    Clean, comfortable good sized room in convenient location not far from seafront.

    No air conditioning but there was a large floor standing fan.

    8Hilary C.Posted on: 2-15-2025

    Easy to find, nice and quiet. Picked because of reviews and had a good nights sleep.

    9SimonPosted on: 2-8-2025

    Stayed one night. Small quiet motel. But easy access between car and room. Water pressure in the shower needs checking, but otherwise good stay.

    Easy to find. Clean ,had everything we needed

    We were frustrated upon our arrival that the reception was closed and a posted sign saging to call them. As an international traveler, I did not have my "Home" and was not able to call them. Went next store to the gas station and was able to call. They had sent an email, but we were out all day and did not check email. All was sorted out and easy access to our room.

    8ChrisPosted on: 1-22-2025

    Clean and spacious

    Just a bit too far from the beach and the town to be able to walk

    8Liz P.Posted on: 1-22-2025

    Great location for everything in the Mount. Great hosts, very clean and comfortable. Loved the communal garden area.

    As per other comments, very dated but it is very good value for money in the Mount

    8FenellaPosted on: 1-19-2025

    Close to the supermarket and a little kitchen in the accomodation so could make some home cooked food the night before the Tauranga 10.5km run. Accomodation was available for the dates we needed. Games to play in the garden were good to keep little people happy.

    No bath but didnt bother us much as the hot pools not that far away.

    7KenPosted on: 1-15-2025

    All good location was good for me room nice and clean comfortable bed a good kitchen facilities.

    Car park was a little difficult to access and get out of.

    8KavithaPosted on: 1-13-2025

    Good location. Spacious. Supermarket right next to it. Mostly quiet. Manager was nice and friendly.

    No AC; only a big pedestal fan - was rather hot during the day. Shower pressure was rather weak, which was perhaps our biggest gripe. Wi-Fi bit spotty at times, and internet speed was slower than expected.

    10KevinPosted on: 12-29-2024

    The location was perfect! A minute walk to New World and 5 minutes walks to the beach. ? I think it’s bit pricey for a dated facility but if you consider the location and how spacious the rooms are, it’s totally fine. Parking is just in front of the room which is great. Will book here again if we get a chance to be back in Tauranga ?

    A bit dated.
