Pros: CBD convenient location, tidy, spacious, friendly staff, free parking. You can just leave the car at the motel and walk every to go for dinner. Room has nice spa bath. I accidently left my phone and they sent it back to me. Cons: Some family rooms are connected to the next rooms with lockable door. The door is not sound proofed so we could hear the neighbor's very loud snoring and coughing all night. (Another time we stayed we did not have this issue because there was no connecting door) If you want milk you have to ask for it or they will not give it to you. Issues were minor and we would stay again.
John and Tui are great hosts, rooms are clean, quite and good size rooms, has the amenities that you need to cook free parking, very close to restaurants, bars and cafes. Will always stay there when visiting Tauranga.
Spent the weekend at harbour city motor inn and love it! The rooms are spacious and immaculately kept, the location is perfect with everything on your door step, literally a 10 second walk away from all the restaurant, shops and entertainment. Although considering its so central it was super quiet and relaxing. The owners are absolutely lovely, went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. We arrived later than expected and we made a slight mix up when we booked online but they were happy to help. Will definitely come back again soon !
Whilst Tauranga is lacking in large international hotel chains, the local establishments more than make up for it, specifically the Harbour City Motor Inn. I stayed here for 6 days around Christmas, and can't fault it. Comfortable beds, great amenities and perfect location. Easy access to Tauranga city, and to Mount Maunganui (5-7 minutes by car). The rooms are serviced well every day, and I can say the experience was little different from an international quality hotel.
Great stay, very quiet considering we are in city. Lovely host, couldn’t do enough for us. Gave us dinner recommendations also. Our studio unit was very clean.. Bed comfy. Efficient air conditioning. A few minutes walk to many restaurants and waterfront.
The Room is clean and tidy. Absolutely Loved the spa bath. When we booked in the owner showed us to the room and explained all the places we could go to for a meal etc. She was very helpful. Will definitely come back.
Our room was lovely and spacious for 3 people. The beds were comfy with plenty of spare pillows. The AC unit was easy to use and made the room nice and snuggly warm super fast. John and Tui were a lovely couple that were invested in making our stay as comfortable as possible. Thanks for the warm welcome! the one and only downside of our stay was the noise from the constant buses coming and going outside our roadside room. Part of city living and nothing to be done about that and good to get up woken early to make the most of the day anyway! Would happily stay again. Oh and wifi was some of the best we have had in NZ. No glitches, great reception. We were able to stream quite easily
My wife and I stayed in a studio unit at Harbour City Motor Inn Tauranga for 3 nights in February 2020. The studio unit is very spacious and more than adequate for a couple. The location is very central and within walking distance to the shops, pubs, restaurants, waterfront etc. The facilities provided, in my opinion, are excellent and there was nothing further that we would have required. It has a very well equipped kitchenette (cooking hobs, microwave, toaster etc) a HD 43 inch TV with most sky channels including most sport and movie channels. The double bed was very comfortable, the room was clean and well laid out and the spa bath was most welcome. Tui and John are excellent and friendly hosts who are very accommodating, thoughtful and helpful. In my opinion this was value for money and we will stay there again without any hesitation should we visit Tauranga in the future. Highly recommended. Thank you so much Tui and John.…
