Grafton Cottage & Chalets
9.2 (111 reviews)

Grafton Cottage & Chalets ★★★★

📍 304 Grafton Road, Thames

"Lovely place, friendly host, with great sunset views. Would stay again if in the area, tho Thames itself wasn't of great interest."

Dickson Holiday Park
8.3 (403 reviews)

Dickson Holiday Park ★★★

📍 115 Victoria St, Thames

"Friendly staff, all of the facilities were really clean. I got some useful tips from the reception staff on spots to swim in the creek, and they were happy to take my details to look out for me when I was hiking solo to the Pinnacles summit. Can’t fault it for the price of a bed in a shared dorm! Good location and a decent amount of options for cooking (oven, grill, hob, toaster, BBQs). The avocado tree across from reception also was a great bonus - I was gutted that there weren’t any ripe enough to eat over the few days I stayed."

Coastal Motor Lodge
8.4 (44 reviews)

Coastal Motor Lodge ★★★★

📍 608 Tararu Road, Thames

"Beautiful place was made to feel very welcome. We would stay again. There was one problem though the internet was not fast and played now you see it now you don’t. I noticed the signal was not strong I worked in IT and I think it would be worthwhile putting in a better system& charging more. The local cafes were much better. It has nothing to do with other guests streaming. However it did not detract from the lovely feel of the place. It 2as very clean and the bed very comfy."

Rolleston Motel Thames - Wenzel Motels ★★★

📍 105 Rolleston Street, Thames

"Goodddddddd"

Avalon Motel Thames - Wenzel Motels
8.7 (40 reviews)

Avalon Motel Thames - Wenzel Motels ★★★

📍 104 Jellicoe Crescent, Thames

"Travelled for a 2 night business trip. They did not provide milk so had to go out and get my own milk from the store. Housekeeping was a bit slack as I found hair in a drawer and some dirt on the floor in the bathroom. They had not topped up the supply of coffee and tea. Other than that, the room was well presented. Just by the way, we were awoken at 4:20am by the Fire station siren which most likely woke up the whole town!"

Grafton Cottage & Chalets ★★★★
"It was a bit far from the bus station but the hotel was one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in the world and I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy some epic adventure in the city and we can see some great ocean views from there too. Breakfast is always terrific and I love it. C"

Dickson Holiday Park ★★★
"The owners are lovely and down to earth. Elena took the time to help us find a place that suits our needs best. The park is beautiful, surrounded by trees and hills, plus the Tararu river goes right through, ending with a gorgeous waterhole inside the park. We only needed a place to stay and ended up having an incredibly enjoyable time, and can't wait to come back and check out the hiking trails nearby. Totally worth it:)"
