Spotlessly clean, spacious and very friendly!

Reviewed By Charlotte D

One88 on commerce is a motel run by a passionate couple who want to assure that their guests enjoy the best possible experience. We were very pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness not to mention how spacious and nicely decorated the unit was. They clearly invested to guarantee a good night sleep as the sound proofing is exceptional. Whilst the motel was fully booked, we did not hear the slightest sound of neighboring units. This motels excels on every level and that can be fully linked to the lovely manager and his wife who go the extra mile with a smile!

Great decision

Reviewed By mike385

When you read reviews and check location, accommodation etc. it’s a bit of a guess as to whether you strike gold. We did with Tuscany Villas. In town. Modern. Spacious rooms. Helpful management. Comfortable beds. Amazing shower. Only worry for us that we were adjacent to the busy road but it turned out not to be an issue. Value for money even though a bit on the expensive side. Happy to recommend

Pleasantly surprised

Reviewed By richmondfontaine

We arrived in Wakatane without booking any accommodation and on the main road into the town there are many motels to chose from luckily enough we chose the Alton Lodge. Our hostess couldn't be more accommodating and helpful ( she pointed out walks and drives we could do on a map) and our room was just fine, not 5 star luxury just comfortable and quiet. The only issue is that we only stayed the one night. The other draw card when we arrived was the owners lovely dog, Rozetta(?) She clinched the deal.

Thornton Beach Holiday Park

If your looking for somewhere just a little off the beaten track, but still within 5mins of great Country Cafes and shopping - Book a holiday with us and experience our award winning hospitality. Thornton Beach is situated between Whakatane and Matata in the BOP. We are closer than Ohope for many visitors and offer a New Zealand beach holiday with heaps of fun for the whole family. We have many campsites available and various types of accommodation to suit all needs and budgets. The views from our Holiday Park are spectacular. Whale Island is in front of you and New Zealand's only live marine volcano White Island can be seen in the distance. The ocean beach stretches out at the parks doorstep and the Rangitaiki River is also metres away. With panoramic sea views and known for its great catch, Thornton Beach is a fisherman's haven. Land based anglers can surfcast towards Whale Island, or you can launch the boat at the boat ramp which is only 200m from the park and head out to sea. Thornton Beach is lovely and quiet. But besides peace, tranquillity, safe swimming and great fishing, there are many more activities and attractions in the area of Thornton Beach Holiday Park.

Long weekend

We've stayed here several times in both a tent and now a caravan. We love that the estuary is safe for the kids to swim, kayak and paddle board. Great ammenities and the staff are friendly too. We went with friends and then though we all booked separately they made sure we were all placed together.

Dubious Accomodation

Reviewed By CherrieSch

We visited the Whakatane i site and booked and payed for a nights accomodation through the agent there. On arrival at tourist court we were unimpressed with what we found and worse than that we were required to pay another $50 over and above the tariff we had already paid at the I Site. We did not stay and the I Site placed us in another accomodation.
