Aongatete Hotel Guide - Waitekohekohe Recreational Park hotels in Aongatete, New Zealand.

"We did not eat breakfast there. They were closed on Saturday and Sunday, we left early monday and on Tuesday they told us that it was room service only."

"We stayed here on vacation and loved the large kitchen area. The owners were attentive and friendly. The location and innovative style made this home very unique. Great views on the drives in and out and close proximity to Tauranga. "

"The carpet was new and the bed was comfortable, everything else was old. Old is ok, but so many things were broken or uncared for. The light above the bed had fallen apart - theres no way they could miss that. I fixed it myself. The painting on the wall was hanging at 45 degrees. I straightened it up. Bathroom door wouldnt latch. Towel rail hanging loose. I dont understand how they can rent out rooms woth glaring faults like this. Its like nobody has set foot in there for a long time. Then theres the cleanliness - mostly things were clean, except for some thick dust around the TV, in the corners of the rooms, around the toilet paper dispenser, and the glasses had lipstick marks on them. Lots of spiderwebs around. Easy things not to miss. I just cant believe they had prepared this room for our stay - I dont think anyone had set foot in there for months. Then theres the staff - very friendly, but 5 minutes before 10am she walks into the room - no greetings or anything - and asks if we are leaving. We said of course, and she starts rambling about how she forgot to take a deposit. She takes the TV remotes from beside me on the couch and put them by the TV and said she had someone steal them before. Then she demanded we give her the key to the unit and left. It was very abrupt and confusing honestly."

"Great place to stay, friendly staff."

"Nice staff. "

"18th Ave Thermal - Tauranga Pros - Easy parking - Sleeps 4 - 1 king - 2 singles (but only seats 3 ?) - Full size fridge/freezer - Kitchenette ( but very dated) Cons - very old and tired chalet type rooms - Not air conditioned - Not insulated as it’s hot inside while it’s only 20* outside. - Fans provided are so noisy you’ll never get to sleep - Not soundproofed so you hear your neighbor use the toilet - No fly screens - Totally Dysfunctional layout - Wash basin tap plumbed the wrong way - hot was cold and vise-versa. With a little effort this motel could be a great place to stay as it’s really close to a shopping centre and has parking right outside your room. Unfortunately it’s badly in need of renovations to revamp kitchen and ensuite and more importantly to insulate (acoustic + thermal) and air condition each room. "

"Really nice place"

"room was spacious with heaps of on street parking and clean"

"Good parking and great early check in support. They rang to advise when room was ready.. Got upgraded, room was a little tired but clean. Nice toiletries. Had dinner there that night, food was very good, we did shared plates. Charges were reasonable. I had prepaid for the breakfast, sadly that was mediocre not worth the price. Overall Lower score as the restaurant staff at both sittings were terrible. Had to keep calling them for service. The manager on the Friday morning was very rude when I asked about getting a barista coffee.and didn't oversee her team who were giggling and ignoring customers. However the staff were young. Having said all that, I do recommend and would stay again.. . "
