Awa Motel (Whakatane, New Zealand)

About Awa Motel

A quiet location, yet only minutes' walk from Whakatāne’s boutique shopping and restaurants, White Island Rendezvous has rooms to suit any traveller. Enjoy the spaciousness of a two-bedroom deluxe apartment, simplicity of a studio or the luxury of a California king bed in one of our new stand-alone micro-village cabins. Guests can wake up to a hearty cooked breakfast delivered to their room (with the exception of the Bungalow) or enjoy the atmosphere of our on-site café, PeeJays. The great outdoors is at our doorstep and there is the opportunity for guests to join a day trip to White Island, New Zealand’s only active marine volcano, or a shorter nature excursion to Moutohorā – a dormant volcano that has established itself as a wildlife refuge. Stroll down to Whakatāne Heads to watch the boats come and go or enjoy one of the local bushwalks to view the spectacular scenery of our bay. The motel complex is situated opposite the picturesque Whakatāne Wharf and within walking distance of the CBD and many fine dining restaurants.
