The property was exceptional clean. The owners made me feel very welcome. The property is well kept and even though I didn't use it the pool was very nice.

Good
Room is looking somewhat tired; quite noisy, the main road outside is a magnet for hoons at the weekend; couldn't enjoy a cup of coffee before I left as the milk provided was off, but I was told no one else had complained.....
very clean and modern rooms spacious easy access to the pool and spa kids enjoyed all facilities including the selection of board games
maybe just the cleaning staff could be a little less loud in the mornings our room was right next to washouse and storage room and got woken up rather early every morning to staff arriving and banging around in there
Very comfortable, clean room, and the swimming pool and spa area provided great space for relaxing.
Good location, nice room and friendly staff.
Clean and tidy, friendly, helpful staff.Only 500m from the theatre we were attending.
Good location, easy to find. friendly staff, nice and clean
Very welcoming, very comfortable, great facilities and had a great sleep. Kids loved the outdoor pool even on a short stay during the rain!
Great Motel in Tauranga, comfy beds, very clean, block out curtains, good water pressure in the shower, Sky TV - Happy customers. Will be back for sure.
Liked everything, just be aware it is next to a main road so a little road noise is to be expected, this is not a negative comment we were very happy with the level of noise we had.

Location to hospital was good
Electric blanket not working on left side. No 3 now channel available.Noisey tenants after midnight.
Very spacious rooms - heaps of space for two adults and two kids. Everything very clean. Beds made with crisp sheets. Easy to maneuver a big car in the car park. Close to town & 1min away from food choices. Two tvs in both bedrooms. Huge bathroom with a bath and shower.
The pipes are a bit noisy from our own unit. If someone needs to go to the toilet in the night, it pays not to flush as it wakes the whole family up.
Perfect spot with great access in Tauranga
Room was very cold but once we got the heat going. No worries
Clean and great parking
A bit noisy on main rd
