Unfortunately we have been informed that there will be some night road works operating between the 14th of April and the 5th of May (but not on Friday and Saturday nights) on the road in front of our Motel. Ear Plugs will be provided. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This was our last 4 night stay in New Zealand. We stayed in the Penthouse suite. Yes it was more expensive, but worth every penny. Great views !! You can see the beautiful sunsets, and gaze at the stars at night while sitting on the wrap around balcony. There were 3 patio doors in which you could open to let the cool breeze in. Even the kitchen window had a view ! Which made kitchen duties more pleasurable. The kitchen had a gas stove , no oven, microwave, good size fridge with freezer that had ice cubes in it. There were 3 beds.. we only used 1 bed. And it was very comfortable. The bathroom was a nice size, with a shower, no bath. It was so nice we did not want to leave and explore around the area. But we did. There is a beautiful beach about a block away. You can walk for miles. We had a car rental but we did see a bus go by, so we think you could take a bus into town. The manager of this hotel "Rochelle" is very nice, One of the best managers I have met. She was very helpful and always smiled and said hi when we walked by.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Older motel. Friendly owners. Huge 1 bedroom suite. Very clean and well maintained. Lots of gardens and easy ground floor access. Walking distance to shops etc ( across street and bakery etc around the corner ). Beach is 5 mins walk and stretches all the way into town. Main beach and Mount 30-40 min walk but lots of parking along beach if you drive in closer. Can walk or drive via beach front road or Maunganui Rd.

    just an old hotel/motel that is banking of its location. Pool is dreadful - its highest depth (which is the whole depth of the pool) is 1 metre - so you cant even swim in it without hitting the bottom of the pool. beds were comfy but it is just very very tired.

    Lovely property in prime location. Better than the towers and motor lodge next door which are a little dated. Pool and spa was incredible. Really quiet and perfect for our 6 month old baby who slept really well.

    The location of the property was brilliant! Central to Mt Maunganui, short walking distance to the beaches, cafes and shops. The place had a quirky vibe and everything felt very comfortable. Parking was easy as there were plenty of free parking spots right outside and along the street.
