Quality Hotel Oceans Tutukaka

Quality Hotel Oceans Tutukaka

10/10 Excellent
"We arrived late at night and called ahead as checkin is only to 8pm. They left us easy instructions to get our room key. Our room was a lot bigger than we anticipated and very clean. We were impressed with the quality and easy checkout the next morning. Tutukaka, the town itself, is very sleepy and it was a bit tough to find an early breakfast, but very beautiful and serene."

"Lovely spot and a great setup for family. Our dog enjoyed his stay and nice to have the property fenced off. The road is a little windy and steep in places but we got our motorcross trailer to the house no worries and good amount of space to maneuver it around. Karen was great with the comms and process was really easy."
