    Really lovely welcoming lady. The room is the cleanest motel I have ever stayed in. Not to mention the location is very close to the central area, with a museum, cafes, restaurants and bars nearby. It's a 10-minute drive to Waihi Beach. I will definitely come back again in the near future.

    Basic Motel clean and basic equipped with all amenities needed close to town centre and local attractions such as goldfields experience and goldfields railway, with coast only 20 mins away

    The motel is next to a main road and all through the night heavy timber lorries etc passed by so disrupting our sleep, not the Motels fault, perhaps we pick a busy time unfortunately

    My mother said it was quiet and peaceful and clean.

    Hotel is a motel, very old outdated invluding bedspreads, blankets, curtains & kitchen utensils.Very basic old hotel, that can get away with the higher rate due to their not being not many options in the area.

    We were given an upgrade to a 1 brm apartment with a king bed. The most comfortable bed was much appreciated.

    The location was fantastic.The room was clean and well equipped.

    The shower in the bathroom needs a bit of work.The shower head seems to be blocked, and the water pressure was extremely slow.

    Good central location - although a few noisy trucks on the road in the night. Clean and spacious.

    Excellent location. Just a couple of minutes walk to the town centre and next door to a supermarket. Great cooking facilities. Fantastic staff.

    Good location, we were doing the Hauraki timber trail so it was only a short cycle to the track. Also a short drive to Waihi beach .

    7KarenPosted on: 10-22-2024

    very clean, well furnished and cared for, with all the equipment needed for a comfortable stay. it had some nice touches not available in some places...hooks to hang things on, covers on chair arms, simple stuff. Great parking. nice private table out the back door in downstairs unit.

    for the price, it was better than we expected. pillows typically uncomfortable but that's normal!

    Our stay at the Waihi Motel was a delightful surprise. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the motel's friendly and welcoming owner. Her warm hospitality immediately made us feel at home.The motel itself was beautifully clean and well-maintained. The rooms were comfortable and inviting, with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. While the decor might be a bit dated, it didn't detract from the overall cleanliness and functionality of the facilities.We were particularly impressed with the amenities, which were all in excellent condition. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bathroom was spotless.Overall, our stay at the Waihi Motel was fantastic. We were so comfortable and impressed with the quality of the accommodation. We would definitely recommend this motel to anyone visiting the area and would happily stay there again in the future.

    There was nothing that we did not like.
