"Wonderful place to stay in Kerikeri - ideally located near the historic end of town in close proximity to lovely walking tracks, sites of interest, and the plough and feather (a lovely gastropub). Beautiful property that makes you feel like you are up in the trees with tūī flitting outside the window and lovely views over the bush valley. Only about 4 rooms in the lodge, and while your room alone has everything you need, you also have shared access to an airy modern lounge, dining and full...

Distinction Whangarei Hotel & Conference Centre

8/10 Good

"Great location, clean property. A shame the spa was getting maintance and the pool was cold not heated."

Bay of Islands Holiday Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most beautiful stay here with our family of 9. we needed two of the rooms which slept 5 per room. The rooms were next to eachother and when we arrived the lovely host said they had moved the bbqs back so we could easily get to each room via the balcony instead of going out around the front. This was super helpful. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms were as well. Has all the basics you need for cooking, mini fridge, toaster, microwave and jug etc. tv in one room had sky, the other one didn’t but it had Netflix and they both had regular channels. There was good wifi which we could easily access. There is laundry facilities on site, the one for the apartments wasn’t working but they gave me coins to use the other one and it was no trouble at all. The supermarket was a couple of minutes walk away which was super convenient and the beach with a playground just a bit further away. Plenty of blankets, and heaters in the rooms to keep warm and cosy. We loved sitting on the balcony in the morning with a coffee and listening to the birds. It was so peaceful, the location is perfect. The host was super friendly and helpful and so knowledgeable on the area offering great advice on things to do and how to get there. Yes there were a few outdoor bugs in the room here and there but that’s to be expected when you are in the middle of the bush and it wasn’t a bother. Rooms were just as advertised. We really really loved our stay."

Continental Motel

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious and immaculately clean. Linen, bedding, bathroom and kitchen - spotless and fresh. Downstairs room with really comfortable kingsize plus single bed. Parking for one vehicle outside the room. Airconditioner was whisper quiet. Receptionist was lovely and called to verify checkin time as I was late. The pool was not open as it is the wrong season and the Main Street situation did not impact. The only issue is the internet - it was hopeless (evening and morning). The maximum time before being bumped was 15 minutes, usually less. Not good when I was attempting to book the next nights accomodation."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Motatau?

The best time to go to Motatau is during the warmer months, specifically from December to February, when the weather is ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the Northland region.
