Very clean, and spacious rooms. Everything I needed was available. Heat pump for cooler evenings which kept the room cosy. Nice windows to let light in with blinds for privacy. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Will stay here again soon. Thank you.

This was the only accommodation we could get into for first 2 nights of our trip to Tauranga (just post Christmas) but our 2 bedroom motel room was clean, spacious and cheap (relatively) with a nice large bathroom. Close to a shopping mall and a quick drive into Tauranga. Basic but ideal for 2 adults and 2 adult’ish kids.

Room tip: Parking in front of motel door was useful

Loved our stay. The rooms were very clean, tidy, spacious and the bathtub had a jacuzzi. Spa was lovely felt like we were in a resort. Not to mention the playground at the back, the kids loved it. Receptionist was really friendly and nice. Very helpful too. Definitely will be coming back. Thanks so much.

From my perspective, this motel ticked all the boxes. The rooms were grouped around a courtyard which was set back sufficiently from Moffat Road that traffic noise was not an issue. The room was spacious and bathed in plenty of natural light. The room facilities were excellent. A full range of cooking utensils was provided which enabled me to benefit from the two ring hob and microwave oven. The bathroom had ample toiletries and the shower supplied hot water at a good speed. Being 400 yards from a major district shopping centre meant that food shopping could be done on a daily basis so that I always had fresh provisions.
The guest laundry was useful. The cost was reasonable and the efficient wash and dry cycles were not over long.
Comprehensive cleaning was undertaken daily with towels and even dishcloths and tea towels being changed each day.
The staff who I came into contact with were all polite and helpful.
The location 300 yards from the main SH2 highway meant that there was easy access to the expressway and on to the centre of Tauranga and Mount Maunganui.
If in the area again I would look to book this accomodation.
Highly recommended.

Them rooms are quiet clean and comfortable. All the utensils, cookware, and dining ware that we needed were there, Though we were too busy to use them, there as a pool and tennis courts. We did use the television and free WiFi. A large shopping center with a lot of good eating places is only a 8 minute or 4 minute drive away.

About the 4th time I have stayed here for work reasons over the years & every time have been a satisfied customer. On a busy main road, but well planned so no road noise. I am a light sleeper, but slept like a baby here- this place has excellent blackout curtains, comfortable bed and pillows and not a peep of noise coming through adjoining walls. Heat pump & small kitchenette. Clean and fresh crisp linen. Friendly & welcoming person on reception. Eateries just over the road, so a good spot.
