Garden Court Motel & Backpakers  

In Tauranga, a short 3 km hop from the city centre and about 10 km from the airport. Close to Tauranga Art Gallery, Memorial Park, The Historic Village and the waterfront sculptures — a handy base for sight-seeing. A family-friendly motel vibe with easy access to local attractions.

Feels like home with a compact, mini-motel layout and simple, comfy rooms. Eleven air-conditioned units feature kitchenettes or small kitchens with stovetops, microwaves and fridges — great for longer stays or families. Rooms come with basics like desks and ironing gear, and the property leans casual and practical rather than flashy.

Take a dip in the seasonal outdoor pool or unwind in the on-site spa and spa tub. Wi‑Fi is available, free parking is on-site and laundry service keeps longer trips easy. Roundtrip airport shuttle is offered at no charge, so arriving and leaving is low fuss.

Wi‑Fi available for staying connected. Front desk operates on limited hours, so plan arrivals accordingly.

Breakfast is available for a fee to start your day without hunting for cafes. A short stroll brings seafood-focused eateries and casual Mexican-style spots for burritos and local flavors.
