Motel in Tauranga

“New, tidy place easy walking down to restaurants and bars. Quiet with a decent view of the sea. Room is small, especially bathroom, but excellent for a night or two”

“What a lovely place to stay. Gorgeous old homestead, which had a lovely homely feel. Frances and Julian were tremendous hosts, extremely accomodating to our groups very specific needs and they made us feel very welcome, and the freshly made bread was outstanding.”

“What an amazing place to stay! Owners are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Rooms are well maintained and serviced daily to a high standard. Great swimming pool with towels provided for the pool and a trip to the beach! Centrally located and great for trips all around Tauranga. I truly believe this is the best motel I've ever stayed in! Highly recommend staying there.”

“I had a wonderful experience here! Breakfast is always ready, so even if you come down a bit late, you can still enjoy it. The hotel owners are very kind and the hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. There are famous mountains and the sea nearby, making it convenient to go sightseeing. If you visit in summer, I would 100% recommend this place!”

“Beautiful boutique hotel with lovely garden, nice rooms and very nice staff. Excellent breakfast and dinner. If you visit the Rotorua area this is the place to go!”

“Birthday Boy. My wife booked two nights at Moose Lodge as a surprise for my birthday. I had no idea where we were going and when we arrived at the gates I couldn't believe we were going in to Moose Lodge. We were greeted and welcomed by Bevan. We were given a guided tour of the lodge and were blown away by the amazing point of difference displayed. Quite rare and an extra ordinary location and aspect with a stunning, calming view. Lovely rooms, quite and discreet. Beautiful meals and add to that the thermal pools, golf on a site with a quite challenging 9 holes. From the start of our stay & experience Bevan, Shirley and staff treated us with sincere friendliness and amazing service. We recommend people wishing to relax, enjoy and unwind that the Moose Lodge experience should be put at the top of your list. We will be back. Thank you”

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Super tidy, clean, comfortable and central accommodation. And what I mean by that is possibly the cleanest and freshest place I have stayed at in a long time. Speaking to the owners in the morning it is approx 5 years old, so credit to the cleaners and maintenance team as this literally feels brand new. Bed and pillows were comfortable, the kitchen has literally everything you need if staying for slightly longer in a super cute, compact and functional kitchenette. I would def recommend for work trips, both short and longer. Couples escapes (try get harbour views if couples), or solo mental health get aways.”

“We have stayed here multiple times now and it is our go to spot for accommodation when visiting the Mount. Rooms are spacious and tidy, location is close to centre - easy walking distance and Leo (The owner) is very kind and accomodating to any needs. Highly recommend !”

“We had a wonderful experience staying at The Clarence Hotel in Tauranga. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean. What really stood out to me was the personal service, something that's hard to find these days. Food and drinks 10/10. Pizza is a must try! Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional stay.”

“Very beautiful lake view cottages, very nice resort. It has a hot spa, pool, chess, gym, and provides cycle/bikes also. Very cozy, clean and nice rooms, with all the facilities. The rooms are also very spacious. Very calm and ambient place. Definitely recommend by me if you are coming to Rotorua. It is 100% worth the price. It is idealistic first day if you are for even at night in Rotorua. The cottages a the lake front have very great views with a common, huge and open backyard. The cottage in which we stayed had included a well equipped kitchen and dining table. There was also an electric fireplace. At night, the views in backyard were very MAJESTIC and photogenic. Overall, the places of great value and a perfect place for a calm, quiet and peaceful weekend/holiday/stay.”

“Super clean & tidy. Great pools at 3 different temperatures. Lovely people who run it & the gardens were amazing. We only live 20mins away but will definitely be back.”

“Lovely clean accommodation. Friendly staff and very accommodating. Nice place to stay”

“Excellent ,centrally located establishment. With the re opening a little whike ago of the Tauranga Club within the complex , it now offers full restaurant / bar facilities with stunning views of the inner Tauranga harbour. Truely exceptional.”

“I had an amazing stay. I was traveling solo and I always felt very safe and looked after. The location is absolutely stunning, the view breathtaking, the room was spotlessly clean. The team was very helpful and supportive, very caring and positive. I really raccomend this place.”

“Very very great hospitality and service. The owners really do make you feel welcome, and they always took the extra step to make sure my family and I were sorted and comfortable. The neighbors were very quiet no loud noises in the night or anything. Awesome location close to every necessity. Great back outdoor section to walk around. And they even also have a pool and spa pool. 10/10 experience in all departments of our 1 week stay.”

“Stayed for a couple of nights, it was a nice comfortable room with good heating, good TV, and it's in a good walking distance from everywhere i needed to go. The staff were great and friendly, one staff member was kind enough to drive me to the airport when I was having trouble getting a taxi”

“We were so lucky when we found this place. Impeccably clean, great size room for 2 with 2 large suitcases and location was perfect for restaurants and bars within a very short walk down the street. Tui the manager was very helpful. We have no issue in highly recommending this motor inn.”

“What a wonderful experience at the Motel in the heart of the Mount. Linen was soft. Place looked really well presented, the young managers went above and beyond to look after the wife when she was after olive oil. Thanks, we will be back!”

“This was a perfect place quiet lots of birdsong, the room was cozy with everything you needed for a stay”

“My stay at this hotel was wonderful! The room was good and clean, though not very well maintained. Overall, it was still a comfortable stay with decent service and value for money The staff was warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The service was quick and efficient, making the whole experience stress-free. The location is convenient, and the overall atmosphere felt very pleasant. Definitely a great choice for anyone looking for comfort and good hospitality at a genuine price.”

“Greeted with a friendly smile and easy check in and parking underneath. The room I was in was super spacious, and made it not feel like a hotel room. Nice addition to be able to close off the bedroom. With the time I had I didn’t get to use it but a nice balcony that would be great for a wine at the end of the day. Everything was clean and tidy and no issues.”
