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.
What an amazing place right opposite the beautiful beach at Whitianga. This was my first visit to the Coromandel and the hosts made me feel so welcome I will definitely be returning. I was in Room 6 which is a 1 bedroom and it was lovely, so clean and tidy with lovely decor (I love the red accents!!). Parking right at my door so easy to get in and out with my bags. There was a DVD player and a whole library of DVDs to choose from at reception. The rooms were very warm and welcoming but the best bit by far was the POWER shower omg it was the strongest shower I have ever been in. They supply all the shampoo, shower gel and hand wash you need which is great if you forgot to bring any like me ;) I went for a walk on the beach each morning to watch the sunrise (it is so close just across the road) and I was so lucky to be able to see Dolphins on the first morning. This place is a must stay and the owners are so lovely. You won't be disappointed. Other extras were massive continental breakfast each day, free Wifi, recycle area, BBQ area and quiet setting with comfy beds for a great nights sleep.

Our family of three stayed in Bayside Motel Whitianga for the last week of school summer holidays in 2022. We can not fault this place. From an excellent location, proximity to the beach and town, friendly and attentive hosts, to clean, modern and well equipped rooms. Off street parking, large bathroom, very quiet AC. Thank you Robyn and Warren for helping us with the medical issue we were suddenly facing and with recommendations of places to visit. We felt very welcome.

Look it’s a motel, it has the basics. It’s located on the north side of Whitianga in a quiet end of town on the main road. There are no views as your behind the front building, but that also means no noise from traffic. The beds are comfy enough, place was clean and was a nice stay

The location of this property was perfect as we don’t want to drive further away after our tour. Parking though adequate is a bit tight, there’s not much space to manoeuvre especially when driving out. Also there is no lock in the toilet in the room we stayed in so we had to find a way how to make the door stay shut.

The owners were friendly and take great pride in their property. Very clean and well presented with all the amenities you require for a comfortable stay. Just a short walk to the surf beach and 2 minute drive to cafes and bars. They also highlighted the unique places of interest. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

These apartments are opposite the beach and a few minutes from town so away from the crowds and noise! Rooms are spacious, clean and modern. Fantastic value for money. Wifi is fast and continuous. The owners are so friendly and helpful.

Last minute booking. Wonderful hosts, very clean room, comfortable bed and fantastic shower. Swimming beach right across the street. Beautiful walk down the beach to shops and restaurants for dinner. Everything is fairly close and easy to access.

Had a very comfortable stay at this nice motel, really nice and cooperative owners, spacious room, modern furniture, fittings, and fixtures, slightly tight but dedicated parking space, and a decent location. They also offer free EV Charging on the 7KW Charger installed at the front of the motel. Managed by the owners this place has been kept up really well and has a very new feel to it. Below is the detailed review:
Location: This is located outside the town so it’s a minimum 4~5 minute drive from the town center, while a 45 minute walk along the beach and highway. It’s located right on the highway so you have to be careful and patient while getting in and out of the motel with your car.
Rooms: Five stars for the rooms. The room is very spacious, accommodates a large king size bed, as well as a single bed that was big enough to sleep two young kids. The mattress and pillows were soft and comfortable. The sheets and the entire room was super clean. There is a small dining table setup, a flat screen TV with sky cable. There is a fully stocked kitchenette with microwave, toaster, and electric kettle. The room was fully stocked with cutlery and dishes that were also very clean and newer. The room is carpeted so after returning from beach it’s better to step in with bare clean feet.
Bathroom: The bathroom was also spacious, modern fittings, and a separate shower cabin. The water pressure in the shower on a ground floor room was really nice. They have fixed shower gel and shampoo dispensers in the shower cabinet which is good. The wash basin water pressure was little off as it splashed upon opening though, needed to be very carefully and slowly opened to avoid splashing. Ample towels were provided that were in good shape.
Parking: Each unit has 1 parking space, for ground floor units it’s right in-front of the room, for first floor unit, the owners will guide the guests to park in certain spots at the front of the building. The entrance to the parking is narrow, and once the parking lot is full it gets tricky to park the car, especially if the first parked vehicle is long.
Staff: Both owners are on site, and are super helpful people. They were really helpful to arrange a smooth after hours check in. Warren also took out time to explain about the area and guided us on the scenic spots towards our upcoming journey.
Additional Things of Note: They have a 7KW EV Charger fixed on the front of the motel in the owners driveway. Please make sure to call the owners in advance and let them know you need to charge your vehicle. They will ensure the spot is available for you when you arrive. Although it’s a slow charger, but the best part is that they provide charging free of cost. Although the town has fast electric charging points available at a 5 minute drive, yet it’s great and convenient to charge for free while you sleep. The motel is at almost a 45 minute walk to the town center, yet it’s a beautiful walk along side the beach. The closest food and drinks point is also in town so same amount of drive or walk is needed. No convenience store or dairy is located near this place. Overall it’s a very safe place to stay and walk around.
