We would highly recommend staying at Tairua Shores. The accommodation was clean, warm and well equipped with everything you might need for a stay in Tairua. My husband and I would definitely stay again.
Dave
Deck outside needs cleaning and sprucing up b4 summer otherwise property was clean and tidy.
Could do with Sky or expanded TV/sport/film options especially in autumn/winter weather.
Self checkin worked easily..

Everything about the place, made for a great stay

The room matches what listed and quite, the only issue I had was no staff on the site, sofa bed issue was resolved after few messages and sometimes, Steve sent a nice lady to come to resolve. The motel is vey close to beach and have very good view

Convenient location with a clean and quiet room. The amenities listed were all available including parking in front of the unit. We really enjoyed our stay here and recommend this location.
Sam
Great greatlocation,and great staff,thanks very much
Brent
The staff were wonderful. We were late in arriving but staff made the check-in process smooth and easy. We were in unit 1 which has a view of the bay and a wonderful outside sitting area with a bbq. Linens were nice and beds comfortable. The heat pump worked well when we needed air conditioning or heat. The staff were very helpful during an unusual heavy rainfall event to make sure we were safe and had everything we needed. We would stay again if we are back in the area. Hot water beach and Cathedral Cove are within easy driving distance.
Jacques
The location was fine but the room was a little overpriced with a king bed made with two single beds put side by side.
Megan
Lovely view, easy room access via lockbox, digging spades were provided for Hot Water Beach.

Why a little dated we were blown away by the awesome amenities and great service. The rooms had everything we needed including a Weber bbq and great air con. The young couple that checked us in were really attentive and offered beach towels, spades for hot water beach etc as well as great advice on places to eat drink and swim.

Brenda
The check-in was very easy and layback unit was big for a studio, and well thought-out bathroom was lovely and even had a modern mirror light which could be left on at night as a nightlight, they have tried hard to bring it all into a higher standard than perhaps a few years ago. Even though its mid August the aircon kept things lovely and warm

The rooms were clean and comfortable on the inside. The property on the outside was very unkept. Driving in made me very worried.
The owner was very helpful and was helpful with beach towels, dining advice and grocery shopping.
Overall our stay was pleasant. Easy walk to a small town. Lots of walking trails and drivable ocean beach.

No one to greet us on arrival just a note on window of reception!
Have stayed here a lot and since new owners the grounds have been left to grow weeds even the little patio off our room.
Shower was shocking - water temperature up and down then totally cold and with no pressure!

Terrible motel, Will not recommend at all
Way over priced. We paid NZ$254.20 for 1 night on Dec 26, 2019. Will only rate the Motel as 1 or no star.

Found the staff very helpful when our plans changed and I found it difficult to contact lastminute. Thank you Steven for your help.
Verified traveler
We were in an attractive and quite spacious studio unit with a courtyard. The decor, including artwork, was pleasant. We had a couple of malfunctions with appliances but staff dealt with this immediately - and cheerfully. The unit is close to the estuary and a short, lovely walk into the townshio. One slight problem is ventilation in the bathroom. To air it you need to open the windows which are right beside the drive/path to the office so with the windows open other guests or staff can see in. Perhaps security stays on those windows are the answer.
Susan
The garden area needs work
Carol
Road trip NZ
In a nice position and only a few minutes walk from the bay shore and ferry. 10 minute easy walk to restaurants.
Verified traveler
We were lucky to have a BBQ in our small garden, and manage to cook some local meat. A good place to stay for relaxing
Verified traveler
Hidden away, this property was run by a very pleasant young couple. The accommodation, with moderate space, has been partly upgraded (as you see on the web page, the bathroom is an open concept and our unit had a newer tile floor). Just enough room to have open two suitcases and not much else. The patio furniture was not pleasant at all, but the patio area did provide a quaint ambience. We did not cook, but even at that, there was very limited equipment (down to the point of not having any forks in the cutlery drawer). The TV sheet said 7 channels were available, where you could only receive 5. The bed was very comfortable and a freestanding fan was the only means to stay cool.
Overall the price was much more than what I expected for the lower quality of accommodation. Again, nice folks taking care of the place, but they could do better, or charge less.
