Plymouth International
Check-in was a breeze and made even more so with Michelle looking after us. Room was beautifully presented - booked a table at the restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal there. Only issue we had was traffic noise which was most intrusive.

Millennium Hotel New Plymouth, Waterfront
We had a great experience at the Millennium Hotel. The food at their restaurant “Salt” was very good. The VIP perk contributed to the meal. The hotel is well located across from the beac, and easy walking distance to the downtown area.

Flamingo Motel
Very friendly check in staff. Room was basic but comfortable and with Aircon. Hot pool was great. Only suggestion for the pool I'd have is a shower nearby (?outdoor) and a way to easily move from the hot to the cold pool. Overall great value for money.
