Mission Belle Motel
MOTEL $$$
( 0800 202 434, 07-575 2578;

;
cnr Victoria Rd & Pacific Ave; d/f
from $130/190; )
With a distinctly Tex-Mex exterior (like something out of an old Clint
Eastwood movie), this family-run motel goes all modern inside, with especially good
two-storey family rooms with large bathtubs, plus sheltered barbecue and courtyard
areas.
Westhaven Motel
MOTEL $$$
( 07-575 4753;
www.westhavenmotel.co.nz
;
27a The Mall; units $100-210; )
The 1969 archi-
tecture here is funky, but the new owners are modernising things room-by-room (get in
now if you're a retro fan!). Full kitchens are perfect for self-caterers, and it's an easy
walk to the shops and restaurants. The most affordable motel in miles.
Mt Maunganui B&B
B&B $$$
( 07-575 4013;
www.mountbednbreakfast.co.nz
; 463 Maunganui Rd; s/d incl cooked breakfast
from $70/100; )
This good-value five-room B&B on the main road into town offers
a cosy guest lounge, basic shared kitchen, pool table, barbecue and cable TV. The two
rooms at the front cop a bit of traffic noise, but the rest are fine. Good for groups.
Belle Mer
HOTEL, APARTMENTS $$$
$$$
( 07-575 0011, 0800 100 235;
www.bellemer.co.nz
; 53 Marine Pde; apt $190-450; )
A
flashy beachside complex of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, some with sea-
view balconies and others opening onto private courtyards (though you'll more likely
head for the resort-style pool terrace). Rooms are tastefully decorated in warm tones with
soft edges, and have everything you need for longer stays, with full kitchens and laun-
dries.
