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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We loved staying here. Our hosts were so friendly and they have made the motel into a lovely location, with the rooms bright and airy, plenty of space and everything you need. The garden was a nice spot to sit out and enjoy a drink. Just wished we could have stayed longer but we were passing through.

This motel was located on the main road into town and across the road from the RSA. The studio room had a very high ceiling which made it seem spacious but without the portable fan it would have been very stuffy on the warm day we arrived. The bathroom was tiny and the shower head needed to be fixed. Although the owner showed us to our room on arrival she allowed another guest to hog the departure time and I was not able to tell her about the shower head.

We had a three night stay in this motel and it certainly ticked all the boxes. The location was ideal with a short walk into town to the many cafes / restaurants / bars. Also, there were plenty of parking spaces on site. The room was spacious with a double and 2 single beds. There was a kitchenette with the necessary appliances etc. The bathroom was large with an excellent shower. There was also aircon which we only used on 2 occasions. We made use of the spa / hot tub every evening. The owners/ managers were very laid back and efficient making our stay a very pleasant one.

Anyone considering using this establishment should consider this before booking. Our flights were canx by Air NZ due to cyclone Gabrielle throwing our plans into chaos. We wrote a polite message to the motel requesting a waiver of the deposit we had paid as this was totally beyond our control. This is the response we received from the 'customer caring' team there _ ...."you wont get a refund from us... you prob have pre paid with booking.com... we cant even see a booking for you on our system"
Absolutely appalling.

Had a great stay during school holidays. Clean facilities and was able to have children in a separate bedroom.
Enjoyed use of the spa pool and my son loved seeing all the Lego displayed in reception.
RSA across the road but we ended up going into town for dinner which is only 2 mins down the road.

Our family got together in Whangamata for a special service and we all stayed at South Pacific. Jenny and Glenn were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They could not have done more for us. The rooms and complex are great, very clean and the rooms are lovely with very comfortable beds. We would highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful little stay & wish we could have stayed longer but only popped down to visit my partner who is working here for the week. The bed was so comfy (like a cloud) the room modern, clean, the lush surroundings felt like you were elsewhere, the suite we had was perfect with the gated private terrace and patio great on a sunny arvo, cute touches with mini chocolates in room + the service provided was kind, personable & easy.
Lots of parking.
Close to town. Had a hot tub!!
will definitely be back in full swing nz summer hopefully
