Review for Strand Motel in Tauranga

I had a wonderful stay for one night. the neat double room was a charming little retreat. the lovely view added to the experience. the location is excellent, being very central and close to the port, with easy access to restaurants and shops. We truly didn’t want to leave and would definitely stay here again.

Nice comfy base for 1 night. A huge variety of goodies for breakfast. Very pleasant staff with knowledge of the place. In a very central location with pubs and a coffee shop close to the hotel...

the location was incredible - near all the eatery's as well as downtown. the bedroom was huge and impressive.

I had a fantastic one-night stay at this place, where the units were very spacious and impressive, offering great value for money.

Particularly good and fantastic location for enjoying bars and restaurants close to the hotel. For shots visit Brooklyn Patio, nestled within 10 minutes' walk of the venue.

The bed was soft, comfortable, and clean. The unit was sunny and had a great location close to cafes and restaurants. The host was pleasant and apologized for the small room.

Nothing for me.

it has a great location near railway line. the bets part that it's right by great restaurants and bars. the rooms are large and spotless, the beds are exceptionally comfortable. own bathroom is spacious.

The staff here were fantastic and truly made me feel welcome, plus the location was convenient and close to the town center.

Les chambres sont confortables et calmes, avec une literie de qualité. Le personnel est accueillant et professionnel, offrant un service attentionné. Le petit-déjeuner propose un large choix de produits frais et faits maison, tels que des yaourts, des viennoiseries et des confitures bio. De plus, le parking sécurisé est un avantage pratique pour les clients.

Le bruit et la pollution de la voie rapide à proximité peuvent être dérangeants pour certains.

I had a fantastic stay for 1 night, everything was great! The location was very central, close to Bay Explorer, and we visited a few places in the center, not very far from the hotel.

Great central location, close to restaurants and town. Convenient parking. Lovely walk on the foreshore, with water views.

Felt warmly welcomed, staff went above and beyond to assist us.

I want to share a few thoughts from my recent stay, which was certainly interesting. So, first off, the heating situation was a bit of a downer. The unit felt pretty cold, especially at night, and even though there was a heater, it took too long to warm up the space. It wasn't the most comfortable, to be honest. I would’ve loved to have had some electric blankets, just to make the nights cozier. Now, let’s talk about the shower – it really needed a good scrub! I walked in and immediately noticed it was less than clean. The floors hadn’t been vacuumed, and it left me feeling a bit hesitant about using the bathroom. A bit of housekeeping would’ve made such a difference. On a more positive note, the bed was super comfortable once I figured out that one of the legs wasn’t screwed in properly. Can you believe it? I almost rolled off in the night! But after some fiddling around, I found the leg lying under the bed. After putting it back on, it was like sleeping on a cloud – such a relief! I also appreciated the little things like the tea and coffee facilities. An electric kettle is always a win for me. it would've been nice to have a few more extra touches — some free toiletries wouldn’t have hurt, right? The furniture and décor felt a bit dated, but honestly, it was serviceable. The place had a sort of retro charm, but it definitely could use a refresh to make it feel more modern. And the sitting area felt small and tight for two people; a bit more space would have been nice, maybe a couple of chairs to lounge in rather than just one. Then there was the noise – wow, I could hear the train passing by and some party-goers like they were right next door. It kind of ruined the peace I was hoping for during my stay. Oh, and the internet? Useless! It didn't connect at all, which made it difficult when I wanted to look something up or keep in touch with family. Just wanted to mention, I had this embarrassing moment when I was handed the wrong key and accidentally walked in on someone else. Talk about awkward! I had some highlights that made my stay decent, but there were definitely a lot of areas that need fixing up. With some small adjustments, it could be a really great spot. Just hope they take note of the little things next time!

This place was absolutely mind-blowing! It was so clean and tidy, with jaw-dropping kitchen facilities. I loved sitting in the outdoor seating area, just taking in the breathtaking view. And let me tell you, the location was unreal! All the best cafes, bars, and restaurants were just seconds away, and the waterfront was only minutes from the motel. And can we talk about the price? It was such a steal for such an amazing location! The beds were super comfortable, making it easy to stroll over to the cafes for breakfast. Plus, the mugs and water glasses were huge! The room size was perfect, and the new flat-screen TV with Netflix and other streaming services was just awesome. Seriously, more places should do that! Not to mention, they had all the amenities you could need, from free wi-fi to free parking. And if you're into fishing, they even have that! I was also pleased to see that no pets were allowed and there was no smoking on site. I had a fantastic stay at this motel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a superb location, comfortable beds, and an affordable rate.

Located just a stone’s throw away from the waterfront and surrounded by a plethora of eateries, this motel offers the perfect location for exploring the city. the room was spotless and had all the amenities we needed, ensuring a comfortable stay. the friendly and helpful staff allowed us to check in early, adding to the convenience of our trip. Plus, the beautiful views from the balcony were a delightful bonus.

Though the motel’s location is convenient, it can get quite noisy due to its proximity to the main road and train line. Light sleepers may find it challenging to get a restful night's sleep.

Strand Motel offers a superb CBD location, just a short walk from everything you need. the room size is good, with a new TV featuring Netflix and other streaming services. It's great value for money and conveniently close to charming coffee shops.

The room felt dated. It had a funny smell.
