The Olive Motel

My wife and I stayed at the Olive Motel for two days during a two week hiking tour of New Zealand's North Island while we explored the beautiful tracks around Coromandel. We found the room immaculately clean, nicely decorated, and very spacious. Having a second room area gave us additional living options. The small kitchen area was thoughtfully provided with everything needed to prepare simple meals. The location was excellent too. The hotel was just off the main road and quiet, yet within easy walking distance to town. The hotel owner David was extremely helpful and nice. My wife had taken a bad fall earlier in the day, and the local pharmacy had just closed by the time we arrived. David saved the day by providing us with directions to medical care and a well stocked first aid kit to get us through the night. The Olive Motel also had a convenient and easy to use washer/dryer which helps on extended trips like ours. My only suggestion to Dave would be to add a few more towel racks and hanging hooks in the bathroom area to hang toiletry kits and used towels. Our stay at the Olive Motel was outstanding, especially considering the circumstances of our arrival.

Nice for a short stay. Good location to get into town. The noise on the main road was a bit loud and there is no privacy whatsoever since most all the rooms face the parking lot and the one window faces all the parked cars and people. That is the only downside. Bed was very comfortable and coffee was delish.

Everything was excellent. The best motel we have stayed in in New Zealand. The owner was friendly and very hospitable. The rooms were large and very clean. The bathroom was huge for a motel. There was everything you needed. Easy walking to the town centre. More channels then we had ever seen in a motel. Exceptional all round.

Very nice and new feeling. Spacious unit. So clean. Owner David is manager and very friendly and helpful. We were so happy to be given an upgrade for our 1 night stay and ended up staying a 2nd night. I5 minits walk to town and all the eateries. I would definately recomend this place.

Agréable séjour à Coromandel town Excellent accueil, les conseils donnés à la réception sur les activités répondaient exactement à ma demande. Chambre spatieuse et propre, idéalement placé pour profiter de la ville tout en étant très calme.

Olive is a Winner Olive motel is well located a few minutes walk from Coromandel township. The units are fresh and immaculately clean and the whole complex is beautifully maintained. Would recommend.
