We stayed here on the Wine Tour seeing Gin Wigmore on the domain. The rooms are first rate, clean, excellent taste in decor adn wonderfully roomy spa baths.... The hotel is centrally located which meant that everywhere was within easy walking distance but above all the welcome was fantastic. Friendly, polite, knowledgable - we woudl highly recomment the Durham and... More

I booked into this motel at 8.30 in the morning and dropped a bag off, I had to cut short our trip to Tauranga and checked out of the motel 144 minutes later, thinking there would be a nominal charge, wrong, I was charged the full room rate, as the owner informed me that he had had to turn bookings...

We are 2 adults with 2 young children aged 5 and under, and stayed in the 1 bedroom spa unit (room 4). The unit exceeds expectation at first impression. The unit was simple but tastefully renovated and clean. The bedding was comfortable and the spa tub was a family favourite. Our unit was quite quiet despite being beside the road,... More

Very small area around the units not much parking. Paying $170 a night i would have expected more. Have stayed in newer motels for much less. On... More

I really enjoyed my stay at the Durham Motor Inn, the rooms and facilities were nice, pretty and clean. Great for families or a nice get away for a couple. LOOOOOOVE the Jacuzzi bathtub!!!! The whole set up was lovely and well taken care off. The managers were great, they helped a lot with recommendations, questions, etc AND Great breakfast!!!!! More

I found this motel tired and dated 1970-80's construction surrounded by busy roads, with a 13 year old TV no DVD player no air cond, $20.00 internet connection fee, where most other motels are free. Also the price is on the high side for the age of the motel, clumsy small car park, generally there are better options out there.... More

Sorry to say but I didnt take my shoes off in the main living area as the carpet was a bit on the grubby side. Most other bits were clean dishes and work sufaces etc. Spa bath had bits missing with a bit of corrosion around the jets. This was the most expensive place we stayed in and didnt reach... More
