圖圖卡卡海洋品質酒店(Quality Hotel Oceans Tutukaka)

About the hotel itself: certainly it’s no luxury experience, but it is a solid, clean basic hotel perfectly located at the marina if you want to go snorkeling, surfing, scuba diving at poor knights or enjoy (walking at) the beautiful tutukaka coast. The walls of the rooms are a bit thin and you can hear everything through the wall. However, it’s a fair value for money and there are basically no alternatives available.

Tutukaka and surrounding areas is a beautiful place to visit. The room we had at the hotel was probably the nicest we have ever stayed in, both within NZ and on overseas travels. It was a decent size, very clean and had everything we needed. I highly recommend this hotel.

The rooms are large and very comfortable. The check in staff is friendly and warm. Housekeeping was inconsistent at best - they did the bare, bare minimum. It was obvious the toilet was not being cleaned, and possibly hadn't been cleaned well since prior to my stay. Housekeeping staff would regularly forget to empty garbage, replenish towels, and even forgot to service the room at all, on two occasions. This is despite gentle feedback being given to the reception staff. As a solo traveller, I was shocked to find that there was no dinner available in the town at all, on Christmas Day. The town in general was quite unfriendly and unwelcoming, and spending 2 weeks there was an expensive (and unfortunately non-refundable/non-changable) mistake on my part. The diving was underwhelming, and I'm not sure why it is on the list of the world's top 10 dive sites, let alone the top 50. The diving is insanely expensive, with barely any service provided (if you bring your own gear, you wash your own gear) and it is disorganised (on one occasion my gear was strewn around the dive ops gear area) and they even ask you to hang your gear out in the sun (the first rule of equipment care is - do not ever, ever, put it in the sun). Ocean's was pretty much the only option available if you weren't staying at the insanely expensive accommodation being run by Dive Tutukaka, or living in a camper van at the holiday park. I regret visiting Tutukaka and wasting my money there and wouldn't ever go back.

Marina across the street. Clean hotel. Small shops and restaurants onsite and also close by. Amazing beaches are all around the tutukaka area

Your front of house/ receptionist who’s name I can’t remember but had funky glasses she was amazing friendly and helpful so please thank her. You have a gem right there

Neat looking building, huge bed, great view ofcthe marina. It was generally good, and would stay again.

Very kind and helpful 🙂 Excellent customer service

The rooms were fabulous size, comfy beds even the pull out sofa bed was good. Great clean linen and air conditioning worked a treat. Maybe repaint the outside and it will match the inside as it is a top hotel!
