Top Tauranga Hotel Reviews

Quest Mt Maunganui

Quest Mt Maunganui

8/10 Good
"I was fooled by the photo on the website that it is walking distance to the beach. However you can still walk to town in 25mins. The bonus is laundry facilities in the room. I was surprised to find out that the price has dropped to $200 instead of $250 p/night if I book on the day. That makes me not wanting to pre book anymore."
