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.

Ibis Hamilton is situated on the banks of the Waikato River, in the city centre. It is 10 km from Hamilton International Airport. Hobbiton Movie Set & Farms Tours is 40 minutes' drive away.

Ibis Hamilton Tainui offers easy access to river walkways, cafes and restaurants. The property is 600 metres from Hamilton Museum and 5 minutes' drive from Hamilton Lake. As always the Ibis breakfast is first rate. Good coffee, fruit, eggs, bacon, or sausage, three different kinds of juice and all sorts of gluten free offers. Loved how they had full fat milk fresh from a bottle for my long black coffee. We could even eat outside on the balcony overlooking the river. The staff were helpful and friendly, of course.
