Review of Beaches Motel
2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 22 Feb 2020via mobile
We hired three units for our group. Rooms were spacious though prices were at higher end. Sadly the plumbing in particular is diabolical. Water temperature was totally impossible to adjust to body heat. Electric heaters in line with probably uneven pressures & 2 taps. The bathroom tap was nearly impossible to turn off & again water temperature was difficult.
One hotpoint had a dicky switch.
Zenbu WiFi was it's normal near useless state, kicking on & off, limited data etc.
Poor value for money. If you book - get a shower somewhere else.

        Once again Beaches Motel provided the peace and quiet needed. The hosts are super accommodating, leave you alone, bend over backwards to provide you with whatever you need. Room well presented and bed super comfortable.

        It’s a very good choice for Waihi Beach. We stayed in Unit 3. The rooms and cooking facilities are good. The wifi is very fast, Netflix is included on the TV. Every unit has a parking lot next to the door. It’s within a walking distance from the beach. I didn’t like the taps and sinks, not easy to use them properly. They are simply too low.

        We stayed here as a family of 4 for 3 nights. They had a port-a-cot for our baby as requested and was a very fanily friendly venue. The rooms were clean and tidy. The only issue we had was the towels were not laundered as the sign in the bathroom said (leave in bottom of shower) and the taps were a bit odd which made filling the kettle near impossible. Other than that it was a perfect relaxing beautiful place to stay and we will definately be returning on our next trip to Waihi Beach.

        Traditionally furnished NZ motel , a hop skip and jump from the sand Sadly rained while I was there so no unusual forms of locomotion could be attempted Relaxed friendly owners , I made use of the laundry facilities , drying rack provided so well equipped Long ish 20 mins plus walk for food , worth taking the car The local pub has perfectly acceptable food but the RSA is said to be better Good wifi , after a bottle of beer I snuggled down under the quilt listening to the rain and slept well
