    Pros +

    • Terrace. Furniture's quality. Bathroom.
    • Good location and plenty of space
    • It’s in such a wonderful location - not too far but not too close to the “main” part of town! We stayed in the deluxe room, and we’re absolutely choosing that room again when we come back! It’s so clean, really and warm. The host was absolutely wonderful as well! Very kind and welcoming and the way he has set up check in/check out is really good too!

    Cons -

    • Somewhat dated
    • There were spiders in the room lmao, but as to be expected when it rains, they deserve to live too!
    • There was no blind or curtain for the kitchen window or glass door, so the light came into the room early in the morning. It didn't matter too much to us, as we needed to be up and out anyway.

    The room was clean and had everything we needed including air conditioning and an outside space to hang our wet togs and towels. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well set up.

    Very clean, comfortable and accessible place. Higher recommended!

    9HilaryPosted on: 2-4-2026

    Property was clean, comfortable, room large and in a good location for bars and restaurants. Staff very helpful.

    Nothing not to like.

    10StevenPosted on: 1-20-2026

    The room was beautiful with high ceilings and super comfy king size bed. Shower was excellent with great water pressure. My daughter slept on the fold out couch and said it was also very comfortable with enough blankets in the cupboard. The little private outdoor area was also nice. Free wifi was adeqaute and the location was walking distance to the marina, restaurants and the shops. I would stay here again. probably the best bed we had on our NZ trip

    I couldn't get the TV to find a signal but I didn't try too hard as I wasn't there to watch TV. I'm sure if I'd asked the proprietor he would've sorted it out for me. Seemed like a nice fellow and was always around the place

    Location

    It’s dated. First impression is important. When we arrived, there was rubbish all over the driveway from a rubbish bin that had lost its top. The reception wasn’t staffed(not really a problem) but the person that I assume ran the place yells from the property next door.“Go inside and look on the list” “what number does it say” “just go there, it’s open”If they refresh the place, new linen, hire someone to welcome guests on check in. It wouldn’t be bad

    Lovely stay at Penninsula Motel. Clean and well laid out rooms. We stayed in a 1 bed apartment. Great facilities, full kitchen and great water pressure in the shower. Nice an private with a small patio to sit out at. Will recommend and come back when we visit Whitianga next time!

    8SanjeebPosted on: 12-29-2025

    Clean and location.

    Slightly small for family of 4 with grown up kids.

    8JoePosted on: 12-29-2025

    I like the location. Easy access to everything.

    Slow internet connection especially when using YouTube on their TV (TV is also connected to Wi-Fi).

    10LaurenPosted on: 12-23-2025

    It was clean, well stocked and maintained. Very comfortable as well. Also well situated close to the wharf, beaches, restaurants, and shops. Lovely and helpful staff.

    Wish there were q-tips available in the bathroom. Very minor though.

    10JenniferPosted on: 12-23-2025

    Close to restaurant within walking distance, quiet, clean.

    Loved everything

    8CarolePosted on: 12-3-2025

    Clean and comfortable rooms, very central location and within walking distance to main shops and beach. Would definitely stay again.

    9SuzannePosted on: 12-2-2025

    A great sized room and nice outdoor area with chairs. We accidentally broke the glass coffee plunger and offered to pay but were kindly told we didn't need to

    10PipekPosted on: 11-28-2025

    Nice, clean and quiet.

    8ShirleyPosted on: 11-16-2025

    Clean comfortable little room. Close to shops and water.

    Very tight little one way driveway in to the property.

    10AksiniaPosted on: 11-14-2025

    It was clean and the owner was very nice and friendly.Perfect location close to stores and restaurants

    It’s outdated - hasn’t been updated in a while

    5NeilPosted on: 10-25-2025

    Although old, the room was comfortable enough, with a separate bedroom and an extra bed in the living area, and a full kitchen.

    The rooms and facilities are very old and outdated.

    9ShameekPosted on: 10-19-2025

    Excellent location, close to all the local restaurants and shops, even the Saturday morning market. Also easy drive to the main Coromandel peninsula beaches. Our 2-room accommodation had all the basic amenities for a comfortable stay, and kitchen arrangements to prepare a meal. The management was exceptional. We were given a roll away bed, as the living room did not have a bed initially, though we expected one.

    The accommodation's decor was a bit dated. though everything was well maintained and cleanliness was not an issue. We did find a few insects in the kitchen area and one of the bed rooms, but I thin it might be because of the age of the property.
