Shortland Court Motel  

In the heart of Thames, Shortland Court Motel sits in the city centre — a pet-friendly, easygoing motel steps from the Hauraki Rail Trail, Thames Historical Museum, Burke Street Wharf and Goldfields Shopping Centre.

This small 11-room property keeps it practical and sharp: rooms feature kitchenettes with refrigerators, stovetops and microwaves, plus satellite TV and DVD players. Expect daily housekeeping, an elevator and city-view mornings with a cup of coffee at the window.

Take a dip in the pool, dine in the on-site restaurant and enjoy free on-site parking. Wi‑Fi is available, the desk offers tour/ticket assistance, and pets are welcome.

Laundry facilities, a safe deposit box and express check-in/check-out keep things efficient, with free self-parking onsite.

Full breakfasts are served daily (fee may apply) and the motel has an on-site restaurant showcasing local flavours. Nearby favourite Di Luca's serves popular Italian dishes within easy walking distance.
