A night at Durham Motor Inn
This is a great place to stay.Not knowing Tauranga that well,I took a little while to find location.Parking right outside room,no stairs to climb,shower organized,so when you turn the water on you don't get sprayed with cold water.(think about it)Easy taxi ride to where I had to visit.Close to down town,eating places/drinking venues,but slight uphill walk on the way home.All in all one of the better places I have stayed on my world tour this year.
Verified traveler
the property was very clean, and tidy and the unit was very roomy and comfortable. It was handy to the town centre and easy to access.

Colin
the owners were fantastic and the unit was very clean. just little things like no little butters in the fridge which we didnt notice till we make the kids toast in the morning. also with sleeping in living/kitchen area would be nice if there was a lamp or dimming light. Couldnt have the bathroom light on without a really noisy extractor kicking in which wasnt great when kids got up in night for bathroom. would definately recommend staying here though but would be nice to have these thoughtful improvements

Raymond
Its wasn't nice being told we had to pay a $500/$300 bond on arrival. We were treated as trouble makers when he found out were had arrived for a stag and then threatened to cancel our booking. Using the previous groups behaviour as if we were going to behave the same. Double checking our rooms to see if there was damage. Not nice and I do understand why. He did however honour his word and refund the bond. He even rubbished Expedia for not showing that there was a bond on the website. In saying this, the place was left in excellent conditions by our whole group. I would if you are old and have kids, but young people ethnic people stay way.

Last minute booking and we changed it after our first night. Management were helpful and able to accommodate our request.
Relaxed and comfortable setting.
Our room for 2 adults, 2 children was big enough we weren't falling over each other or our gear.

Undergoing progressive renovation currently, however the staff and hosts were very helpful and friendly to deal with. Ideal location close downhill walk to the Strand.

Fantastic location!
Two minute walk up the road from the restaurants, park and water front.

Renovating
The motel is well past due for renovation ( or demolition? ) A fact we discovered at checking in time. The condition was not worth the nightly rate imo but Tauranga did not have much else to offer sadly.
Verified traveler
Badly needs an upgrade to make it a genuine 4 star motel. We continue to use it only for it's proximity to the CBD
Kevin
Needs updating and tvs need to work
Close to town expensive for what it is compared to others

Nice motel, central snd accessible
I enjoyed my experience at Durham, the staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful.
My room had all the basic amenities i required and had an amazing spa bath.
My shower was an older model and had unsteady flooring as was the couch. These were minor observations and my stay was still very enjoyable and pleasant and the staff went out of their way to provide a great service.

It was in a great location, everywhere we wanted to go was walking distance. Unfortunately the room was in dire need of refurbishment. The surface clean was ok. However, if you looked at the ceiling fans and grooves in the shower door frame not a pleasant sight - in ground dirt.
Greg
Functional but tired
Functional motel in a good location but certainly a bit tired. Not terrible by any stretch, but just let down by some things being broken or missing (broken chair, no rubbish bin in kitchen etc). TV channel options not great. Also free internet was useless and lasted about 2 minutes.
Verified traveler
Good location, undergoing a refresh
We were quite happy with the Durham. The location is just a stroll from the waterfront restaurants etc. The room was a bit tired but apparently the are being refurbished very soon, this may even be underway now. The shower was very small but there's a big spa bath, I guess you can only fit so much.
lana
Easy to book a room, helpful staff.
It was a bit hard to sleep as the room was right next to a busy road which was quite noisy all night.
Also the spa bath in the room was draining water as fast as it was filling up - which was a bit disappointing as I specifically requested a spa bath.

The care taker of the Motel is extremely negative. We killed couple of cockroaches. Had no hot water in the morning. And there was cobwebs on the roof. Very disappointing, never again.

Unexciting but clean and convenient

Jaded and Dated Motel
The photos on the website don’t accurately reflect the Motel, the interior of the rooms was very dated, the carpet, wallpaper are all very tired, some of the wallpaper beginning to oeel away. It wasn’t the nicest place to stay. On my first night I found hair (not mine!) in my bedsheets. I won’t be returning to this motel on my next visit to Tauranga. There are plenty of other hotel/motels for a similar price that are better value for money. I would avoid if you have a choice.
Verified traveler
Said free wifi the hotel gave out daily vouchers which meant you had to go to the office no good when you work late
Verified traveler
\nClose to CBD
The room needs updating, apparently this is to be done next year. The TV didn't work properly. When I sat on the dining chair screws fell out. They definitely need new cleaners, there was caked on dust on the chairs and the floor around the edge of the bathroom needed a good scrub..
Verified traveler
Ok but not greag
Close to town, restaurants and bars. The room was tired and needed a good clean. The bathroom was very old and the ceiling extractor fan was so dirty it is surprising it stayed attached to the ceiling. Check in was pleasant and efficient. Was a disappointment for a special weekend away.

Welcoming and friendly accommodation
Our stay at Durham Motor Inn was excellent. The staff were very welcoming on arrival and friendly at all times we interacted. The location is great and all facilities are provided within the rooms.

Easy walk to shops & eateries
The motel was chosen for its location to shops & restaurants as we could walk to them. While staff were great, the room is tired. The bed needs replacing along with overall updating of the room.

Tidy suitably priced Motel handy to downtown Tauranga and access to the Mount. Staff were pleasant to deal with (Relief Manager) and quite location.

Tardy Rooms, Rude Manager
We were greeted to a terse and somewhat arrogant Manager of the Motel. His tone is very gruff and he is obviously under pressure in just checking people in/out. The room was average, but certainly not worth the rate paid. The toilet light didn't work, the bathroom fan would wake people a block away and outside the back of our room were nappies that had been thrown out the window - that had been there so long they were mouldy.
Would never recommend and will never be back.

Handy to everything.
Town, restaurants in walking distance. Spa bath in spa room didn't have ON switch so couldn't use jets but good bath for bubble bath. Could use new wider curtains to black out daylight/night lights.

Basic and comfortable
Rooms are quite basic, but clean and comfortable enough to stay. We were very happy.
margaret
This motel while very handy to downtown is n need of an update.
Welcoming me was great and when we found our fan didn't work a replacement was fast in coming.
If you want something that you is handy and don't mind early morning noise I would recommend

Handy location in the city
Host was very accommodating when I needed a late checkin time after making a late booking , the WiFi wasn't quite suitable for my work purposes but that didn't really matter. Nice and quiet.
