We had a big, modern room with comfy chairs, a wonderful bed, and the best shower water pressure we've found on the North Island. The wifi worked well, and the ceiling fan was good for keeping the room cool at night. The hotel's location is unbeatable: across the street from the seafront walk, next to the terrific Puke Ariki museum, and a few blocks from the restaurant strip on Devon Street. We were lucky to snag one of the limited parking spaces in the hotel's lot, so we left the car there and went all over town on foot.

This apartment has been designed with love and is beautiful! It is very obviously cared for, maintained and so well appointed! It is spotlessly clean! The wifi was excellent and the food and treats left really are a treat! The bed was comfy and it was a joy to stay there! The communication with the host was excellent and we were able to just let ourselves in. It is in a very quiet area but only about a 15 minute drive into Ohakune. I will definitely book here again for a break when travelling up the North Island.

Stayed one night while travelling around the North Island. Very convenient location in the centre of Tauranga. Very friendly welcome at reception, and speedy check in. We had booked an executive king room which was on the eighth floor, and very roomy with a lounge area, tea and coffee making facilities, and bottles of water. Comfortable bed, and good air conditioning. The undercover parking garage accessed at the rear of the property at $10NZ for the night was a bonus as we had a car full of luggage.

This was one of the last stops on our jolly around north island, staying in a variety of accommodation from motels to fancy hotels. Can honestly say this was one of the nicest and by a long long way, the best value for money. The holiday house has everything you need, their are games for the kids and kind owners. The pool and hot tub were super and the couple keep an immaculate and beautiful garden ***** Breakfast simple and just what we needed. Would recommend.

Cambridge Retreat was an excellent place to spend our first night in New Zealand. Margaret made us feel so welcome. She not only gave us an excellent recommendation for dinner - which was a very short away but also gave us several ideas of places to visit whilst on the north island. Some of which we have already done and have enjoyed immensely. Our room was great as was our breakfast. Thank you Margaret for a great stay.

We ended up at the Novotel New Plymouth for 3 nights during the cyclone Gabrielle, as most of the North Island was badly affected and we were looking for somewhere out of the storm. The staff were excellent and extended our stay after it became clear that one day had to be sacrificed because of the weather. We liked the restaurant and bar and were impressed with how comfortable, spacious and modern the rooms were.

Wonderful location. Ohope Beach region is one of the best spots we visited on NZ north island. The apartment is even nicer than the photos indicate. Our host arranged the "best view" of the available apartments :) ...also, I always appreciate the consumables available in accommodation that I book, i.e, paper-towel in the kitchen, ground coffee and a plunger and a generous jug of milk :)

Fabulous accommodation here at Paihia Central Apartments. Everything you need for a comfortable few nights. Hosts are very lovely and helpful, views over the Bay of Islands are fab. We weren’t so lucky with the weather (North Island’s stormy 2023 summer) but enjoyed our stay regardless. Would recommend keeping your luggage light, as there are plenty of steep steps up to the house.

Everything. The rooms had everything I needed, free parking outside. It had a pool and good beer in the bar. Nice little courtyard. The owners obviously care, and there’s attention to detail. It’s the best hotel I’ve stayed in and I’ve done the whole of North Island. I’ve stayed in a lot more expensive and fancier ones, but I prefer this one all day long.

Oh my goodness. First of all. We were blown away with the breathtaking views that we had from the Studio apartment. All areas of the Studio were exceptionally clean, bed was superb comfortable and the bathroom was immaculate. As we had stayed in several stays across the North Island, we rated this one the highest.

The Crow's Nest was the highlight of our 16 day tour around 6 different locations in the North Island. Staff were always available and extremely helpful. Our apartment was exceptional in every way. Cannot fault this accommodation on anything. It is 10 out of 10 in every way. Will certainly stay here again.

The location was exemplary, looking out over Lake Taupo. The facilities (bed, shower, room) were all of the highest order and the staff were friendly and supportive. This was easily the best room that we have stayed in so for on our travels through New Zealand's North Island

This was a very comfortable studio apartment within walking distance of the town of Raglan. It was a perfect first stop on our roadtrip around the north island. It was extremely clean. There are blackout curtains. We slept well and recommend Long Street Studio.

I stayed in one of the hotel rooms, not the little adjacent campsite or RV hook-up. This is a very nice stop along the road thru the North Island. It was clean, and the little kitchen had everything you'd need. Good bed. Nice little porch. Great hot shower.

The apartment was gorgeous! Staff was very friendly and kind. My family and I will definitely be visiting again next time we’re in the North Island. Thank you Fitzherbert Castle Motel! If I could give you more than 5 stars I would! Anna from South Island

Location was great. Easy walking to restaurants etc Great views from apartment Carpet could do with a clean, but everything else was good. Daily room service was great. It was probably the most expensive accommodation we had paid around the north island

This is amazing. In a national park, high above the plains. From the road end it is one of the best views in the North Island. Hotel was new, super clean and nice. We loved it. We ate onsite which was a cut above normal meal. Wow. Highlight of the trip.

This was the best apartment we have stayed in during our trip to the North Island. Everything was perfect and the beautiful breakfast was an amazing addition. Thank you Shane and Mel.

I Love the Royal Hotel its my fav accommodation in the North Island. Such amazing opulent decor with steam punk twist.

The room was large and comfortable with a lovely private deck backing onto a green space. The bathroom was well lit and spacious. The bed super comfy. Everything was clean and there was lots of storage space. The proximity to the hot pools and the discount for entry was great. The staff were awesome - friendly, helpful, attentive, welcoming.
