Independent Pataua hotels

"Save your money and choose a half decent hotel instead. The property is very run down and looks nothing like the images they have online. Really regretted spending the extra to stay here"

"Great location, Great vibe away from Auckland and very friendly and helpful staff. Amazing experience!"

"Reception is unattended after hours and on the weekends. You have to call a number for someone to come done. Slightly inconvenient as I was going to request to leave my bags behind the counter while I went to my meeting but there was no one there and I didn’t have time to wait. "

"All good"

"Okay for a one night stay. Right in town so easy to get around. The hotel is old so you get what you pay for. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good, so that was all that I wanted for the price."

"Good value good location, no fuss "

"Beautiful place and so close to the beach, thank you!"

"We were in Whangarei heads area for a sailing regatta and staying in this bach made our week really special. They have kept all the quirky charm of a well renovated Kiwi bach yet tastefully added to it so that our group of 10 fitted easily and had plenty of space to spread out and relax. The kitchen is small but very well equipped with everything we needed and the fridge was large plus an extra fridge if needed. We loved the very large dining table so that we could all eat together. Best of all is the wonderful view across the estuary and the kayaks. Pataua south is a relaxed quiet seaside village and we enjoyed the walks to both outer beaches and jumping off the foot bridge! I would love to return with my family for a holiday "

"Excellent - very nice, well equipped room. Bonus was having a nice laundry room available as well."
