We decided last minute to stay at this motel, were pleased we did. The room was spacious with a good little kitchen. The decor could be upgraded it was a bit drab, but for an overnighter it was great.

Friendly, comfortable, convenient, modern studio room - all the best things about New Zealand's motels are found here. Great shopping just a stroll away and some fantastic restaurants. No complaints at all, but....our only disappointment was in the name - which gave us to believe you could actually see the Bay of Plenty from the room. However, getting to the... More
