Our family of six needed two rooms. They were beautifully appointed, very clean and welcoming. An old building that was beautifully, characterfully presented. A great location. Very welcoming hosts. We couldn’t fault it.

Hi Sarah, Thanks for your review and for choosing to stay with us. Glad you found the rooms comfortable and clean. We will pass your feedback on to our housekeeping staff who pay special attention to preparing the rooms for each new guest. They know they are an important part of the hosting team at the motel.

If you make the trip in summer you can get to use our kayaks and stand-up paddle board in the harbour just 40 metres in front of the motel, kind regards, Athol & Lorraine.

Hi Nathan, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for your lovely review. Glad you enjoyed the refurbished and renovated rooms. The bathrooms and kitchens were all replaced as part of our renovation program. In winter the heat pumps are a welcome addition, we try our best to make people feel welcome by putting lights on and heating the rooms in winter when you have been out all day and may not be back by sunset. We look forward to hosting you again if you are ever back in Tauranga. kind regards, Athol & Lorraine.

Great location being a short walk to the city, and to a nearby park. Rooms are refurbished. Very comfy bed. As others have said, absolutely spotless. I had room 6 which had lovely views out to the harbour. A bit of road noise until around 10.00pm in that unit, but then nothing until 7.00am ish - so that is fine. Immaculately kept grounds. Owners very much pride themselves on their property. Would be happy to go back there.

Hi Kirsten, Thanks for choosing to stay with us and for your feedback on your stay. We do appreciate that and we will pass that review on to our housekeeping staff who know that they play an important part in preparing the rooms each day for each new guest. We have loved doing the renovations and redecorating. The key reason when we bought this motel was the location just 40 metres off the harbour's edge and the public reserve with the boat ramp for launching the free to use kayaks and paddle board and of course the sunrise views over the water. kind regards, Athol & Lorraine

Although it's an older style motel the units have been updated. They are spacious and absolutely spotless. There is a very short walk to the waters edge. Town is walking distance. The service is absolutely outstanding and the prices affordable. Highly recommended

Hi Explore, Thanks for your GREAT review, it is much appreciated. Yes, our older 60's style building was completely gutted and refitted with new carpets, new kitchens and new bathrooms. It was then given a modern decor and paint job then finished off with aircon/heat pumps and 50+ channels of SKYTV. We bought the motel for it's location just 40 metres off the inner harbour edge in this little quiet cul-de-sac in a residential neighbourhood. We look forward to the privilege of hosting you again should you return to Tauranga and the Bay Of Plenty, all the very best for the 2022 New Year. kind regards,
