Oceanside Motel  

On New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula in Whitianga — a family-friendly beach motel just steps from Buffalo Beach and the Coromandel coastline, minutes from Lost Spring Thermal Pools, Whitianga Beach and the Mercury Bay Museum.

Small-scale and homey with nine guestrooms that feel like a coastal hideaway: each room features a kitchenette (fridge, stovetop and microwave), a private furnished balcony, flat-screen TV and a separate sitting area for easy downtime.

Take in terrace and garden views, fire up the barbecue grills or picnic in the sun; complimentary Wi‑Fi, tour/ticket assistance, luggage storage and laundry keep things easy — and you can wake up to sea-breeze mornings on your private balcony.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi, luggage storage and laundry facilities are available, with free on-site self-parking and roundtrip airport transfers offered for a surcharge.

Room service is available and a continental breakfast is served daily for a fee — simple, convenient starts to coastal days.
