Park in Mount Maunganui

“Our 16yr old boy did his first sky dive last week in Tauranga. We felt that it was safe enough for him. The guys were all great and made him feel comfortable. Highly recommend!”

“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 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.”

“Amazing show with alot of talent. The best one I've been to in a long time.”

“Bill and Marie are a great team .... they really make you feel comfortable ..... a really comprehensive range of beds too ... well worth checking out if you refurbishing. .... they even do drapes as well ...”

“These guys know how to get repeat business. They do everything right (in my book), and completely worthy of their high rating. Their service is impeccable. The location is handy, in the Central Parade block of shops just down from New World and Z petrol station. Easy drive in, most the time grabbing a park close by or out the front. They have a great menu covering all your kiwi fish n chip classics, burgers and Chinese selections we’ve come to expect in NZ. Their online ordering system is super quick and easy to use. Added bonus, a 10% discount coupon for online orders over $15 ✅ Even if you don’t order online, you won’t be waiting long. Did I mention they do coffee too? And free wifi (NZ establishments are mostly slow on that one). Our favourites for Friday night takeaways; Gurnard or Terakihi which comes in a light batter with a hint of lemon and herb salt. Always fresh. Good chunky chips, a cheeky hot dog and spring roll always go down a treat. Their Nasi Goreng is the best Ive had in NZ, and their wonton or dumpling noodle soup too. Its 5-stars all the way from me. I recommend Central coast takeaway to anybody who asks which is what spurred me to write a review. Credit where credit is due as Nan always said, and these guys deserve the credit… best takeaways in the Bay!”

“Loved it! Great neat activity play area.”

“We've been here multiple times this past year, including for my birthday, and they've always delivered yummy food and great service. I will say that the last time we went, there was a large group and they were quite delayed in serving our drinks & dessert cocktail, but this was a one off, and I still think of Fox's as one of the best places to grab a bite. Their menu is quite inventive - both the drinks & the food - and their weekly specials make them even more enticing. You won't regret a meal here!”

“Had a party today at Rocktopia Tauranga and what a blast we had. Recommend party bookings for sure! Was so much fun! Our son turned 7 and his friends and our family just loved this place. An hour climbing around and ending with the slides was a highlight for them all. The party room hire for an hour was just what we needed for them to play, eat and celebrate with cake.. thanks team for a great day. It went extremely well!! the kids left chuffed and full of excitement, and the adults left feeling very proud of there adventurous, happy children.”

“We had the most amazing experience on this seafari, apparently we got super lucky because we ended up spitting 4 different dolphin pods. Didn’t get to swim with the dolphins since all the pods had juveniles, but still it was amazing to just enjoy them from the boat and learn all about them from the crew.”

“Parking is free, it’s a good place to take in the view of the bay and Mt Maunganui. Good spot to start a short stroll up the beach and back.”

“Have a good assortment of asian stuff! They have Eng Bee Tin Hopia here! Nice!!”

“Nice place, great food, I enjoyed the birds, there were not a nuisance and were respectful of eating my food. Very good service. Our server was very sweet and polite.”

“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 !”

“Super good food and friendly staff 10/10”

“Absolutely loved our stay here. Exceptional customer service, great facilities with everything you need in the apartments. Perfect location in the heart of Mt Maunganui - very short walk to local cafes, beach and more. Would highly recommend”

“We were on a school trip, and the kids loved it. Warm enough to not get cold, but not too warm either. Lots of fun activities for kids, and saunas and spa pools are wonderful, a little bit expensive but well worth it. 5 stars from me”

“Took a small party out for my wife's birthday. The food was great, and served quickly after ordering. I particularly liked the kumara fries! Was a great recommendation from the owner. Service was exceptional, you can tell when someone actually cares about their patrons. It showed in the number of people inside the business. It was a rainy Sunday evening and the resteraunt was at capacity! There was live music and good vibes in abundance. Despite being busy the proprietor checked on us multiple times, and once the live band had finished and a few people had left a table cleared inside which he offered to us for a more pleasant experience. Thank you for the hard work, we will be back!”

“Beautiful restaurant with delicious food, drinks and very nice and friendly staff members!!”

“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”

“Services are great! I use the school runs that Uzabus provide most days (After school obviously) and the drivers are very nice people, and the vibe is generally pretty chill, for the most part. I've also gotta tip my hat to the people who maintain the buses, because I've seen multiple buses in Uzabus' fleet that are very old, have over 1M km's on the odometer (I know of one with about 2.5M km on the odometer), or are one of a kind in the country. Good people, and probably very good mechanics.”

“We got 3 bridesmaid dresses from Evolution Clothing and the whole process was so smooth. The team was very lovely and patient and was very helpful. They also had a great selection of colours and styles! Perfect if you're unsure on what you want and if you want to do a bit of browsing. The dresses we picked out arrived very quickly, but unfortunately two of them fitted differently than the samples they had tried on. However, the team was awesome about the issue and re-ordered them as it was the result of a factory issue. The new dresses arrived very fast and the girls all looked amazing on the day! Would 100% recommend Evolution Bridesmaids!!”

“Delicious Salted Caramel Brioche Donut and a triple shot Americano...mmmm!!! And the staff were friendly and helpful. I'll be back!”
