Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We have stayed at Puru Park twice over the last two years, once as a group of 5 and once as a group of 6, complete with a boat each time. We love it's close proximity to local boat ramps and Thames township. The units are spotlessly clean and whilst and older motel it is roomy and comfortable. The owners Tim and Maree are lovely and so helpful and very tolerant of us taking over their front lawn for our use each visit. Great value for money too. Would highly recommend.

Easy to find Motel just off the main highway North of Thames. Easy walk to the sea and local dairy and take away right next door. 8mins by car to Thames and the shopping Mall. Friendly motel owners ready to give you all information on the area. This Motel is clean, comfortable and good value for money. It was a really busy time when we stayed there and or though we were in the end unit close to the road it was quiet. We (3 ladies) were on a working trip and we came from three different areas, there is only one parking space per unit so two cars we parked at the Hall to the side of the Motel. Beautiful beaches around, will go back next time to enjoy a holiday.

I stayed here in March 2017. We were on a business trip in Thames and just tried to find something BUDGET. I found this motel by their website. However, the price that is stated on the web is no more accurate.
First impression, it is a quiet place. I was kind of wrong thinking Te Puru is close to Thames and some reviews in Tripadvisor also said it is THAMES but then realized that it took us 15-20 minutes to reach this place. However, the view along the way is GORGEOUS. You can see many bays along the way from Thames to Te Puru.
The owner is so friendly, they even let me to check in early because my husband needed to attend a meeting in Thames by noon. So even it was not 2 pm yet, they allow me to get to my unit.
First time I entered the room, I LOVE IT! It is spacious, and I believe 130 NZD for this unit is really worth the money. I also love the small garden they have and the view from my window. They have ARTS!
The wifi is not too reliable though, even though it is free but I have found better in other place. The shower is not too powerful that makes my shower a bit dull. Other than those two things, I LOVE THIS PLACE!
Some units do have a great backyard that will be really a nice place to sit. And because it is far from Thames, you got the feeling of soothing in a quiet place.

We stayed for a night for a friends party, sadly only for one night...would have happily stayed all week! Owners were super friendly and rooms were nice, spacious and very clean. Too bad we didnt discover this place sooner...but will be where we stay when we are back this summer!

Stopped here for 4nights, very clean, well organised units. Friendly staff. Great kitchen. Perfect for singles, families and couples. Great TV. Easy to find, local store a walk away and more shops and restaurants only 10mins drive. Beach a short walk away. Would definitely come back.
