This was our last 4 night stay in New Zealand. We stayed in the Penthouse suite. Yes it was more expensive, but worth every penny. Great views !! You can see the beautiful sunsets, and gaze at the stars at night while sitting on the wrap around balcony. There were 3 patio doors in which you could open to let the cool breeze in. Even the kitchen window had a view ! Which made kitchen duties more pleasurable. The kitchen had a gas stove , no oven, microwave, good size fridge with freezer that had ice cubes in it. There were 3 beds.. we only used 1 bed. And it was very comfortable. The bathroom was a nice size, with a shower, no bath. It was so nice we did not want to leave and explore around the area. But we did. There is a beautiful beach about a block away. You can walk for miles. We had a car rental but we did see a bus go by, so we think you could take a bus into town. The manager of this hotel "Rochelle" is very nice, One of the best managers I have met. She was very helpful and always smiled and said hi when we walked by.

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.

    The location of the property was brilliant! Central to Mt Maunganui, short walking distance to the beaches, cafes and shops. The place had a quirky vibe and everything felt very comfortable. Parking was easy as there were plenty of free parking spots right outside and along the street.

    The room was very clean and well appointed. Good little kitchen with everything you need. It had a small dining table and two chairs. It also had two lounge chairs which was great - so often motels only provide one, if any. It also had two bedside lights - it should be a given when the room is being used by two people but often there is only which is very annoying. Shower over spa bath. Each unit appears to have a small outdoor table and two chairs as well which is great.
