a timeless design in the late 70’s, and has been through many upgrades over the years. The kitchen cabinets are now next on our list of “to-do‘s“. Regards, Angela

After reading previous reviews, we were really excited about coming to Coromandel. Well, we arrived in rain and it poured the whole time we were there. We thought the room was okay - certainly nothing special as others thought. We felt it was dated and the walls were thin. We kept hearing the person in the next room coughing. The... more

We appreciate your comments, though we were sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your stay in Coromandel. In reply to your comment re the “thin walls’, this was a real surprise to us, as the walls are 8inch thick solid concrete. We have taken on board your comments re the cost of a load of washing for $5.00, and will...

Stayed here for 1 night during our travel through the Coromandel. Upon arrival we knew we wanted to stay longer. The rooms were excellent and the view from the balcony unforgettable. It's truly a gem in the coromandel. The best hotel we stayed in during our trip. Angela arranged two tours directly upon arrival, so excellent service. Would recommend it... more

This place was a real find. I sent email requesting a room, and they didn't have one in the main hotel but offered me two nights in the private bach house out back, basically a small, one room cabin overlooking the hotel. It was beautiful, clean, private, just perfect. It was incredibly relaxing. Additionally, you can take a short 20... more

We spent the first 2 nights of our 3 week visit to NZ at this motel - couldn't think of a better place to recover from the jetlag! Extremely comfortable, lovely verandah, charming and helpful caretaker hosts, stunning sunsets. more

We stayed for 1 night, 11th November 2008, on our tour of the Coromandel. The room was excellent & the view of the sunset across the bay was stunning. Angela & Iain made us most welcome. This was our 1st night of independent travel in NZ & we were spoilt because other places where we stayed couldn't quite match up... more

At the end of my recent visit to New Zealand I treated my friend, her fourteen year old son, my god daughter and myself to a weekend stay at the Harbour View Motel. Between sitting on the verandah drinking wine and sitting in the spa tub we had the most relaxing time. The unit had a twin bedded room and... more

We spent 5 days at the end of a tour of New Zealand. The motel was clean, well appointed and easy to find. The locum site personnel were very helpful and the information pack highlighted all that was to see in Coromandel. Don't miss the Gold Stamp Museum! Local restaurants with excellent fish dishes were plentiful and the walks in... more
