    Nice clean property with good facilities and a lovely view.

    Nice clean property with good facilities and a lovely view. It lacked an entertaining deck, but we booked two houses for our large party and the other house had a huge deck, so it was not an issue. All other facilities were very good. We found plenty to do in the surrounding area. The key code we'd been given didn't work when we arrived but a quick call to Bachcare got us the correct code. I'd recommend this property.

    Snells Beach is very scenic with white sand and Pohutukawa trees. It is lovely to walk along the beach. When the tide is out it is a long way to the water, and when the tide is in the water isn't that deep (but that makes it great for kids). There are a few takeaway shops, bakery, Indian restaurant and a pub at Snells Beach. Only a 10 minute drive to Warkworth and Matakana which have more restaurants and shops. Snells Beach is close to the Matakana wine region which has some quality vineyards (some you have to book to visit), and also breweries.

    The hotel is in a great location, with views from the balcony to the sea, opposite several shops and restaurants and just down the road from a delicious Indian Restaurant The Spice Root, recommended by the manager, and the Salty Dog Inn. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and recently renovated. It was great value. It is also only a short distance back to Auckland and to Sandspit for the Royal Mail ferry.

    Really lovely cafes and restaurants, we ate at Little and Local Bistro and the Bayside Bistro. Both were lovely meals, well priced for what we got. We stayed over a long weekend to see the local area and attractions. It was a great location to reach other areas, quite at night and easy driving to nearby places. Didn’t see much else to do in the local area except enjoy the beaches which are really pretty but not for water sports as no surf.

    Unfortunately the room we got was unsafe and unclean, the bathroom light was rusted and did not work and the toilet did not flush properly. We were supposed to stay two nights but left after the first night. Pretty disappointed really :(

    House is roomy, bathrooms are spacious and lovely.

    House is roomy, bathrooms are spacious and lovely. Games room downstairs was a bonus for my grandchildren. The position of the property was good with nice sea view, and Snells is a good place to take trips from. The only downside was the house was very hot in the afternoons/evening from sun, but fans were provided in all bedrooms. That helped , A very nice place to spend a holiday.

    Snells Beach Motel was the perfect place to stay with my young grandchildren when we were visiting relatives in beautiful Snells Beach. The 2 bedroom unit was very comfortable with plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children. It may be an older building, but it was exceptionally clean and had everything you could want in the kitchen. My grandson loved the hot chocolate sachets! We were also fortunate that our unit had views of Snells Beach from the verandah and bedrooms. Definitely recommend this motel.

    It's a lovely lodge, especially if you're a couple looking for a getaway. It's close to Matakana and Warkworth, Tawharanui and many other beautiful beaches. The apartment had everything you'll need during a holiday. Fully equipped kitchen, all the breakfast supplies, a bbq and a beautiful deck with a view on the beach. The hosts were very accommodating and just so friendly and truly cared about our comforts. A nice touch was a fresh ball of fruit on arrival.

    We LOVED the Salty Dog Inn. What a wonderful surprise. Snells Beach is a hidden treasure even in the rain. I booked it for one night on our way from Rotorua to Paihia. I wish we had made this more than in interim stopover. The room was wonderful. The restaurant food delightful. The staff was excellent. And did I mention the great WIFI? You can not go wrong staying here!

    Near the water. Reasonably priced and bed was comfortable and clean. We needed two beds, and they were able to accommodate with a fold out couch. Black out curtains. Checkout easy (just leave key in room). If you like drinking and playing darts the bar/restaurant might be your kind of place.

    Reasonable size of the room and nice garden even in the back of the house. Gas station right next to the hotel and also a liquor store. Pub and restaurant belong to the hotel but I didn't eat there, so no idea about the quality or the prices

    Superb location on the waterfront. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and relaxing. There are not many restaurants at Snells Beach but we did enjoy the Little and Local which was about 10 minutes walk away.

    A good central location in Snells, big car park nearby, spacious room at a good price. Having the pub next door was nice, though it closed promptly at 10.
