Was easy to locate along Hwy 6 and easy access when leaving. We were upgraded from a studio to a one bedroom which was nice. Had a nice kitchen and balcony to enjoy a drink or meal which we used for our take-away dinner. Nice flat screen tv with Sky cable and bathroom with very nice shower. Air conditioning was... More

My family and I stayed in number one, a two bedroom motel, consisting of one twin room and one double room, bedrooms were a bit on the small side but big enough as you are only in them to sleep. The owner set up a stretcher bed in the lounge for me as an extra which was very comfortable. The... More

Unexpected visit, this motel is right on the SH which is always busy. We got a studio room, which had good amenities for a studio, but the motel didn't seem to offer much else, except for very limited Sky TV channels. The traffic noise was pretty bad for NZ, closing the window didn't seem to matter much. More

We loved Tuscany Gardens motel having stayed in several motels throughout our time in NZ. It was well decorated, clean and even included a little balcony. The staff were helpful enough and we made good use of the laundry services. The only downside was that when we compared it to the other studios we stayed in, this one was a... More

The level of attention by the hosts, the cleanliness and the standard of decor was the best of our whole trip. The rooms are not huge but so well appointed. Restaurants and the beach are all just 5 minute walk away. An ideal base and so well priced. We loved it. More

We spent four nights here and wished we had gone elsewhere. Our unit was very well furnished and maintained, but impractical. Lighting was poor, cooking facilities very limited and the lack of a mat inside made it impossible to avoid tracking wet in when raining. Bedroom was small and gloomy with a walkway past the window. Located on a main... More

The motel was clean but small and the staff was very nice. It was easy to find, yet far away from any attractions or scenery. Just a decent place to lay your head down. More
