Huge apartment, well equipped, lovely bathroom, massive balcony, helpful staff. We stayed here two nights and were very comfortable. We did have to use the car to reach the restaurants but perhaps if we had had more time we would have walked although it would have been a fair way. Worth bearing in mind. We recommend.

As well as the above being true the views out over Mercury Bay and the islands are just fantastic, and we were in a 1 Bedroom downstairs apartment - the view from the upstairs Studios can only be better. The apartment is very well equipped with a decent sized fridge / freezer, oven, microwave, and plenty of cooking equipment. The... More

Friendly staff but this place could do with a makeover. I stayed in an upstairs studio room. It was a good size with a balcony. The kitchenette must have been 20 years old, it was wooden with old appliances. The bathroom was also dated. Im not a fan of standing in a bath to shower and strangely, the toilet was... More

I can highly recommend this motel which deserves its' 5 stars. It has a beautiful setting and it was a delight to sit on the terrace in front of our room looking over the immaculate gardens to the gorgeous Mercury Bay. Another point of difference is that the motel had two couches in the lounge - most motels only have... More

I was so glad to find this place thanks to Trip Advisor. I then went to their web page and made use of one of their 2012 B & B packages. Stayed in a first floor studio mid April, we had booked for 5 nights but stayed the extra night just to go again to the 'Lost Spring' The studio... More

Driving along the beautiful coastline of Whitianga, the Admiralty Lodge Motel caught our eye. From the road it appears to be big enough that they may have rooms available on spec, but small enough to offer a more personal level of service. Rolling up mid morning with our battlebus, (a very underpowered and extremely uncomfortable camper van) it was nice... More

I have to say that this motel is one of the if not the best place we have stayed in on our tour of New Zealand! The room was beautiful and very clean, it even was full of loads of extras (dvd player,full kitchen w/ oven, dishwasher..ect,) that other hotels fail to even have as an option. The view was... More

The Admiralty Lodge has generally had very good reviews on Trip Advisor - and justifyably so in our very recent experience. The motel has changed ownership in the last few weeks, and the new owners made a special offer through my wife's work for a weekend away. With the wonderful (finally) settled weather promising a fine weekend we decided to... More

My family and I stayed at the lodge recently and were amazed at how friendly and accommodating the staff/owners were. They went out of their way to help us book activities, had heaps of good knowledge of the area and even personally drove us to Coramandel Town when we missed our shuttle! I've never met more genuine, caring people than... More
