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.

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.
