Comfortable Stay

Reviewed By starbunyip

First time at this Motel. We were greated warmly and shown boogie boards, beach things and beach towels we could borrow. The units are ground floor with parking right outside. We stayed in a two room unit. One had two singles and one a queen size bed. The unit came with a small kitchenette and full size stove. Toaster, kettle and a good sized fridge/freezer. The lounge area was very spacious. There were four of us and we could watch TV from the large, L-shaped couch. It was freshly decorated and very clean. Also had a dining table and four chairs. The bathroom is large with a full sized comfortable bath. Again very clean, could use a little updating. The best bit, a small, private, outside courtyard with a full sized picnic table. If I was staying for a week I would have appreciated a dishwasher and a better shower. All in all, great unit and would stay again.

Had a great stay during school holidays. Clean facilities and was able to have children in a separate bedroom. Enjoyed use of the spa pool and my son loved seeing all the Lego displayed in reception. RSA across the road but we ended up going into town for dinner which is only 2 mins down the road.

Relaxing Stay at Pipinui Motel

Reviewed By Kerryjay70

Arrived, phoned a very pleasant hostess and within minutes we were in a lovely beautifully appointed room with all one needs for any length of stay. Absolutely spotless with a well set-up kitchen, spacious bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The motel is in a quiet part of town close to the marina, river and beach and is not far from the shops. Our hostess helpfully commented that the local RSA was a great place to dine and so it was. Definitely recommend this as a very pleasant and relaxing place to stay in Whangamata.

Nice and clean but pricey

Reviewed By Kiwifam24

We had unit 2 which had a beautiful new bathroom, comfortable bed but no outlook and really tight parking. We were woken up in the morning after a big night at a wedding, by the owners upstairs and in the adjoining door downstairs. Expensive for what you get. Being in the industry we have a good handle on pricing!

Bushland Park Lodge & Retreat

Bushland Park Lodge & Retreat in Whangamata created its own speciality for a high quality and very personal hosting. The owners "Petra & Reinhard" love to share their passion with their guests for fine dining, glass-art & pure nature with New Zealand "bush & beach". Exclusively only 3 fortunate couples experience this very unique place in the Coromandel Peninsula New Zealand with a variety of attractive features: A private glow-worm grotto just 3 minutes from your dining table. Outdoors, close to the lily pond and with total privacy a "Double Slipper Bath" to gaze at the Milky Way stars with Champagne & Candles. Your "private Chef" offers high class cuisine in the Lodge's dining wine cellar; often on his own created art glass dinnerware. Bush walks to the famous Wentworth Falls start at the doorstep, and glorious white-sand beaches are only a few minutes' drive away. Two golf courses close by. Bushland Park Lodge is not just a stop along the way, but a destination in its own right.

Perfect place to wind down!

A perfect place to unwind after our long flight. Petra and Reinhard couldn’t do enough to make us feel more at home. Stunning grounds.... not forgetting Bushland's very own glow-worms! Excellent traditional German breakfasts cooked by Petra and cordon bleu evening meal cooked by Reinhard. Thoroughly recommend.

Very unwelcoming

Reviewed By heather h

Our travel agent booked this for us 18 months in advance. Firstly there aren't any stunning views from the rooms, only the owners accommodation and its too far out of town to walk to restaurants We were expecting a warm welcome but the owner informed us that we couldnt stay !!!!! It was at the start of Corvid but we were in NZ before quarantine was introduced. I asked why she hadnt tried to contact us prior to our arrival as we would have been than happy to stay in our previous hotel The owner told us that she had tried to find us alternative accommodation but that "nobody wants you", which was clearly untrue ! I explained that we were in the country before quarantine was introduced and that as a bad asthmatic we had taken full precautions to avoid the virus and had cleaned everywhere we had been with sanitising wipes and used hand gel. We were extremely upset thinking that we had nowhere to stay On leaving we noticed a motel and decided to give it a try. No problem Within 20 mins of checking into our motel room the police knocked on our door !! The owner of stunning views had reported us. They checked our paper work and as everything was correct said that we could continue with our holiday Whilst I can understand the owners concerns about Covid, all she had to do was contact our agent a few days before to avoid all the upset. To set the police on us was unforgivable. My husband and I are both in our late sixties and not the type to break rules. AVOID THIS INHOSPITABLE PLACE.

Reviewed By Kej5

Lovely apartment split over 3 levels. First level was the garage, laundry, and a separate toilet and shower. Second level was the lounge, kitchen, dining and balcony. Third level was the master bedroom, toilet and bathroom. Two other rooms were closed off. Beautifully equipped with a full range of kitchen appliances and little touches like paper towels and a salt and pepper set. Clean and comfortable; we would certainly stay again.
