Bay Palm Motel  

On Mount Maunganui’s shoreline in Tauranga — just about 150 metres from the beach and a short walk to Bayfair Shopping Centre and Baywave. Close to ASB Baypark, Classic Flyers NZ and Mount Maunganui Beach, this ocean-side motel puts surf, shops and stadiums within easy reach.

Sixteen spacious, fully self-contained units keep things simple and smart. Rooms feature kitchenettes or stovetops with refrigerators and microwaves, pillowtop beds, safes, satellite TV/DVD and coffee/tea makers. Daily housekeeping, ceiling fans and friendly hosts round out the tidy, relaxed vibe.

Take a dip in the heated swimming pool (seasonal outdoor pool noted and indoor pool listed in some descriptions), lounge in the garden or fire up the BBQ and picnic areas. There’s a spa option, tour/ticket assistance, complimentary Wi‑Fi, luggage storage and limited-hour airport shuttle service. Expect sea-breeze mornings and easy access to local attractions.

A business center and conference/meeting facilities (around a 30-seat setup) make this a practical stop for small events. Complimentary newspapers in the lobby, luggage storage and free on-site parking are available.

An on-site restaurant serves local fare and there’s limited-hour room service. Continental breakfasts are offered for a fee (typically served around 7:30–8:30 AM).
