The rooms were clean and comfortable on the inside. The property on the outside was very unkept. Driving in made me very worried. The owner was very helpful and was helpful with beach towels, dining advice and grocery shopping. Overall our stay was pleasant. Easy walk to a small town. Lots of walking trails and drivable ocean beach.

Was a pleasant stay. Lovely area. Steven was really helpful and Friendly. Room was tidy, bed comfortable. Nice having a deck to sit on. Maybe change the tea. Was weak and horrible. Just spray the weeds and the property would look so much better. Would stay again.

No one to greet us on arrival just a note on window of reception! Have stayed here a lot and since new owners the grounds have been left to grow weeds even the little patio off our room. Shower was shocking - water temperature up and down then totally cold and with no pressure!

Terrible motel, Will not recommend at all
Way over priced. We paid NZ$254.20 for 1 night on Dec 26, 2019. Will only rate the Motel as 1 or no star.

Ms. Dolcie Dauphine Yang, Wow, everything seemed fine when you guys checked in/out and you wanted to rate us as 0/10 anonymously. There is a brand new air conditioner, espresso coffee machine, a clean and tidy room, a private patio etc..Why don't you say how much you are willing to pay so we can get a 10/10? Just so you know, 26th Dec is the day after Christmas, and it's also a public holiday and staff gets holiday bonus, and there's commissions and taxes included in this rate as well. Happy New Year and please be kind to other motel ratings.

We were in an attractive and quite spacious studio unit with a courtyard. The decor, including artwork, was pleasant. We had a couple of malfunctions with appliances but staff dealt with this immediately - and cheerfully. The unit is close to the estuary and a short, lovely walk into the townshio. One slight problem is ventilation in the bathroom. To air it you need to open the windows which are right beside the drive/path to the office so with the windows open other guests or staff can see in. Perhaps security stays on those windows are the answer.

Hidden away, this property was run by a very pleasant young couple. The accommodation, with moderate space, has been partly upgraded (as you see on the web page, the bathroom is an open concept and our unit had a newer tile floor). Just enough room to have open two suitcases and not much else. The patio furniture was not pleasant at all, but the patio area did provide a quaint ambience. We did not cook, but even at that, there was very limited equipment (down to the point of not having any forks in the cutlery drawer). The TV sheet said 7 channels were available, where you could only receive 5. The bed was very comfortable and a freestanding fan was the only means to stay cool. Overall the price was much more than what I expected for the lower quality of accommodation. Again, nice folks taking care of the place, but they could do better, or charge less.

Well located hotel near bay and ferry jetty
Pleasant hotel near to bay and ferry jetty to other side. Close to shops and town facilities. Great place to start a walk around the beautiful bay. Rooms 1 to 4 have semi-private little gardens behind them. Rooms 5-8 have small private gardens behind them - see photo.

Sweet little suite in Tairua!
The suite/motel room was SUPER clean. No water view, unfortunately, and no A/C (no screen windows either) so you had to kind of air things out while the sun was out (and the mosquitos were gone!) but a cute little spot and good value.
