Kingswood Manor Motel
Well maintained rooms, it was clean and tidy fresh towels and face cloths daily. The staff were very polite. Would go back and stay there again worth the amount paid.

Quality Hotel Oceans Tutukaka
Great spot to stay in beautiful Tutakaka. The restauraunt was only open limited hours (for breakfast) which was no problem for us, but worth noting for some travellers. There are good places to eat nearby. Room was huge, clean and appeared to be recently renovated.
