Best hotels & accommodations in Tauranga
We used this hotel for our wedding night which had originally been planned for a Friday. But due to inclement weather being forecast for the Friday we decided to bring the wedding forward to the Tuesday. Both the hotel and Agoda responded to the change of booking without any issues. The room was clean, well equipped, spacious and with a great dual aspect view over the ...
Very nice hotel. Clean and spacious. Room had a kitchenette which made even more convenient our stay. Tauranga was for us the most appealing town in the north island of New Zealand. A most.
It was our first time staying in Tauranga and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff at Hotel on Devonport were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We couldn't get over the location and how close the Hotel was to everything. We stayed in a Suite and it was well worth every dollar. We loved the double spa bath - so relaxing!! The Sky TV. The room was equipp...
This is great hotel to stay at when visiting Tauranga. It is centrally located, but most of all it is a spacious and comfortable hotel. The bed we had was extremely comfortable, and each morning we woke well rested and ready for the day. There is secure off street parking, which is a bonus. The management are friendly and on the ball. We had a fire alarm go off while w...
We stayed in a family apartment which was clean, cozy and well-equipped. There were washing machine and dryer in the bathroom, water pressure in shower was strong and the water was hot. The apartment was very nice with small balcony to sit out on. Great location, close to mount and beach and restaurants etc. The place has a secure car park directly underneath. Highly ...
We were only there for one night so was suitable for the night however wasnt alot of room once i put the portacot up in one of the suites it would of been fine, the room was clean, tidy and everything worked well
I was leery. It looks like a motel. Not the best connotation in the US. I did not know the Tauranga area. However, I would definitely recommend this place. Rooms are large and bathrooms great. It is clean and clearly redone . not too long ago and kept up. Tiny pool is actually great to lay out at as no one around. Mt Maunganui is alive and the hike up the mount...
This apartment was excellent. Had everything you could need and made it all so easy. Could have benefited from ceiling fans but that would be my only gripe.
The new owners, Kedy and Alex, were so happy to greet us and tried extremely hard to please us, and they did just that. Our room was booked last minute and the owner told us it was a warm room, but that was the hottest room in the house due to its location. The fan helped a lot. The breakfast was great. Hot scrambled or fried eggs, bacon, ham, sausages, cereal, yogurt...
was not what I expected!! it was lovely.. room was a perfect size lovely little outdoor seating area bathroom looked like it has just been upgraded and the staff member who served me was brilliant!! it is also located so close to town and the beach. I will definitely be booking here again over the summer months
We were on our honey this was one of many hotels we stayed in in New Zealand. The rooms were clean and very big, carpet a bit worn and lifting in one area. But overal a great place and location
Excellent stay. Right next to the base of the Mount and the beach directly across the road. Excellent cafes next to hotel and the Main Street with restaurants, bars and boutique shopping an easy 5 min walk down the road.
this is the best accomodation you can find! genuinely friendly kiwi family as hosts, nice spa and pool, 5 min from the beach, you can't get any better!
Absolutely brilliant accomodation possibly the best bed I have ever slept on - fantastic staff - will be my only stop in Tauranga in future
The room was spacious, well appointed and very clean! The electric blankets were lovely and the kids got great use out of the heated pool even though it was the middle of winter! Lovely friendly hosts and right next door to two shopping complexes! If I needed to stay in Tauranga/Mt Maunganui again I would definitely return!
Anchorage Apartments are in a fantastic location, have great facilities with all that you could need for a wonderful stay. You are able to walk to wonderful shopping, restaurants, cafes, beaches and thermal pools. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Apartment was very clean and well appointed.
We had such a wonderful stay here. The place is luxurious and deserves five stars in all categories. However, more importantly, Kay is such a gracious hostess. Her simple but elegant cooking won our hearts. And not to forget Freddie, we felt sad leaving him and I'm sure he was sad as well, seeing us saying goodbye. If you want to have a truly romantic getaway in a luxu...
Enjoyed the stay. staff friendly happy to point out things to do places to eat. motel fresh new and had all the equipment to make it a pleasant stay. A 5 minute walk to range of restaurants and main shopping center but still felt like an oasis in the middle of suburbia.
being a frequent traveller with my family, we have stayed in plenty of motels across OZ & NZ. Aquarius motel at Tauranga was the best we had stayed at. Paula greeted us upon our reach, check in was instant. I took the Large studio room and it was huge and clean. bed was super comfy, better than couple of 5 star hotels I have stayed. value for money!...
The staff member that greeted us was absolutely lovely ,the apartment was as advertised the bed was so comfortable ther was also a heat pump and the tv had all the sky channels , however Agoda should have also advertised that ther would be lots of demolition work going on directly under your balcony and that your outlook would be a crater the size of the hotel you are...
This has to be one of the nicest hostels I've stayed in. Not only does it look colorful and lively, everything is also really comfortable - from the tiny shelves next to every bed to cupboards in the dormroom (you can actually put your stuff on shelves and also put your backpack away - and lock the cupboard). Most well-equipped kitchen I've seen in a hostel. The only s...
We booked the studio Garden Villa and it was very spacious , came with your own kitchen and also a very big bathroom and cute little balcony outside . The Bathroom also came with a spa bath jacuzzi which was aswesome since had booked th hotel to attend the One Love music festival . The couch also turned into a pull out bed which was convienent for three girls. I will d...
Awesome place to stay, Great location, clean, great facilities and awesome staff. :)
Jilly and Murray owns this immaculate and lovely house. The room provided to us was immaculate and overlooked a Koi pond. They have a well manicured garden all done by Murray with Jilly overseeing the beautiful and colourful flowers. Murray calls her The Scientist. Haha. Awesome breakfast provided and Murray is a lively and humorous to have a chat with. He is so kind t...
The motel is about 5 minutes walk from the centre of Tauranga. We had a one bedroom apartment on the ground floor, it had plenty of room and there was even a lovely small garden we could use with a picnic bench. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The room and motel area were kept very clean. Would definitely stay here again.
Just stopped for the night in Tauranga heading north, had a very enjoyable nights stay at Tuscan Retreat. Our hostess Carol was wonderful, friendly and accommodating and provided us with a delicious home cooked brekky before our onward journey. Highly recommended for an enjoyable stay.
Really enjoyed our stay. Very clean rooms & very friendly staff. Very nice outdoors areas just outside our room, for sitting out in the sun. They could do with better heating during the winter months. There was only a little fan heater, but everything else was great...
Our room was tidy, had everything we required. Staff were friendly. We loved the office dog, beautiful friendly addition to the team. Good location. We would stay again. no complaints.
Close to Manabus stop which brings you to Auckland/ Rotorua... Loca urban bus to Tauranga also convenient. Walkable to Mt Muanganui and beach. No supermarket in walking distance but cafe and McDonalds nearby. Rooms are fine though a bit small. A toilet and bathroom. Hostel is well looked after, including behaviour of guests (children). Owner is friendly and helpful.
Best Backpacker in Mount Maunganui just near the beach and the Mount. The staff is really nice and you can rent surf and bicycle for cheap. The 16 dorm might be a little but expensive but the place is really cool !

