Coastal Motor Lodge, hotel in Thames

Offering free WiFi, Coastal Motor Lodge is set on lovely landscaped gardens directly opposite the waters of Kuranui Bay.

We did not enjoy the property. Our “chalet” had a very rusted cafe table and chairs on the front porch. Yuk. The staff looked like he hadn’t showered in days and wasn’t welcoming at all. I would NEVER recommend staying here. What a rip-off.

Lady Bowen Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Thames

Lady Bowen Bed and Breakfast is a 155 year old hotel and is listed as a Category 2 building on the New Zealand Heritage List.

My daughter met me in Auckland from California and I came from Texas. Barbara and Stu were so sweet, kind and friendly. The breakfast room has a beautiful rectangle table I wanted to take home with me. The breakfast was amazing! Crispy meaty bacon, tasty sausage and the eggs were perfectly round. Thanks again for everything!

    Thames is a quiet town with quite a few coffee shops and a good variety of stores to browse. The supermarket (Pack & Save) was close to where we were staying. There are several locations close to Thames that are worth a visit The Gold mine just north of town Cathedral beach and the hot water beach are worth the time to check out. A scenic drive up to Coramandel town is interesting. Just be careful on the narrow sea side road. Enjoy

    Didnt know which cafe to choose, but this one had a lot of people in it, so we chose this one.Hot chocolate cafe. The big breakfast and the pancakes were delicious. Quaint, busy little township, just caught the tail end of the market. We stumbled on another cafe further up, which sold this devine louise cake & caramel wheaty slice. Yummy. I thoroughly enjoyed the Nakontong Thai restaurant for dinner too.

    Shared bathroom and toilet wasn't good.

    Shared bathroom and toilet wasn't good. Luckily for me there was only one other guest a female but that was awkward as we both wanted to shower at the same time. Lucky for both of us there were not 3 couples staying at the same time.

    The Coastal walkway is a good walk. Old town worth a visit.

    The Coastal walkway is a good walk. Old town worth a visit. Lots of good places to eat in town and some good shops and cafes. Lots of walks up the Kauaeranga river Valley in the Cormandel Forest Park. Good base for surrounding areas, we did full circuit of Carmandel from here. Also enjoyed Gold mines tour at Waihi and walks on the Whatawheta river gorge

    The Thames Goldmine Experience was awesome.

    The Thames Goldmine Experience was awesome. It is run by volunteers that are passionate about keeping the history alive. We've been to several mine attractions, but this is the only one that has original equipment that actually runs for demonstration.

    We liked EVERYTHING about this B&B. It's a great location to explore the Coromandel and surrounding areas. The house is a fantastic size and just for you, no other guests. The hot tub has a stunning view over the nearby beach and bay and the kitchen is so wonderfully packed with everything you need. I wish we would have planned an extra night here just to rest up more as it was the perfect place for reading a book and relaxing a while as part of a big denture driving round New Zealand.

    We liked the little cabin because we have everything we need there, beds, kitchen, fridge and our own bathroom. Perfect for when you travel with little kids. We have a good time there, just bad weather and sick kids, not the best combination but we enjoyed as much as we could. It is a great playgorund in the property and another in Thames, just at 10 minutes drive, my little one loved both!

    The stunning view out to the coast from the deck! From the bedrooms! The upper floor is entirely ours during our stay, it’s beautifully presented and welcoming, our kids love it so much and has been asking to return since the hour we checked out! We cycled all the way from Paeroa to Thames, the host is kind enough to drive me back to Paeroa even though it’s been very late into the evening!

    My husband and I have stayed in a few motels lately. This was the most expensive but very comfortable the bed we had was the most comfortable we have ever slept in. We also loved the fact we could cook her if we wanted to.

    This property is very quaint, and the staff was extra helpful as we acclimated to New Zealand. Our unit was well-sized and perfect for our needs. It's the perfect base of operations for exploring the Coromandel.
