Top Matawaia Hotel Reviews

Edelweiss Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Our 3rd time here in 2months. We have been coming here consistently since our first visit. Would highly recommend, they have hot pools, spa. We ended up changing our room from the upstairs room to a downstairs room so we can park close to our car and also charge."

Bounty Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great motel in a great location. Just over 5 minutes walk from the wharf (we arrived by InterCity bus). At check-in the lovely lady on reception (thank you for the gorgeous oranges from her garden) gave us a bottle of milk to go with the generous supply of tea, coffee, hot chocolate sachets in the room, and the small teapot and coffee plunger in the kitchenette of our spotlessly clean 1 bedroom apartment. Large main room with sofa, smart TV, kitchenette, dining table & 2 chairs. Slept very well in the extremely comfortable super king size bed and very peaceful surroundings. Generous sized wardrobe and a shower room with fluffy towels, storage for your own toiletries and a good supply of shampoo sachets etc. All of the staff we met were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this motel."

Copthorne Hotel and Resort Bay of Islands

8/10 Good

"Love the breakfast and the discounts given for the children. Also love the pool area especially for families. Room for improvements: Maybe provide a heated pool during Spring time so that we can make the most of our time there and also need to clean the rooms daily. The cleaners only cleaned on the first day. Without a valid reason, they stopped providing this service. I had to call the receptionist to come and clean/empty bins/provide new towels. Also, the TV system needs to upgraded with a wifi connection to link with phones/laptops etc. It’ll make the experience more enjoyable. Other than that, we had a comfortable stay here."

The Duke of Marlborough Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a lovely older building that was well maintained and had the best outdoor dining water-view. The dining/bar had great ambiance and the food was unique and delicious. They also had a free pickleball court usage near their property. The staff were happy and helpful. The only problem was a bit dampness feel to the room rug."

Aloha Seaview Resort Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location the staff was very friendly and helpful with my trailer Thank you 🙏"

Kingsgate Hotel Autolodge Paihia

"The property is dated so it is clean but dosent look it. staff really helpful. the pool was closed when we were there. It was easy to check in and out."