Kind staff and owners. Hostel is basically a guy's house with a bunch of small container units he built in the backyard and turned into rooms. Campers with tents use the area too. Clean rooms, kitchen, and bathrooms. If you are gonna do a dolphin cruise book it through them to save some money.
Good for Short Term Stay, not good for long term stay
i been late at there. the staff still came and serve me. nice

Had a lovely stay here and even received a free upgrade which was an unexpected surprise! The weather was a little unforgiving that weekend but the pleasant room and fantastic staff made up for it. Close to public transport (stop is in front of the motel) and supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, fast food outlets, shopping, etc. are all across the road. Will book a room h...
Marion and Bob is really friendly and helpful. I had a very relaxing time there. I'd like to stay here again someday.

Host were super nice they already heat up the room before we arrived and also they had shampoo and soap available too not a lot of motels now a days have that. They were really good and was willing to go extra miles for us. Make sure you bring an ear plug as because it is around town you will definately hear the night Tauranga Vibe ;) love the restaurants walking dis...
It was a lovely stay they made me feel very welcome
Nice, helpful hosts. Very clean and comfortable. Easy access to great beach.
Aparment is very clean, hosts are very warm and friendly. Complete facility. Everything is ther for you to use. We love the heat pump for the cold days!! Thank you very much. A+ apartment.
Nice place, the owners are awesome people :) the place is not far from beach

The 18th Avenue Thermal Motel, is a great place in Tauranga which is centrally located. This motel has great facilities like a trampoline and thermal pool. This suits people with children. Also, the hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Thanks so much. It was a great stay.
We had a fantastic nights stayGlenda and Rex are perfect hosts,they make you feel so welcomed.The room is spotless,bed is so comfortable and you have everything that you need.Breakfast is great with a good selection.It is close to the beach and to town so a perfect spot.We will definitely come back next time we visit The Mount,thanks again xx
This place was comfortable for 1 night and we received an upgrade, which was a nice gesture. Location is ok, not the centre of town but near some shops and main roads. The price I paid was more than reasonable. The rooms are a bit dated and a dusty/musty - they need a good airing and maybe new carpets.
cobblestone court motel was a spacious abode with very clean rooms, and almost complete kitchen amenities. wireless internet access was a plus in this hotel so we have enjoyed surfing the internet during our free hours. the hotel was surrounded with lemon trees that further enhanced the beauty of the place outside. it was a safe place to stay when you're out on ...

We booked very last minute for a Christmas break with limited availability in the area, and to be honest we feel we had the BEST place in the area! The managers Linda and David, are extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. The unit was the cleanest place I have EVER stayed! Extremely comfortable and all mod con's required are available in the unit. A short...
Good for Short Term Stay, not good for long term stay
We found the room to be a great size with a kitchenette, large bathroom with both a shower and bath. Definitely worth the money and considering there are so many options in the local area and surrounds I was glad I chose the Bay Palm Motel. However I booked a 2 bedroom and while there was another room up the stairs there was no door and half the wall was missing so it ...

Traveler impressions of Tauranga
A little hard to drive around. Not well sign posted. Tend to come across signs & have very little time to change lanes.
Nice small city with beautiful gardens and beaches and with sun. Close to rotorua, taupo. I like mt maunganui and papamoa.
Everything is so easy to get to around the city. Sometimes parking is a problem but even if you have to park some distance away, the walks are always nice.
We did all the touristy things. We climbed the mt, picked blueberries and went to the jazz festival.
You can visit the beaches here, they have a lot of beaches and nearby area. The sightseeing is marvellous.
