Offering an outdoor swimming pool and free WiFi, Tuscany On Thames is adjacent to the start of the Thames part of The Hauraki Rail Trail. Guests of the property enjoy free access to the fitness centre, which is located in town.

This property is very quaint, and the staff was extra helpful as we acclimated to New Zealand. Our unit was well-sized and perfect for our needs. It's the perfect base of operations for exploring the Coromandel.

Offering free WiFi, Coastal Motor Lodge is set on lovely landscaped gardens directly opposite the waters of Kuranui Bay. All accommodation features a kitchenette and flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

We had the ground floor apartment which we saw catered for disabilities - very roomy unit that would accommodate someone with a wheelchair and the bathroom has a 'Wet Floor', also catering for anyone not able to climb into or out of a shower box or bath. Beds were very comfy. An added bonus is the view of the ocean from the garden seating outside the unit, looking across the road from the chalets and units.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    This was hands down the nicest motel we stayed in. The many extra little touches went above and beyond. Good location to explore the peninsula.

    It was at the end of the line of housing very close to the beach, so was quiet at this time of year. The beds were OK and it was reasonably priced. A utility motel.

    This was spacious, comfortable & clean. Much better than most motel rooms. Small, private balcony at the rear of the unit was an added bonus.
