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?
