Top Whakatane Hotel Reviews

Tuscany Villas Boutique Motel

8/10 Good

"Great location, room very basic, no extras"

The Com Plex Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second stay at The Com Plex in Whakatāne, and once again it was an excellent experience. The accommodation is consistently clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, making it an easy choice when visiting the area. The staff were fantastic and went above and beyond to accommodate our late check-in at very short notice, which was greatly appreciated. Their friendly and helpful service really made a difference. The location is another big plus, it’s conveniently close to The Heads and the town centre, making it easy to explore Whakatāne and enjoy everything the area has to offer. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend The Com Plex to anyone looking for comfortable, clean accommodation with outstanding customer service."
