Top Motatau Hotel Reviews

Bay of Islands Holiday Apartments

Bay of Islands Holiday Apartments

10/10 Excellent
"We had the most beautiful stay here with our family of 9. we needed two of the rooms which slept 5 per room. The rooms were next to eachother and when we arrived the lovely host said they had moved the bbqs back so we could easily get to each room via the balcony instead of going out around the front. This was super helpful. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms were as well. Has all the basics you need for cooking, mini fridge, toaster, microwave and jug etc. tv in one room had sky, the other one didn’t but it had Netflix and they both had regular channels. There was good wifi which we could easily access. There is laundry facilities on site, the one for the apartments wasn’t working but they gave me coins to use the other one and it was no trouble at all. The supermarket was a couple of minutes walk away which was super convenient and the beach with a playground just a bit further away. Plenty of blankets, and heaters in the rooms to keep warm and cosy. We loved sitting on the balcony in the morning with a coffee and listening to the birds. It was so peaceful, the location is perfect. The host was super friendly and helpful and so knowledgeable on the area offering great advice on things to do and how to get there. Yes there were a few outdoor bugs in the room here and there but that’s to be expected when you are in the middle of the bush and it wasn’t a bother. Rooms were just as advertised. We really really loved our stay."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Motatau?
The best area to stay in Motatau is directly within the village center, particularly along State Highway 1, as it offers the most convenient access to local amenities and the surrounding natural attractions.

The village center of Motatau is quite small and serves as a central point for exploring the wider Northland region. It's characterized by a few local shops, a community hall, and its proximity to the Motatau Scenic Reserve. This area is ideal for travelers who appreciate a quiet, less crowded base with direct road access to other Northland destinations.

For travelers who enjoy outdoor activities, staying near the village center provides easy access to the Motatau Scenic Reserve. This reserve is known for its walking tracks through native bush, offering opportunities to experience New Zealand's unique flora and fauna firsthand.
When is the best time to go to Motatau?
For most visitors, the best time to go to Motatau is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warmest and driest.

During this period, you can expect average daytime temperatures around 24°C (75°F), making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the nearby Bay of Islands or hiking the local trails. The longer daylight hours also allow for more time to enjoy the natural beauty of the region. This season is particularly good for families looking to take advantage of the school holidays and enjoy beach activities.

Should you prefer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) offer a pleasant alternative. Temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 18-22°C (64-72°F), and the landscape is lush.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
