Top Whakatete Bay Hotel Reviews

Tasman Holiday Parks - Miranda

10/10 Excellent

"Truly amazing work from the great people"

Coastal Motor Lodge

8/10 Good

"Very comfortable bed. Quiet area just outside of town at a reasonable rate for the night. Man on the front desk not very welcoming or helpful. Arrived after dusk to find room door and all windows open which didn't help with warming up the room. No sky movies or smart TV."

Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We recently had 3 wonderful nights at the Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort. The staff were fantastic, great restaurant and facilities. Many local activities to enjoy. Such a great place for a relaxing few days away."

Grafton Cottage & Chalets

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location of Grafton Cottage with its lovely view Alby was a wonderful host and pleased to assist when needed"

Paku Lodge Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very friendly. Room was clean and tidy. Had lovely view from our Balcony and close walk to the beach. Nice and close to Tairua main road and amenities. Would recommend good value for money."

Peninsula Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 2 nights in a Superior Deluxe Studio over the weekend. The room was clean, comfortable, well maintained and large for a studio. The kitchenette had all the essentials and had the weather been better we would have enjoyed the deck area. The motel is a 5 min walk to the centre of town which made getting around easy. Relaxed and friendly service from Fred added to our experience. We were very happy with our choice, especially for the price paid."
