Last minute booking as flight out of Tauranga cancelled. Delighted with the one bedroom suite as I was travelling with a teenager. MacDonald’s 5 min away and New World 15 min walk. Owners sympathetic and let us check out 1 hour later than normal.

We stayed here for close access to Blake Park for our boys 7s wknd. Great location (being directly opposite the park!) Right frm booking, through to stay & check out, a special mention to Lisa - thank you, for your 5 star service. Our room was easy to access, parking just outside. Nice & clean facilities, room was clean & tidy, all room needs were adequately provided for. Having an air conditioned room was so good as the weather at the time was a scorcher and feedback from some of our group travellers (booked at other places) were, we were truly spoilt.😊 I would definitely recommend the Aquarius Motor Inn as a place to stay. A great destination for families, with the pool & spa a real treat. Thank you for your warm service.
