Top Hikuai Hotel Reviews

Coastal Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay. The accommodation is conveniently located just North of Thames. It is a short five minute drive into town. The view from the room to the sea is nice. The room is spacious. The balcony/deck - which also connects to the neighbouring rooms with a table and two chairs is nice and spacious, too. We do like the small kitchen to prepare our own breakfast and fridge to store chilled and frozen goods. The staff is friendly and accomodating."

Waterfront Apartments Whitianga

8/10 Good

"It was a great location."

Albert Number 6 Motel

8/10 Good

"Liked the updated decor, accommodating our earlier checkin time assisted our reason for visiting Whitianga. Would have appreciated a washup basin for dishes"

Tasman Holiday Parks – Hahei Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Just such an awesome spot right next to the beach, beautiful!"

Blue Marlin Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"The unit was incredibly clean, home instructions clear, easy parking, and in a great location. Would highly recommend these rentals."

Pacific Harbour Villas

10/10 Excellent

"What a great little place to stay. Lot's to do around Tairua, so you can easily fill a day. And the best bit, you can bring your dogs too. That's what made this stay Excellent."

Tairua Shores

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and property."

Harbourside Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, short walk to town, has everything you need"

Tatahi Lodge Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super cute and the amenities in our studio were better than I expected. The onsite laundry was a big plus. The location is great - a couple blocks to the beach, not far from the Cathedral Cove track, and a ten minute drive to Hot Water Beach. There’s also a store and cafe next door. Highly recommended."
