Waitao Hotel & Travel Guide\n
If you're thinking about an authentic experience in Tauranga and are on the lookout for Waitao establishments, you'll have a wonderful list to decide between. On our helpful hotel guide, the modern traveler will find 25 accommodations within a 6-mile (10-kilometer) radius of Waitao's downtown core.
The Ridge Country Retreat is one of the best-located Travelocity-listed hotels, one of only a few places within a short walk of the Waitao city center.
The Quest Mount Maunganui can be found 8 miles (13 kilometers) from the downtown area of Waitao. Alternatively, the Trinity Wharf Tauranga is situated 7 miles (11 kilometers) away. More accommodation options worth looking into include the Baywatch Motor Inn and the The Terraces at Ocean Beach.
Why not broaden your horizons and explore the many other attractions located in North Island while you're in the area? Explore North Island's art museums and nature museums and be sure to relish its beaches, coastal plains and forests. Visitors in this section of New Zealand often enjoy snowboarding and skiing.
The nearest accommodation options in Tauranga include Papamoa Beach and Te Puna. Papamoa Beach is 5 miles (9 kilometers) to the northeast of Waitao, while Te Puna is 10 miles (17 kilometers) to the northeast. Papamoa Beach Travelocity-listed hotel options are the Casa del Mare and Royal Palms Papamoa Bed and Breakfast. The Mediterranean Resort and Bethlehem Motor Inn are some of the Travelocity-registered accommodation options in Te Puna.
Ensure yourself a fix of sport with a trek to Waikato Stadium, which is found 55 miles (86 kilometers) to the west of Waitao. Modern visitors wanting to find a room near to the action can compare the Stadium Motel or the Aspen Manor Motel.
For those travelers planning on arriving or departing via Tauranga Airport, you may plan to book accommodation at Hotel on Devonport, or Bennetts Thermal Pools Motor Inn, which are both located close.

CitySide Hotel Tauranga
"solid stay overall. parking was plenty enough for the small hotel and the room i had was quite small, but for one person perfectly cozy and big enough. the bed was super comfy and the water pressure in the shower good. i had a room on the upper floor and there wasn't a lift. had i had more than just luggage for one night, that'd have been quite annoying. breakfast was free for me bc of my expedia status, but otherwise i'd have regretted not going for the cafes tauranga has to offer because it was nothing to write home about. overall, i'd definitely pick it again for a one night stay, but probably not for any longer."
