We are a friendly, family-owned motel situated in a lovely quiet location in historical Waihi.

Our motel is a short walk to Waihi’s town centre which has many lovely cafés and restaurants to choose from as well as a great range of locally owned stores and boutiques where you can browse and shop. Martha Mine is a must-see attraction while you’re in town with daily tours available to book, or the free rim walk (a 5km loop) is a great alternative.

Comfortable and a lovely Greeting

Perfect roadside stopover. This is a return visit because we were very impressed on first stopover a few days ago. Large very well fitted out. Kitchen had full stove. Shower was hot and powerful. While this is an older design motel it has been reovated with taste. Scrupulously clean.Linens and towels high grade quality. Price was hard to beat

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.

    Stayed as close to hauraki rail trail and bike was stolen, likely by another guest. Motel claims to have cameras but they only cover one part of the driveway and they wouldn't show me the footage.

    The motel was clean and tidy. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. We only stayed one night but had we stayed longer I believe it would have been a nice stay

    Well located near the high street of Waihi. Rooms were very clean and had everything needed for a short stay - fridge, AC, toiletries etc. Easy on site parking and SKY TV (including Sports) standard with the room. Keeping in mind this motel is located on state highway there can be some road noise, however with the AC on it was hardly noticeable. We had a very comfy stay.

    It was a clean and comfortable stay at the motel. Even when it wasn't a kitchen room, they provided amenities like a toaster, fridge and microwave which was convenient for having a simple continental breakfast and reheating yesterday's leftovers.

    Location was nice e and quiet, we chose to stay here because it was set back from the main drag for road noise, and having our own entire house as opposed to a motel at a comparable price was a great option. Will be back again.
