The central location made it easy to walk to supermarket, for dinner and to get to the beach. The pool was clean and a good temperature, and the kitchen well stocked with appliances, plates, glasses and cooking dishes.

It would have been nice to have had a double bed in both rooms.

Amazing location, so close to all the cafes and shops and beach. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Our kids loved the tennis court and pétanque and the pool/ spa. Beds and pillows were super comfy! Sky TV was a real bonus. Looking around at other options this was really great value for money. Staff were very communicative and helped us out when needed.

The pool is really deep the whole way along so make sure you pack some floating devices for young children. There is the shallow toddler pool for really little ones though which is great. The downstairs apartments are awesome for proximity to the facilities but kids running around upstairs can sound like elephants.

The location was great, right on the main street. There is a tennis court and swim pool. The stuff was super friendly and helpful!

In the wind, some extremely loud noise was coming from the roof which made sleep impossible. It was very disturbing. The fridge door was dirty, I had to clean it off. The bed cover had some obvious stain, it looked like it hadn’t been washed at all. The kitchen tables and chairs were very old style and so as the living room sofas and table. The place would look and feel much nicer if they were upgraded.

Room was great. Ground floor, next to the pool. The Motel is lovely. Very clean with all amenities including communal laundry, pool, spa, tennis court. Room was a moderate size and comfortable. Kitchen was clean. Has a hot plate but no oven. Staff were lovely. Location is right on the main street so easy to walk to shops, groceries, restaurants etc. Would stay again.

Dining table is in the small kitchen so can be a pick pokey, but easy to work around that. Pool is not heated, otherwise our kids would have been in it all day! Pool are is lovely though. The Fire station is right next door and the alarms do go off which is very loud and frightened the children a few times (Like many areas in NZ, Whangamata is a tsunami and earthquake risk area, and warnings about what to do if you hear the tsunami warning siren are everywhere, so the kids were a bit concerned when they heard the fire alarms go off briefly).

Great location and fantastic amenities! Pool was clean, tennis equipment supplied, great spa and sauna too. Short walk to both beach & town. Couldn’t go wrong really. Alot bigger than we anticipated. A plus there was a gym we could use, despite being a very short walk away, it was fully stocked and tied into the price which was awesome. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Slight confusion with booking through here so best to book direct potentially.

Stayed for 2 weeks. First apartment didn't have an oven or fridge freezer (small fridge only). Asked Managers if we could change. No problem at all, moved next day. Great apartment. There during first cyclone so saw a lot of rain through the large windows. People still using pool. Great family resort. Perfect situation on the main street of Whangamata.

The weather!

Love love LOVED the property. Everything was beyond immaculate and of amazing quality and finishing in the apartment, kitchenware was so well stocked and the beds were so comfy, honestly comparable to the beds in a 5 star hotel. The pool and spa was such a massive bonus for us too. All so gorgeous. What an absolute gem of a site. Can’t wait to come back!

staff were lovely and very helpful. Rooms and grounds were also lovely and clean, tidy.

Big swimming pool was too deep for the average person (2 metres). We couldn't touch the bottom which would be a problem if you wanted to use the pool with small children and the parents/adults couldn't touch the bottom. This could be dangerous.

I liked how big the rooms were, I liked that everything you needed from tv, to cleaning supplies, to an AC to a bath and a shower to comfy sofas - everything was available for you. the staff were so helpful, there was just no fault. i travelled to the north and south island over 23 days, this was the best place I stayed at for value for money, size, amenities, privacy, and cleanliness. I don't write reviews but I had to for this place! If you're tossing up between places, don't. PICK THIS!

Fabulous place to stay. Lovely pool, spa and tennis court. Great location, easy walk to shops and restaurants. Clean and comfortable unit. Very well set up kitchen, infact the best out of any motel we have ever stayed in. Plenty of bowls for chips, dip, salad. Platters, lots of pots and pans. Big fridge and freezer. Loved our stay here!
