On the plus side, the accommodation was close to the main shopping area in town, very clean and tidy, and the manager was a pleasant chap. However, the room was very small - little space to move around and terrible lighting, especially if you are older - it was quite dim. There was nowhere to put an open suitcase other than on the bed. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were over-stuffed and unpleasant to sleep on. The staircase to the first-floor rooms was very narrow and steep. There was no dining facility, and while there were a few restaurants within a few minutes walk, we found none that provided breakfast. We have stayed in better hotels in other cities for a lot cheaper fee.

Relaxing and peaceful
My husband and I stayed here for 1 night as part of our trip. The room was lovely and very modern. We had a king suite which was perfect for us. Staff were very friendly too. It’s a handy location to walk to the bars and restaurants and shops. We will stay here again…😊

We overall had a great room and space. We did notice there were two different housekeepers, one cleaned paid attention to detail, the other cleaned the room but did not do as great a job. We enjoyed our stay overall as it is in walking distance to most restaurants and the venue for our conference. Would definitely recommend it for anyone staying in Tauranga.

Beautiful clean accommodation, within walking distance to town. We were very impressed with everything, and the front desk were proactive in contacting us ahead of time as to where the key would be left if the desk was unmanned. We couldn’t fault a thing here, lovely to see EV charging stations too.

Very satisfied with how my partner and I’s weekend went with the hotel. Nice and comfy bed. Beautiful lighting and the smart tv was really handy. Real close to town but quiet enough to not hear town. Big shower was nice. Great room overall. Not sure if description said noise proof room but definently could hear a dog barking and a bed squeaking lol. Still loved the stay regardless😊

Great stay in a modern central motel
Great modern motel. Centrally located. Chosen mainly because of the EV charging which is amazing. 6 chargers available.
