Kingswood Manor Motel
Well maintained rooms, it was clean and tidy fresh towels and face cloths daily. The staff were very polite. Would go back and stay there again worth the amount paid.

Quality Hotel Oceans Tutukaka
The pool is not heated so unless it is sunny for a number of days before, it is cool. The area around it looked weathered. Our room was ok but a bit tired. I didn't think it was worth the money I spent on it.
