Tairua Shores Motel enjoys a harbourside location close to the Tairua Wharf, and it takes 2 minutes to drive to the town center or a 10-minute beach walk overlooking Mt Paku and Tairua Harbour. It offers barbecue facilities, laundry services, free on-site parking, free WiFi access, beach towels and shovels. Nicely laid and close to everything we did as well as a 3 minute walk to bakery if you wanted to grab easy food on the way to your activities. The room was very spacious and it was quiet.

Just a 3-minute walk from Te Koutu Lake, Cambrian Lodge Motel features a relaxing hot tub, an outdoor pool and free WiFi. The air-conditioned rooms offer a flat-screen TV with over 50 satellite channels. We were so impressed with the service provided by Herman, sorting out late check in for us and then when my brother left his jacket with his house keys in his picket in the wardrobe Herman went above and beyond to get it couriered to Auckland the next day for us so my brother would have it before he returns to the UK. So grateful and would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking to stay in the area.
