Spent our first night as Husband and Wife at Waihi Beach Lodge. The room was flawless, tastefully decorated and supplied a relaxing environment from a long and busy day. The Room was in a spotless condition with rose petals and a bottle of bubbles on the bed and a personal note from the Hosts. The bathroom was fitted with modern... more

We have just returned from our fantastic trip to New Zealand, where we stayed for 5 nights at the Boatshed, a lesser-known accommodation in an area known mostly as a Kiwi summer resort. We as Americans were an anomaly, at least in the shoulder springtime season of October, and we were approached several times by warm yet curious New Zealanders,... more

Although the hotel was clean and tidy, it did have its bad points. It states on the website that there is a queen size bed, but it is only a double, and to make it worse, the mattresses are so soft, the roll together makes you get no sleep all night. The spa pool was not hot enough, and the... more

I was struggling to get accommodation last weekend, which was in the middle of our school holidays here in NZ and then I stumbled across this wee gem. It's a cute Spanish-style motel in a perfect location - slap bang in the middle of Mount Maunganui ("the Mount"). Taking a step out the door literally means you are about 15... more

A nice big room, spa bath well presented and clean. Really comfortable bed. Great breakfast. They run the White Island volcano tour which is well worth going on we really enjoyed it. They exceeded out expectations by a mile. more

Excellent Stay owners were great and helpful room had alot of extras and the beds were great :) will be going back more

Stayed 2 nights in the Oceanside Resort (not the towers) Sept/Oct 2008. Rooms were outstanding with plenty of room and room for a family of 4 if needed. Kitchen facilities were faultless. Nicely situated at the foot of the mountain. The only mild annoyance was the construction of a high rise across the road which hindered the views. Walking distance... more

Stayed a night in a Premium Water View room. Nice room with a shared balcony. This was a shock to our neighbours sitting on their balcony in their bathrobes! Hotel is first class. Located on the water next to industrial port facilities. A major eyesore. Area is apparently earmarked for a facelift which cannot come soon enough. Reception staff were... more

I booked my stay through Wotif.com. My husband and I accompanied our teenaged daughter to a National Classical Singing competition in Tauranga. Rather than travel back and forth from Rotorua and risk being late for competition, we booked a lovely looking serviced apartment at the Mount, for 2 nights. We only needed to stay for one night, but I booked... more

Always stop by when on the West Coast around Westport more

Very Good Service, pricey -great if you love seafood. more

I was recommended this hotel in Tauranga for its fantastic position close to town centre, and it could not have been more perfectly positioned - great restaurants within walking distance, room wth a view of the water and Mount, spacious spa bath, flat screen TV, and excellent staff. The decor is understated and elegant. Perfect attention to detail.Lovely shopping in... more

Hotel is right in the main street of Tauranga but is very quiet. I was there for business and could walk everywhere. Very secure hotel with small lobby at the front entrance and swipe card car garage at the rear. Staff were welcoming and friendly and their service throughout my 2 day staff was excellent. Room was very modern with... more

We spent one night at this property in August 2008. We found it via the official NZ tourist website and faound to be the only place offering a minimum standard of accomodation between Tauranga and Gisborne, on the Pacific Highway No. 2. We were pleased to find a nice and confortable two King bedrooms cottage ( just one cottage, yes,... more

Very nice hotel. Great location you are right in the centre making it easy to walk everywhere. Good value for $150.00 NZ per night including a cooked breakfast for two. Room nicely decorated with modern amenities and was a good sized room. Bathroom spotless. Would stay here again for sure. Reception staff very friendly and helpfull. more

Clean & comfortable motel at a good price. The breakfast service is highly recommended - great food. more

We booked two nights at the Trinity Wharf to celebrate a special occasion. The whole experience was a pleasure; the friendly, efficient front-of-house staff, the spacious, elegantly decorated room, wonderful harbour views, and a delicious meal at the hotel restaurant. We had booked the Premier Harbour View room which totally lived up to the name. Waking up to the sunrise... more

Really unique experience unlike anywhere we have stayed before - and just what we needed to end our holiday to New Zealand more
