About Us

Situated in a waterfront cul-de-sac, less than 8 minutes’ walk from Tauranga’s restaurants and bars, a three-minute walk away from Memorial Park, and a 12-minute drive away from Mount Maunganui, you can't beat us for location.

With a range of recently renovated rooms, boasting a warm, welcoming atmosphere, our central Tauranga accommodation is perfect for business and leisure travellers alike. Take to the harbour on one of our complimentary kayaks or experience our spectacular sunrises over the peaceful inner harbour. There is plenty of space to relax and make the most of our waterfront location.

Two of our luxury apartments offer uninterrupted harbour views, some of our motel rooms have partial inner harbour views.

With plenty of off-street parking, whatever brings you to the Harbour View Motel, your hosts Bronwyn and Kathie look forward to making sure your stay is comfortable, convenient and memorable.

We are proud members of ASURE Accommodation Group.

In true Kiwi spirit, the ASURE Accommodation Group was set up with solid values by passionate people to ensure all guests fully experience its fantastic hospitality.
