We booked a 2 bedroom unit and couldn't be more happier with the choice of motel. Very clean & spacious, lovely accomodating hosts, takeaways and mini mart right across the road, super convenient location to Baypark Arena. Had a morning of Op Shopping which were all very close and Bayfair Mall just down the road. Will be rebooking for next year.

Close to Bayfair & Bay Park and easy driving distance to Mt Maunganui & Tauranga. If a swim is required the beaches are just around the corner and a couple good quality cafes a short drive on your way to Mt Maunganui along the beach road.

It was a nice place to stay. Was a little cold in the loft as the only heater was downstairs but the electric blankets made it bearable. Would not recommend for solo female travelers because there was no manual lock/ deadbolt on the door. So the only lock was the keycard lock.
