CitySide Hotel Tauranga

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional stay – highly recommend! We had an exceptional stay at this motel and couldn’t fault it. The location was incredibly convenient, with shops, restaurants and the movies all close by. The room was extremely clean, comfortable and wonderfully quiet. The host was lovely, friendly and welcoming, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into all the little details to make the stay as enjoyable as possible. There was also plenty of parking with a JetSki in tow, which was a bonus. Everything exceeded our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, quiet and well-located place to stay!"

Summit Motor Lodge

6 on Adams

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay, very comfortable and has everything you need. Handy walking distance to cafes etc"

Tower Road Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The price was right, and the accommodation was close to town, however, not really easy walking distance, but a very short drive. We went to Hobbiton from the information center in Matamata by bus and found that very convenient. We ate it a little restaurant where there was a guitar player, entertaining in the front, and shared fish and chips, which were very good. The hotel was perfect for our needs. It was a bit small in the hotel for the first night that was when the key was in the door on arrival. Everything was easy. Slightly dated, but clean and comfortable."

Pacific Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Location is great to everything. Place needs a bit of work as it’s starting to age, and noise between rooms could be an issue. Staff were very friendly and helpful"

Quest Mt Maunganui

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean. Staff are amazing. The place very quiet and safe with easy access to all the restaurants that are around highly recommend."

Oceanside Resort & Twin Towers

10/10 Excellent

"The check-in process was really simple, especially considering we checked in after reception closed. Room was clean and very spacious. The pool, hot tub and sauna were very pleasant. Walking distance to the beach. We will definitely be back!"

Quest on Durham

8/10 Good

"The room was large with a large spacious bathroom. The room was on the ground floor and overlooking the street which made you feel looked in to. Some sort of blind or lace curtain would give a bit more privacy. The option for underground parking was great. It had everything we needed and was very warm. There was building work going on on the building next door however we did not hear anything and it did not disturb us at all."
