Top Waipopo Hotel Reviews

The Grosvenor

10/10 Excellent

"No faults whatsoever. Treated like royalty by reception staff and bar staff. Great parking facilities. Definitely would come back. Thai restaurant Som Tom close by is best Thai we have ever had."

The Sea Breeze

10/10 Excellent

"Bright, friendly and modern ( with an historical twist) this venue was a lovely stay. From the moment we checked in we were welcomed and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely views of the Bay and easy access to the beach, walks, gardens, restaurants, bars and the CBD. Only recently opened (March 2026) but has a bright future."

Andorra Motel

10/10 Excellent

"One of the nicer motels we have stayed at. Basic but has everything you need. Well maintained, clean, quiet and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend."

Aaron Court Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely and quiet even though on the main road. We were able to check in early, which was very much appreciated. Easy parking and within walking distance to foods and the penguins."

Bay Viaduct Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, very welcoming. Reception gave a map to help us plan our trip south the next day which was very useful. Oh, and within walking distance of penguin nesting across the park."

Coastal Ridge Apartments

"Excellent"

ASURE Scenic Route Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful very spacious very large living and bedrooms. We slept like a baby and it was a self sufficient stay with a proper kitchen, milk stocked, coffee etc. etc. The TV were a bit outdated as they weren't connected to the Internet which could have been better but overall, fantastic property and a great overnight stayer if you are heading to Christchurch to catch a plane or have arrived in the evening at Christchurch and are heading to an alpine retreat"

Asure Ashley Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Well above expectations. Great to have 2 separate bedrooms. Very spacious unit. Highly recommend."
