Riverside comfort with warm Kiwi hospitality

Tarawera River Lodge Motel

Described by Martie as their “little piece of heaven next to the river”, Tarawera River Lodge Motel sits in a quiet and peaceful part of Kawerau, adjacent to the picturesque Tarawera River.  The motel has eight fully self-contained accommodation units, ranging from spacious superior rooms and an apartment to standard, family and single-bed rooms.  This variety allows the team to welcome couples, families, corporate travellers, contractors, sports teams and larger groups.  With free WiFi, cooking facilities, off-street parking and a shared barbecue area, guests have everything they need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Always enhancing the guest experience

The team at Tarawera River Lodge Motel is always looking for ways to make every stay even more comfortable and enjoyable.  The rooms have recently been refurbished, giving the property a fresh new look while retaining the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere guests appreciate.  However, providing a memorable experience is about more than the accommodation itself.

Martie and the team continue to focus on the thoughtful “little touches” that help guests feel genuinely welcome and well cared for throughout their stay.

Perfectly placed to explore Kawerau and the Bay of Plenty

Surrounded by rivers, forests and dramatic volcanic landscapes, Tarawera River Lodge Motel provides an ideal base from which to explore Kawerau and the wider Bay of Plenty.

Outdoor enthusiasts can discover the spectacular Tarawera Falls, enjoy fishing or kayaking on the Tarawera River, explore the area's walking and mountain biking trails or experience Kawerau's purpose-built whitewater slalom course.

For a more leisurely day, visitors can unwind in Kawerau's thermally heated swimming pools, play a round at the picturesque Kawerau Golf Club or simply enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings that make this part of New Zealand so special.
