Top Whangamata Hotel Reviews

Pacific Harbour Villas

10/10 Excellent

"What a nice and neat place to stay. Definitely worth checking out"

Coastal Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay. The accommodation is conveniently located just North of Thames. It is a short five minute drive into town. The view from the room to the sea is nice. The room is spacious. The balcony/deck - which also connects to the neighbouring rooms with a table and two chairs is nice and spacious, too. We do like the small kitchen to prepare our own breakfast and fridge to store chilled and frozen goods. The staff is friendly and accomodating."

Lazy Days (at Whangamata)

8/10 Good

"This house is in a great location! So good to be able to walk to the beach and the southern estuary with young kids. The house is split across two levels with the access to each level from external staircases, and is kitted out with well loved furniture. The property itself has a great fenced yard which the kids loved playing in."

Central beach location 5mins walk to beach, 10 mins walk to town. Dogs welcome.

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely well appointed bach in a great location with a walk to the beach. Warm and sunny and has everything you need for your stay. The hosts were super helpful and we would definitely come back!"
