Featuring a swimming pool, an indoor spa pool, and a tennis court, this motel and conference centre offers stylish and comfortable accommodation with free Wi-Fi and SKY TV, less than 10 minutes' drive from Tauranga city centre.

Lovely room, very clean, good facilities. The laundry room was an added bonus, just $2 per load use the honest box in the laundry. It was warm and sunny outside so I was able to dry my washing outside on the line provided at the back of the building. A dryer was available for a further $2. I made use of the swimming pool, it was a little cold, but it was a sunny day and afterwards a dip in the hot tub was wonderful. Situated close to nearby shops and the city was about a 15 minute drive as long as you don’t get stuck in traffic, which built up at obvious times around 2:3pm when children are beginning to come home from school and again at 4:30ish pm when people were driving home from work. Lovely staff on hand to make your stay as comfortable as possible. When we arrived the key fob that is inserted to get the electricity supply was broken and the lady in charge, sorry I didn’t get her name, went out of her way and beyond her working day to sort a temporary fix out. She apologised profusely for the temporary fix, to us it was not an issue at all. She then booked the election to come out the following day to fit a new device. This lovely lady then came to check that everything had been done properly. What a star, thank you so much.

Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    Whilst booking.com confirmed my reservation, the motel’s office hours were until 6pm not 8pm as advertised online. Arrived at property and no one at reception and after hours number did not pick up the phone. On a busy weekend no other place available in town, very disappointing.

    The room was immaculate. And even though it's right on the road, I didn't hear any traffic noise. Also, although I didn't use them, that there was a washer and dryer and all the little extras are something I'll keep in mind for future stays, of a longer duration.
