This is a great Motel. Having spent 4 weeks travelling around New Zealand we have seen and stayed in a good selection of hotels and motels. This is head and shoulders above the standards of many.

Pohara is a very good location to discover the beautiful Golden Bay. The Pohara Beach Motel is nearly direct tot he beach front in a sunny area. The Beach itself is long and wide when the tide is low. We stayed in one of the Garden Units with two rooms, a bedroom and a living room with full kitchen. There... More

As the name says it is right on the beach so excellent location. We stayed there one night only and that motel has everything you can wish for. We had one bedroom unit and it was very spacious. We also had a balcony with a beach view. The place was spotless clean.

Stayed here for 2 nights on peak holiday period in a mini basement studio with ensuite, which is very a small room with a low ceiling situated in the basement of one of the larger units. Forget about bringing in your entire luggage, you will not have space in this basic unit for all of your gear. Also, because the... More
