Hotel on Devonport sits on one of the main streets of central Tauranga, so you can step out for coffee, a meal or a walk to the harbour. It is a modern city hotel aimed at both business and leisure guests, with a restaurant and bar on site, spacious rooms and a calm, professional feel. The location is hard to beat for those who want to explore the city on foot, and it is within a short drive of Mount Maunganui, the Elms and the ferry and cruise areas. For visitors who prefer urban convenience to a beachfront setting, it is a reliable and comfortable choice.
Walking out of the front door, you are surrounded by cafes, boutiques and restaurants, and the waterfront at the Strand is only a few minutes away. Evening options range from relaxed pubs to more formal dining, and the city is quiet enough at night to sleep well. If you have an early departure for a day trip, the central position makes pick-ups easy. A short taxi ride takes you to the beaches or the base of Mauao.
Rooms are typically bright and well-equipped, with options from standard rooms to larger suites. Expect air conditioning, a work desk, a good bed and decent soundproofing, though higher floors tend to be quieter. The restaurant and bar are handy after a long day, and room service may be available. Business travellers appreciate the conference facilities, while leisure guests enjoy the location. Ask about parking, as city centre hotels may charge extra or have limited spaces.
Who it suits
Couples and solo travellers who like city stays, business travellers and visitors planning to use a mix of day tours. It is also a good choice for wet-weather trips, since the surrounding streets have plenty of indoor attractions, cafes and shops. Families can find suitable rooms, though those who want a pool and beach will be better served at the Mount. Rates are usually moderate to high, and midweek deals can be good.
Practical advice
Ask for a quieter room away from the street if you are sensitive to noise, and check whether breakfast is included or can be added cheaply. The hotel is a good choice when the weather turns, since the restaurant, bar and nearby cafes keep you entertained without needing a car. If you are travelling for work, the central location and facilities make meetings easy to arrange. Leisure guests should plan to use taxis or tours for the beaches. With sensible expectations, it offers a polished, comfortable city stay.
Check the cancellation terms before you commit, because city rates often differ between flexible and fixed offers.
