Our studio room at Baywatch Motor Inn was spacious , clean, had up-to date decor and facilities. We chose to stay here for a one-night weekend and were very pleased we did. Given the foul weather we especially appreciated the heat pump and extra plush-pile blanket. There was no noise from the road due to hush glass. This place is... More

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, tidy and modern. Very comfortable set up, and the hosts were absolutely lovely - even racing out with some things we left in the wardrobe before we left. I was pleased to see so many Sky TV channels in a motel! Easy parking and location, we will surely stay there again.

Genuinely nice hosts and friendly, helpful staff. Very handy - not right in the busy centre, which is great, but a 10 minute walk to the shops and restaurants of Mt. Maunganui. Across the road a handful of cafes and Chinese, Filipino and Japanese restaurants, and a dairy. On a lovely day, nice easy 5-10 min walk to the beach... More

Good location within walking distance of downtown restaurants and Shops, good accessible room, great property managers - they were sooo helpful and kind even though they were taking over for the owners while the owners were on holiday. Room was large, quiet, clean and comfortable. internal parking was close to the room and easy to get in and out of.... More

We stayed here over the Easter weekend. The only downer for us was the price every accomodation charges here in Easter! But that was expected. the hosts are lovely. Towels for the beach and pools. nice rooms. Big. Nice and big bathrooms. Lots of channels on TV. WIFI. Walking distance to everything. Will certainly return.

Stayed at this resort for a weekend, very clean room, very efficient service and the location is in walking distance to very good restaurants and for the slightly fitter, the beach. The rooms unfortunately overlook a main road, so after midnight we were woken by some drunks heading home..no drama though. I am of the opinion that the room rate... More

Hi, Thank you for providing your review of your stay here at Baywatch. Easter weekend is a very busy time in Mount Maunganui especially with the fantastic Jazz Festival. Because of the demand there is about a $30 - $40 premium for this weekend and our wages cost is really high also with the Stat Holidays. Most people do comment... More

I stayed here for 1 night as part of a summer trip and would recommend to others. I chose to stay here mainly because of the in room spa bath, which was a welcome retreat with a bottle of wine whilst on holiday! The room was very clean & had everything I needed. Even though it is on the main... More

We stayed two nights in Baywatch on the upper floor. We had a king Studio room which was spacious with a good décor. The bay windows gave a touch of class to the feel of the room however the view was only of the street and houses. The traffic noise was of such a level that we closed the two... More

Stayed in a studio room at the Baywatch for an extra long weekend. Was great! All staff were very friendly, rooms were super clean, couldn't ask for more! A little bit out of town but it's a nice walk and plenty of facilities close by. Free internet was also very handy. Would definitely stay here again!
