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.

On a month long road trip of NZ this was undoubtedly the best motel we stayed in. It does not appear to have been open very long consequently all footings are in excellent condition. Fairly central so lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Can’t recommend highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely hotel with new and modern facilities in a good location. Also spacious and clean rooms with a nice view! The bathroom was a bit small for the size of the room (executive room). However would definitely rebook if we’re in Tauranga again!

The room was new, the decor restful and creative. Peaceful and quiet yet in the middle of the city. We had a view of the water. Extremely clean and a great choice of teas and coffees. The soaps, shampoo, conditioner and body lotions were of a high standard. Great value for money and would definitely stay again.
