Guest Reviews
- Sally (8/5): Ideal for our needs. -
- Sarah (8/5): I had a very pleasant stay and loved the big room and the lovely tropical garden - Lovely big room and plenty of space with a kitchen. The tv was great and easy to use. It was easy to heat and stay comfortable with the air conditioner. The bed was very comfortable. Very minor gripe because the toilet seat was wobbly and felt a bit cheap and the drain in the shower was loose and shifted when you stood on it
- Manon (10/5): - Heerlijk met zwembad, ruime kamer, lekker buiten ontbijten bij picknicktafel, dichtbij supermarkt
- Laïza (8/5): Motel parfaità - L'accueil, le calme, et l'insonorisation des chambres impeccable Rien à redire
- Nunia (10/5): I would book again. - It was spacious, very comfortable bed. The view front door and back was immaculate. The aircon accommodated our stay and the parking was right in front of our room so it was convenient. It didn't have a stove installed but an electric one, however we didn't have an extension cord so cooking was quite a hassle.
- Gemma (8/5): -
- Pia (10/5): -
- Kassy (7/5): - Accomodation was large enough for our family of 5. The staff were super helpful in setting up an extra bed for us. The accomodation was clean and tidy and perfect for our short stay
- Peter (9/5): -
- Amy (10/5): -
- Joanna (7/5): A great spot to stay! - The rooms were large, great outlook and very clean. I didn't see a guide for using the TV.
- Geoff (7/5): -
- Caitlin (9/5): -
- David (10/5): -
- John (4/5): First time stay was enjoyable. The second time was disappointing. - I’ve stayed here before and had a nice motel room which matched the photos on the website. The motel room this time didn’t match the website photos. The bathroom had things like a towel rail that was not properly fitted to the wall and the toilet stopped flushing.
- Denise (7/5): Bit noisy from main road and not many restaurant and bar options in town. - Location meant we could spend the day touring the Coromandel Peninsula and reach our next destination north of Aukland the following morning. The hotel is set in nice gardens with lots of fruit trees and good parking. Noise from the main road. No ice machine but the manager was able to provide some. Pool not heated. Limited facilities and activities in Thames.
- Gerard (10/5): - Breakfast N/A .Location fine. 1 Mile to restaurants
Would stay there again.
That's enough
- Tero (8/5): -
- Ross (9/5): Overall very good - Overall stay was very comfortable and reasonably priced. Pool complex a plus, shame no Sky TV. Road noise at peak time a little annoying.
- Michael (8/5): -
- sandra (6/5): An enjoyable stay - The hotel was clean and tidy. The rooms were quite spacious. It is a little dated but well maintained and comfortable. The hotel is located on the outskirts of town and is not within walking distance of any shops or cafes .
- Carolyn (9/5): -
- Isha (3/5): Poor! - Close to town The bed was like sleeping on a brick floor it was so hard and uncomfortable . Also we were not given any milk on arrival or in the room fridge.
Not very impressed.

- Speirz (9/5): Clean, comfortable, helpful team, Thank You team Avalon! - Clean, well setup, good in room accessories provided too. Plus great hosts! They were really warm and receptive to us, even being on their Xmas day, they still smiled and were incredibly helpful. Bottom of some walls showing major wear, some doors need repainting, just detracts away from overall experience but doesn't physically affect the great room experience, more so the aesthetic appeal.
- Karen (7/5): Two nights - Good sized accomodation Room was missing light bulb and extra toilet paper. Also, we stayed 2 nights, but room didn't get made up even though we put the sign up to have it done. Room decor was tired and visibly damaged. For the price we paid we expected a higher standard, it felt like a budget motel.
- BadBacchus (10/5): Would definitely stay again. - Friendly staff. Large, super quiet, and very clean room. Nice pool. Tight parking
- Joann (8/5): - Lovely place, bed was comfortable. Close to what we needed. Had washing machine and dryer so was able to do some washing. Was close to a main road but never heard noise during the night. Nothing

- รัตนา (8/5): - Beautiful place
- Dianne (9/5): Don’t be misled by the appearance of this property. In terms of space and comfort, it was one of the best places we stay - Very large rooms with kitchenette.

- Mark (7/5): -
- Warren (10/5): -
- Linda (4/5): - Close to town. Nothing of the place stood out really. Good that we were the only people in the entire motel. Very basic Should have blinds or sheer curtains besides the heavy curtain for abit more privacy.
Need to check that the sink is cleaned better.
- Denise (6/5): - Room was warm nice heat pump. Shower had no liquid soap in dispenser no shampoo shower worked well.
No milk in fridge. Electric blanket on bed.

- Lavinia (10/5): -
- Gillian (8/5): -
- Jannis (8/5): -
- Kay (10/5): Thames delight. - Very clean and beautifully presented with imaginative towel arrangements. My husband didn't like the awkward bathroom door. A sliding door might work better.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Kitchen needs a clean - Property itself it’s great but the utensils in the kitchen need a good clean. Cups and cutlery were dirty, we had to rewash everything before we could use it.
Cooktop dirty too.
The rest of the property was nice and clean. No complaints
- Dianne (5/5): Had to ask for sheets and a clean mid way through, no toilet cleaned or vacuum - Handy Noisey
- Don (7/5): Good - The location was good, and it was generally clean. Staff were nice on arrival. Staff not around other than arrival. Skirting boards dirty. Woken up very early by someone having a heated discussion on her phone right outside our room. Staff not interested in what Thames had to offer. Pillows uncomfortable.
- Barry (9/5): Awesome - Was upgraded to executive suite.
Receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Nothing
- Allan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Margaret (8/5): Good spot for a stay over. Great staff - good price - basic facilities. - Staff were lovely - basic facilities. Warm, great room service, nicely appointed kitchen. Had a stuffy smell, bathroom badly laid out, the location is unfortunately next to a depot, tired furnishings. But compared to options in Thames - I think we did well.
- Julie (9/5): Superb -
- William (6/5): - Spotlessly clean, the cleaner does a fabulous job. Good crispy sheets, comfy room, nice grounds
- sarndrab2019 (4/5): Disappointing - Cleanliness of room was great which is a big thing for me.
We chose this place from the reviews - my. Mother in law was rushed to Thames Hospital and we needed some where to stay.
First night - smoke alarm went off 3 times and at 2.30am we had to pull it off the ceiling.
Told the office the next morning but it never got replaced.
Second night - the room above us played loud music until 2.45am - don’t know what they bother having. a no tolerance noise policy because our after hours phone calls went to message bank.
Very disappointing….
