Top Whangamata Hotel Reviews

Coastal Motor Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great location near water view. Parking not specifically marked for each unit can be awkward if you leave property soneone will use your space...room was clean but there were crumbs around top edge of glass tabletop"

Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and beautiful rooms. Also beautiful restaurant, fantastic when I paid for add-on breakfast - best breakfasts of whole NZ trip. They do not provide clean bed sheets daily fyi. The dinners were also fantastic and the view from the rooms was fantastic. Difficult if you have any sort of knee or ankle issue - lots of very steep uphill, lots of stairs. Resort is at the edge of a cute suburb, rather than totally isolated as the pictures imply. Some of the most friendly staff I have ever experienced. Awful road through the mountains to get to it though. Some of the most winding and tiny roads with rude fellow drivers I have seen."

Central beach location 5mins walk to beach, 10 mins walk to town. Dogs welcome.

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely well appointed bach in a great location with a walk to the beach. Warm and sunny and has everything you need for your stay. The hosts were super helpful and we would definitely come back!"

Sunny house near Golf Course and Recreation Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The house had everything we could possibly need and felt like a true home away from home. Communication with the owner was excellent—they were friendly, incredibly helpful, and very accommodating throughout our stay.The area was peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect place to relax. Whangamatā is a beautiful destination, with great cafés and restaurants offering delicious food at very reasonable prices.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking this beautiful home again. Highly recommended!"
