We really enjoyed staying here with it's central location. A very short stroll down the street and you're in the midst of a huge range of restaurants, cafes and shopping. Rodney & Pascale were very welcoming and had plenty of sightseeing ideas for us. The room we had was a good size, it was very clean and had the best... More

We stay here every month for work. It is an absolute pleasure to keep coming back. The rooms are spotless and the beds so comfy. I especially love the bottle of fresh chilled filtered water in the fridge!!! It is so handy to town and yet so quiet and peaceful. Staying here makes our 'working week' so enjoyable. Thanks heaps...

I stay at harbour city motor inn regularly for work, as it has a very handy location to downtown Tauranga. Its less than 5 minutes walk in to the centre of town and to restaurants on the strand. I have always received great friendly service and that's what keeps me coming back. The rooms are a decent size and are... More

We booked in for just the one night, looking for somewhere close to restaurants and reasonably quiet. Harbour City is right in the middle of the restaurant area and set far enough back from the main street to be very quiet. The room was very clean, and while not particularly large, it had a kitchenette area with a full size... More

Stayed for one night over the week-end. Very tidy studio room, spotlessly clean. 5 minutes walk to all the restaurants and bars along the Strand in Tauranga and central to all the shops, theatre and art gallery. Great value too. Will definitely stay again.

My husband and I stayed in this motel over the weekend and found the facility very clean and tidy, and the staff incredibly helpful. They were extremely busy at the time with a Lions Convention occuring in a venue across the road, but took the time to be helpful and at no stage did we feel rushed or an inconvenience... More
