Reviewed By PhillipB294Easy check in and great parking. What a joy with luggage trollies available to cart luggage up in the lift. We had a 3 bedroom top floor beach front apartment with fabulous views out over the beach and ocean. The apartment was a great size with cupboards stocked with all the plates and glasses etc. for a long term stay. We ate in every night and had a ball playing cards and watching the ships coming and going. The swimming pool was just warm enough for a good swim and my wife enjoyed relaxing in the hot pool on a couple of occasions. We are organizing to meet our friends here again early next year as we really enjoyed our time there. A special thanks to Toni for her effort in sending my phone charger back to me. It was greatly appreciated.

Centrally located, comfortable
Reviewed By KiwiViajeroI stayed her on a Saturday night in May 2022. I didn't plan to use the carpark, so I parked my car on the street just a block from the hotel. There were parking spots right outside but they were taken. The street outside the hotel was relatively quiet but further up there were plenty of restaurants, Starbucks etc. The reception was closed (roughly 6pm on a Saturday night), but I called the number from the pad outside and someone buzzed me in. I collected my key from inside the hotel. That worked fairly well, but I wouldn't want to arrive in the middle of the night! The hotel was tidy and the room was large and comfortable. The wifi worked well. I would be happy to stay here again.

Wonderful B&B close to Bayfair
Reviewed By paullegateI booked a one night stay at Seaside B&B, I arrived by Intercity Bus into Bayfair which was running behind schedule, unbeknown to me Marion the host had driven out to collect me at the scheduled arrival time which I later found out when I arrived at the B&B. I had such a lovely welcome from Marion who made me feel at home immediately and offered me a cup of tea. The single room was ideal with a comfortable bed, there a clock radio and TV set up with Netflix. It was hot during my stay but the fan kept the room quite cool. There was a good amount of storage space for my belongings. The bathroom and toilet were along the hallway and as with the rest of the property immaculately clean. I was offered a full breakfast but all I wanted was toast, there was plenty on offer if I had chosen the full option. The property is a few minutes from the beach, about a 10min walk to Bayfair. There is also a regular bus service from the adjacent bus stop into Mt. Maunganui but I chose to walk partly along Oceanbeach Road and on the beach which took about 1h15 and I got the bus back. Marion kindly drove me to Bayfair for my bus to Palmerston North. Seaside B&B is a wonderful place to stay, unfortunately I was only there for one night. Marion is such a caring host and made me feel so welcome. I want to stay again but I will stay for longer on my next visit.

Absolutely shocking!!!!
Reviewed By Hannah ABooked in online using hotel.com(have used before without issue) went to show up at the Motel only to be told (I think- not a lot of English spoken) that our booking was cancelled, as someone had booked the last room 4 minutes before we did!!! Which I get double bookings can happen (having worked in the industry myself I get it) what I don’t Understand is that they had processed the payment, so with $650 taken from the account and no accomodation at 7pm on a Friday night before a long weekend and staff that didn’t understand or speek a word of English trying to get it refunded turned into an nightmare... After over an hour of trying to talk to the owner of this place, the desk clerk who just kept smiling and saying “im sorry, we have no rooms” and the hotel.com people (who were really nice, and tried to be as helpful as they could) we were left with no where to stay and all other accommodation booked out for a long weekend away. So may want to look into hiring staff that speak enough English to not make a bad situation worse, and check how many rooms you have before advertising them online, or at least sort out some kind of refund policy so when this does happen, you don’t leave people stranded!!!

Lovely B&B
Reviewed By debcol25This accommodation is the downstairs area of a house. It has a very comfy bed, TV that has Netflix, dining area, lounge and kitchen with a bathroom just across the hall. The decor is bright and it is very clean. The host was very welcoming. They supply breakfast items in the accommodation such as cereal, porridge, bread and spreads, juice tea hot choc & coffee. They also supplied snacks such as biscuits, muesli bars and le snak. In the fridge are alcoholic drinks that can be purchased. You can also order soup. I would recommend this B&B accommodation highly for a solo traveller or a couple.
