Snells Beach Motel - "Stylish immaculate accommodation. Discover Matakana Coast’s favourite, so close to Warkworth & Matakana"

Just 1 hour north of Auckland, an easy drive from Auckland airport, a great stop on the way to or from the Bay of Islands

Snells Beach Motel - Wonderful Holiday Location & Business stopover!

12 stylish self-contained one and two bedroom Unit Apartments – some with double Spa Baths. Enjoy the seasonally heated Swimming Pool in its beautiful sub-tropical garden setting, with great views out to the Bay and its islands.

Perfectly situated, on the Mahurangi East Peninsula, overlooking the beautiful Kawau Bay and right in the heart of the wonderful Matakana Coast and Country. One of the most desirable regions to visit in NZ. This really is a magic area.

Just a short stroll to wonderfully safe swimming at Kawau Bay and adjacent to a small cluster of shops, cafes and restaurants. You will be close to many stunning surf beaches and fabulous Regional Parks, secluded bays, Vineyards, the Matakana Farmers Markets, the famous Kawau Island ferry and Goat Island Marine Reserve ( NZ’s first – amazingly prolific fish life – so close you can reach out and touch them .... almost !) ... all yours to discover and explore.

Enjoy all the attractions, come for 1 night, 2 nights, a week or longer and find something different to do every day. Many of our guests remark how varied and interesting our attractions are, and how more plentiful they are, than more widely known areas in Northland.

Most importantly .... we really care. We have now owned Snells Beach Motel for over 10 years. Every year we endeavour to make sure the ‘Snells Beach Package’ gets better and better. We have refurbished all the Units and constantly upgrade them, and all the feedback we get tells us that all our guests really enjoy them. They enjoy the high standard of comfort & presentation and the attention to detail, but most of all they know that we really care. If you don’t have a great time ... we take it very personally !

Discover for yourself why so many of our guests keep coming back ... again & again !

Leave or arrive at Auckland airport, and you will find we are the ideal place to spend your first or last few days.

We’d love to see you.
