“A superb find. Spotless accommodation and excellent hosts.”

Reviewed 9 May 2013 via mobile

We stayed here for 2 night having intended to stay just one. Spending 6 weeks in NZ its fair to say we had a good degree of experience of accommodation at every level (always well above average). This place is a very nice motel which was head and shoulders above other motels in its class. The accommodation is spotless with... More

We arrived planning on staying just the one night however after a very warm welcome from our hosts and seeing our very well equipped room we decided to stay longer. The rooms are super clean and very well appointed with great attention to the little things. As a few people mentioned the motel is near a road but unless you... More

“Spotless motel”

Reviewed 31 March 2013

We had two nights at the Tourist Court over Easter. The rooms were spotlessly clean and had everything necessary for an enjoyable stay. The proprieter was very pleasant and lent me a bike to ride along the cycleway/walkway that runs along the riverside into town. We had two rooms near Landing Road which is very busy and the traffic noise... More

Thanks for your honest comments. As the new owners we are striving to make each guests stay a pleasant experience. We will be working on ways to reduce the traffic noise! Whakatane hope is certainly a great place to visit. We hope you return soon. More

“Quite noisy motel”

Reviewed 25 February 2013

Spent the night of Dez. 25th 2012 at this motel, because we failed in making a reservation at a B&B in Whakatane. It´s situated far away from central Whakatane and right on a busy main road, therefore quite noisy.. Rooms are o.k., but will need some refurnishment. Gladys was very helpful in reconfirming our White Island- reservation. All in all... More

My Mum & I had the pleasure of staying with Gladys & Kelvin recently. As we both use walking sticks they helped us with our luggage when we decided to take a larger unit upstairs. We were very impressed with the cleanliness & the extra little touches. A very friendly couple that work hard to keep to a high standard.... More

The Tourist Court Motel is out of the centre of Whakatane but an easy, enjoyable walk into the centre by the river. The motel owner was extremely pleasant and helpful, the accommodation of good size with everything required for a short or a long stay. The one downside was the fact it was next to a fairly busy road BUT... More

Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed the facilities we had to offer. We have sold this business but the new owners will look after all future guests just like we did. We are moving to a bigger motel in Tauranga - Academy Motor Inn. More
