Top Whangamata Hotel Reviews

Hot Water Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the deluxe family villa, great for our family of 4. Pools were great"

Paku Lodge Resort

6/10 Okay

"Loved the outlook to the beach. The bed was fantastic. Great to have Sky TV. Walking distance to the surf beach. Great proximity to the Old Mill Cafe. The unit could have been cleaner - the outside of the fridge was dirty, toilet wasn’t properly cleaned, vanity sink not properly cleaned. Unusually the policy included washing our own dishes or being charged extra. Could not get hold of anyone to try and check in an hour early. Not a big deal, but would have appreciated a call back. We would stay there again but specifically state that the cleaning needed attention."

Pacific Harbour Villas

8/10 Good

"The bathroom left a lot to be desired. The toilet was mounted on a piece of laminated wood, which did not look hygienic. The toilet seat was very loose. The whole studio looked like it could have had a deep clean around the edges. The bedding was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Location to restaurants was very good."

Athenree Hot Springs & Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in one of the motel units. We had a late check in and our room had the heat pump already on so arrived to a nice warm unit. Staff were great throughout our stay, loved the hot swim both mornings - towels provided for our swim. The motel unit was comfortable and fully stocked with the standard kitchen appliances and crockery. Good sized fridge. Fantastic sunrise in the morning. Will definitely stay again."
