10. Bennetts Tauranga Motor Inn

Tauranga South

"We had a wonderful stay at this motel. Everything was exceptionally clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We stayed in a room with one king-size bed and two single beds, which was perfect for our family. One of the highlights was the thermal spa pool located just behind the room. It was so relaxing to soak in the warm thermal pool after dinner—it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The bathroom is a little dated, but it was very clean and the shower had great water...

Quest Mt Maunganui

8/10 Good

"I was fooled by the photo on the website that it is walking distance to the beach. However you can still walk to town in 25mins. The bonus is laundry facilities in the room. I was surprised to find out that the price has dropped to $200 instead of $250 p/night if I book on the day. That makes me not wanting to pre book anymore."

Blue Haven Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome everytime time. Great parking for our big truck and New World over the road is one of the best in NZ. The deli is restaurant quality. Beach is super close, 5 minutes walk and has the best sun rises. Staff very good as well. Cheers"
