Find Hotels in Whangamata, New Zealand

We booked this motel at the last minute, having found out about the Labor Day weekend holiday, and so we did not expect a lot, in the belief that the best accommodation in the town would have already been taken. We were wrong. This was probably the nicest motel we stayed in during our 3 week tour of NZ. Outside appearances of the motel are deceptive as it does not look much from the road, but once inside, we got the cutest little attic "suite" with cosy sloping ceilings, and a separate bedroom, which we did not expect at all. The rooms were bright and airy and had a very modern feel. The bathroom was new and immaculate. One tip to the owners; if you moved the table and chairs to under the window, there would be room for a small sofa or couple of armchairs, which would be appreciated for a longer stay.

This b and b was in a perfect location by the beach. The hosts were very nice and allowed us to borrow beach chairs, etc during our stay. Everything was very clean. Our room was a loft with openings to the main space (curtains to close it off) which took away a bit of privacy. However there are only 2 guest rooms so it isn't very busy or noisy. It was a bit hot since it was summer and there was no ac or fan.
