We arrived straight from the airport after a flight from UK, couldn't have chosen a better spot to relax and unwind. Glenn the owner was really welcoming and helpful and the room was lovely with it's own private patio garden. It's an easy walk into town around the pretty harbour and a great base for exploring the area

lovely motel, very clean and modern, recently updated. gorgeous private patio. good location to walk to the bay and 10 min walk to town. idealy situated to tour the coromandel peninsular. very friedly and helpful owner, plenty of spades for hot water beach!

We were originally only staying for one night but this motel was so good we booked for a further four. Glenn did everything to make our stay special. We cannot recommend highly enough. the location makes it easy to see the sights in the surrounding area. we had breakfast each day in our room and it was quite delicious

This was our first visit to Tairua and as American travellers, I "booked blind" online...we were delighted! Glenn was the perfect host, our family unit (the end unit facing the harbor) was ideal...spotless, well-equipped and comfortable enough for 5 adults. Laundry and beautiful landscaping topped it off. Great location: not downtown and a nice walking trail to town. Stay here!

My wife and I spent two nights at Tairua Shores and were very pleased with our garden view studio accomodation. The property is located within a short walking distance to the waterfront and town. We made easy day trips to Hot Water Beach and the Cathedral Cove area. Gary was very accomodating and allowed us a late checkout on our... More

It's been years since I've stayed in a motel but Tairua Shores makes me wonder if I need to revisit them. We had come from a B&B in Cooks Beach which cost us $100 more a night and offered nothing that this place didn't. We had a superior chalet, a studio cabin that was modern and stylish with lovely local... More

We returned to stay at Tairua Shores Motel for the second time in November 2012. The first time we stayed I thought Tairua was paradise with its beautiful surroundings, sea and hills. The accommodation at Tairua Shores is first class, comfortable, immaculate, spacious and of an extremely high standard. There are tiny private gardens with lovely garden furniture. This is... More

We picked this motel based on it's tripadvisor ratings and the pics on their website. Lovely modern room in an excellent location - just a 10 minute stroll along the lakefront into the town where there are shops, the pub and eating options. The room had a little seating area outdoors which was beautifully landscaped for quite a small space.... More

We booked this via the net and were delighted when we arrived to have a happy host, genuinely pleased to see us. Nice immaculate room, little private courtyard and spacious generally. A really helpful manager who supplied beach towels and shovels for the local attraction, the hot beaches- no charge v $5 everywhere else. Indeed, he was like a local... More
