We stayed for one night twice as part of our road trip to Gisborne. The motel rooms were like brand new, spotlessly clean and very roomy. The windows and doors are double glazed, so it was quiet despite being on a busy road. Everything we needed was available. We rate this motel as the best we have stayed in.

We had such a lovely stay here, it was perfect for our little getaway - peaceful and private with a cosy and comfortable interior. The location is great as it’s walking distance to town and the local hikes! Susan and Colin were so hospitable - very welcoming and generous, and were there to help in any way! Would definitely stay again!

What Guests Said About Whakatane:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awa Motel was honestly way better than we expected! We were so impressed with our stay and really didn’t want to leave. Everything was comfortable, welcoming and exceeded our expectations. We were actually sad that we couldn’t stay another night, but unfortunately all the rooms were fully booked. That definitely says something! 😂❤️ We will 100% be back, and next time we’ll be much more prepared to stay longer. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. Highly recommend Awa Motel! ❤️

Whakatane was busy. Plenty of shops close buy

Whakatane was busy. Plenty of shops close buy If staying for one night it's suitable, but if you want cheap it's ok. I wasn't offered meal times like in the past so you buy what you want there or near by. Beware Friday night and Saturday can be noisy late night A very interesting point was the history near by about the rock and trees on it

Whakatane is a beautiful town.

Whakatane is a beautiful town. Plenty of cafes, shops and activities. It is very scenic and one of my favourite places in all NZ. There is a lovely river walk and a short drive over the hill is Ohope Beach which is fabulous. The climate is wonderful and the people are friendly.

Great little town and the people are super friendly.

Great little town and the people are super friendly. We ate at the following spots and highly recommend them all: Ataturk Turkish Cafe - (they were nice enough to serve us even though they were about to close at 8.30pm) food was nice and fresh, very filling Cafe 4U - Ate here twice for breakfast. The ladies were ON (amazing) and the food was delish and served in a timely manner even when they were busy Roquette Restaurant & Bar - had our grad dinner here. Lovely meals all 'round and service was great. Drip Desserts - mouthwatering cookies and desserts! ughhh so many to chose from, do not leave Whakatane without grabbing your sweet treat from here!

Stayed at the Riverside Holiday Park - great place to stay with or without the kids. Close to the town center. Walkways in and around Whakatane - take your pick. Plenty of nice places to eat, lots of things to do and see! Sushi shop in the main St, The Strand is my go to! Ohope Beach just over the hill. Aquatic center, Movie theater, parks, beach for the young ones!

Love the small-town community feel and proximity to stunning beaches, marina and water-sports. Lots of choices of hotels/motels to suit most budgets and a good selection of cafe's and restaurants.

Amazing staff, very friendly & polite. Our room was huge! The bathroom is a great size. The kitchen area is well equipped. Parking straight out side. Even though it's on the main road into town, we couldn't hear traffic noise. There are no weird glowing lights from appliances, which I've noticed in other motels.

Beautiful, warm, and peaceful. It felt like a home away from home. Walking distance to supermarket and city center. This place beats any of the surrounding expensive hotels' hands down. Can't wait for my next visit. Thank you, Vince.
