Southpacific Motel

Tucked in Whangamatā on New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula, a short stroll from Whangamata Beach and minutes from the local golf course and town centre. A small family-run motel and conference centre set among subtropical gardens.

Under new management since October 2023, the property offers cute ground-level studio units with private outdoor areas and one-bedroom apartments in the 'Hawaii 5-0' block with air-conditioning. Rooms come with refrigerators, LCD TVs, private bathrooms and coffee/tea makers; decor is warm and relaxed with easy beach-vibe touches. Outside you’ll find tiki-shaded seating, a BBQ area and a spa pool (hot tub) to unwind after a day on the sand.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stay connected with complimentary Wi‑Fi. Pamper yourself at the full-service spa and massage room, hit the fitness centre or join the local diving club. Onsite perks include a bar, restaurant, picnic and BBQ areas, free self-parking, elevator access, laundry facilities and a tour desk to book excursions.

Conference space and a meeting room make this a solid pick for small events, with complimentary high-speed (wired) internet and onsite self-parking for delegates.

An onsite restaurant serves guests alongside a coffee shop/café and bar/lounge. Expect local flavours on the menu and casual options at the BBQ area for relaxed, beachside-style meals.
