Wonderful getaway spot

A beautiful spot to stay for a couple of nights. Loved being able to hear the waves crashing on the verandah.

Handy motel

There are 2 Blue Marlin motels. Nos. 4 & 13 Buffalo Beach Rd. The photo on Hotels.com page is from 13. No4 is an older place, clean & well equipped but floorboards are squeaky. Not so good in a downstairs unit. Apart from that handy to town centre &over the road from beach & walkway

Blue Marlin

Over night stay was fine, it did lack certain utensils which were supplied in other accommodation we have stayed in. Our 1 bed unit was a good size and location was on the outskirts of the town centre . The unit we were in was set back from the road with another building in front but because we were on the first floor we did have a view through to the beach.
Lesley, 1-night trip

Nice and quiet. You can hear the ocean. Very relaxing.
Rene, 2-night trip

Very friendly service. Property was in an excellent location. Would stay again.
Belinda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location was absolutely perfect! Straight across from the beach and walking distance to restaurants, bars and cafes. Main downside was being in a downstairs unit the footsteps in the floor above us was hideously loud. All we could hear late at night and early in the morning was stomping and floor boards creaking. Would definitely only stay upstairs if we book again.
Erin, 2-night trip

Reasonably priced, great location, Downside is no view of the Mercury Bay from the room
RUTH, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Very friendly, informative and helpful host. We stayed at 4 Buffalo Beach road (there is a sister property at 13, a short walk away). Right on the beach road (you only have to walk up the driveway to see the beach). We stayed in Unit 11: a lovely ground floor studio with combined lounge area and kitchenette (sofa and TV, coffee table, dining table and two chairs). Fridge, microwave, 2 ring hob, electric frying pan, toaster, kettle, crockery, cutlery, utensils, etc Separate bedroom with good sized comfortable bed, with TV. Separate shower room with toilet. Everything very clean, in very good condition. We used the laundry at No. 13, hanging the washing out to dry on the line at No. 4. We were offered beach towels and a mini shovel - which we used at Hot Water Beach. Plenty of choice of TV channels. Parking right outside our unit. Within easy walking distance of the town centre and the passenger ferry/wharf - from where a number of boat tours depart. We really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Marlin

Pleasant, comfortable stay, across from beach

We had a very pleasant 2 night stay here. We booked a studio unit at the roadside (with beach on the other side). The views were wonderful and the studio very spacious. The small kitchen allows for some cooking and there is a free washing machine and powder available. Walk into the main part of town is about 5 mins. The unit also came with a baby Weber BBQ.

Great spot within walking distance to the town. We used it for fishing due to its proximity to the wharf and it was perfect.
