The Tiny Abode, hotel in Snells Beach

Offering garden views, The Tiny Abode is an accommodation situated in Snells Beach, less than 1 km from Snells Beach and 1.7 km from Algies Bay Beach.

Beds and pillows were very comfortable and the rain shower was incredible. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was all nice and new. We especially liked all the lovely extra touches: the local gourmet coffee, the lush live houseplants, the yummy minty eco-friendly cleaning products, and my son says thanks for the chocolate bar!

    Nice clean property with good facilities and a lovely view.

    Nice clean property with good facilities and a lovely view. It lacked an entertaining deck, but we booked two houses for our large party and the other house had a huge deck, so it was not an issue. All other facilities were very good. We found plenty to do in the surrounding area. The key code we'd been given didn't work when we arrived but a quick call to Bachcare got us the correct code. I'd recommend this property.

    Snells Beach is very scenic with white sand and Pohutukawa trees. It is lovely to walk along the beach. When the tide is out it is a long way to the water, and when the tide is in the water isn't that deep (but that makes it great for kids). There are a few takeaway shops, bakery, Indian restaurant and a pub at Snells Beach. Only a 10 minute drive to Warkworth and Matakana which have more restaurants and shops. Snells Beach is close to the Matakana wine region which has some quality vineyards (some you have to book to visit), and also breweries.

    The hotel is in a great location, with views from the balcony to the sea, opposite several shops and restaurants and just down the road from a delicious Indian Restaurant The Spice Root, recommended by the manager, and the Salty Dog Inn. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and recently renovated. It was great value. It is also only a short distance back to Auckland and to Sandspit for the Royal Mail ferry.

    Really lovely cafes and restaurants, we ate at Little and Local Bistro and the Bayside Bistro. Both were lovely meals, well priced for what we got. We stayed over a long weekend to see the local area and attractions. It was a great location to reach other areas, quite at night and easy driving to nearby places. Didn’t see much else to do in the local area except enjoy the beaches which are really pretty but not for water sports as no surf.

    Unfortunately the room we got was unsafe and unclean, the bathroom light was rusted and did not work and the toilet did not flush properly. We were supposed to stay two nights but left after the first night. Pretty disappointed really :(

    Snells Beach Motel was the perfect place to stay with my young grandchildren when we were visiting relatives in beautiful Snells Beach. The 2 bedroom unit was very comfortable with plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children. It may be an older building, but it was exceptionally clean and had everything you could want in the kitchen. My grandson loved the hot chocolate sachets! We were also fortunate that our unit had views of Snells Beach from the verandah and bedrooms. Definitely recommend this motel.

    It's a lovely lodge, especially if you're a couple looking for a getaway. It's close to Matakana and Warkworth, Tawharanui and many other beautiful beaches. The apartment had everything you'll need during a holiday. Fully equipped kitchen, all the breakfast supplies, a bbq and a beautiful deck with a view on the beach. The hosts were very accommodating and just so friendly and truly cared about our comforts. A nice touch was a fresh ball of fruit on arrival.

    very spacious light and airy room, massive comfortable bed, two chairs by a small dining table (surprising how many hotels/motels have only one chair in a room for a couple), being separate from the main building housing a bar, bistro and restaurant, it was quiet. Adequate car parking for each guest., a wardrobe with hangars and plenty of drawers etc as storage space. We were going to Kauwau island so stayed here before and after our trip to the island.

    We were a group of 10 and booked 2 x two bedroom units which were perfect for us. Motel manager was fantastic, very helpful with the Sky TV issue and a late check out was no problem. Motel had a great location, a short walk to the beautiful Snells Beach and across the road from a couple of takeaways and a bakery. Only 10 minute drive to either Matakana or Warkworth. And close to all the wineries we wanted to visit :) Great value for money.

    Easy check-in process. Nice sunny spacious unit, with lovely bay window, in a relatively quiet location. The room overlooked a lawn and pretty flowering shrubs (and a family of quails) - very relaxing. Good accessible bathroom with shower stool supplied. Excellent water pressure in the shower. Great wi-fi. The motel was within a short driving distance to all the lovely bays on the Mahurangi peninsula. Overall, really good value for money.

    Nice big two room apartment. Only here for one night. Nice and warm, comfortable beds. Soft linen and fluffy towels. Good location near snells beach, the pub was close enough but not noisy. Good food and drink. Also close to matakana for all the wineries and famous market (get a bacon sandwich and coffee - delicious!) Lovely staff. Pet friendly too which was a huge bonus for us

    Near the water. Reasonably priced and bed was comfortable and clean. We needed two beds, and they were able to accommodate with a fold out couch. Black out curtains. Checkout easy (just leave key in room). If you like drinking and playing darts the bar/restaurant might be your kind of place.

    Superb location on the waterfront. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and relaxing. There are not many restaurants at Snells Beach but we did enjoy the Little and Local which was about 10 minutes walk away.
