We checked into a waterfront view unit for three nights.
Newly refurbished, these are spick and span and had great views of the estuary.
Shops and restaurants are an easy stroll from this motel but you will need a car to go over to Mount Maunganui. 
Staff are very friendly and welcoming and I loved the local toiletries in the bathrooms. Its good to see these showcased in lieu of generic products.
The kitchenette is ok for very basic self catering only which makes them perfect for a short stay.

Perfect for a short stay

I was disappointed in the overall offerings of this town in terms of accommodations. The campsite had the best location and maybe an AirBnB would have been wiser (maybe..  The room was clean, but kind of stuck between a modern renovation and the 1970’s.  The walls were thin as I could hear next door’s jacuzzi tub running.  Some of the parking spots were very tight with little space on either side.  Of all the places I stayed at while we jumped about this was the poorest.  It could also be due to the nature of the place and being a larger town.

Stuck between a renovation and the 1970’s.   The laundry mat was useful

The room was the cleanest, I've stayed in motels NZ And  Australia this checked out to be the cleanest.loverly comfortable soft bed.reception lady most accomadating.there are great views of harbour and walking distance to shopping 

If you’re looking for a relatively cost effective & easy place to stay - this is your place. Absolutely lovely view! Room & bathroom very clean & tidy. One gripe is that the bathroom door is not actually a door, but rather a screen that doesn’t actually close shut. Very noisy. Luckily we are heavy sleepers so it didn’t bother us too much, but could hear upstairs guests walking around and talking most of the night. Would stay again for the view & cleanliness! 

Awesome view & cleanliness

A very pleasing stay. First off the customer service on arrival was so friendly warm and welcoming. Received an upgrade to the executive king suite with waterfront view and absolutely loved the room. Was so spacious and had everything you need for a stay away from home. The place was exceptionally clean also and a first for me was finding the wonderful little make remover wipes in the bathroom. Will definitely be the e place I stay when in TGA and can highly recommend it. Thank you

Home away from home

We had a lovely stay here - we had an upper room overlooking the bay, full plate glass windows to catch the view, and a room with a king bed and two singles, should we have needed them.  Reception staff were so welcoming and friendly, and it’s situated not far from the Main Street, which was useful for restaurants and shopping.  It’s still a drive to Mount Maunganui and the beaches, but do-able except in rush hour over the bridge.  

The bed was comfortable, and the room was quiet, with lots of space.  So, really, nothing to complain about except the weather!   The first of the Auckland storms came through whilst we were there, and affected Tauranga.  Nothing like sheeting rain and high winds belting against the plate glass windows!  

Seriously, though, everything was good - the guest laundry machines were clean and efficient, and respectably priced as well, compared with some hotels.  Thank you for a great stay.

Great stay!

VERY comfortable bed and pillows
Very friendly, professional & helpful staff
Very clean, tidy room
Wished the towels were a bit thicker
Wished they had Nespresso machines for a decent coffee…
Great location! Close to city centre and beach….

COMFY FOR A SHORT STAY

A lovely stay. Breakfast left every day. Room cleaned every day Beautiful location. Very comfortable beds and a free parking space. Nice to have a little kitchen area. Nice range of programmes on the sky tv. The best place I stayed during my 3 weeks travelling  around New Zealand. Nice spa bath and great range of toiletries and air conditioning was very much used as was nice and warm during the Christmas week.

A week over Christmas 2022

We stayed 2 nights. Rooms are spacious and clean. Very good shower and spa bath. Large comfortable bed. Good linen. I really liked having coloured flannels and hand towels because i always feel bad staining whites with my makeup.
This hotel offered high quality nz made complimentary accessories, which always rates highly with me.
Milk came in reusable glass bottles.
The complimentary tea was nz made chainui. The coffee was  ground plunger Tuatara which is fair traded.. complimentary  nz nuts and biscuits. All the shampoo, conditioner and washes were made in nz , Matakana.

We had a room with a little balcony over looking the estuary, on the ground floor. We paid extra, but feel it was worth it. A bonus was being able to watch a kotare come and go as it fed it's chicks in the palm tree outside our room. There was access to the water via steps leading down to the estuary.
Staff were friendly. Easy parking pretty much outside our room.
I would be very happy to stay again.

Loved all room accessories were NZ made products

Excellent place to stay.  The room was spacious and very clean, the views were stunning, and the bed was very comfortable. Vanessa on the front desk could not have been any more friendly and was really helpful. We would definitely stay again and would recommend it to others.
