All good
Location
Dark, tired, dingy, lack of pillows no reception staff, no after hours contact if anything u need for your room. Fridge had rust overall was awful and left at 7am just to get out of room
Location Size
Fridge didn’t work Poor communication with staff Phone kept making a loud engaged signal
It’s was clean, tidy and much more space for only two people.
Nothing
Comfy bed, location, staff were friendly
No milk for coffee, tried to call the hotel before arrival to get check-in instructions and couldn't get onto anyone - only AI.
Location and ease of access
The bathroom was not cleaned well - stain on the toilet and basin which we removed.
I was greated with a lovely welcome and the couple running this resort are so caring and go out of there way to help. Mum and I found it quiet but very peaceful staying here and it is exactly what we needed. Please support more of our businesses at Mauao as many are struggling. We will be back. Carla and Jan
WoW! I was treated with the up most respect and decentcey and catered for exceptional well. The,bed,shower,spa,pool,the room, oh my goodness. EXCELENT!!! I can only sing praises about my stay at Twin Towers Osean View Resort. The hospitality was 5 star! My friend came to visit and they too were really shocked and greatful for the venue. I was even more stoked. I have enjoyed my stay so much that I am staying on for another night!!!!
There was an apartment owner on the same level as me and was very very much of an annoyance. She has gained the name crazy ladie name.
Perfect place to get away, nice and close to the beach, restaurant and food store
Really poor condition. Felt very uncomfortable. Actually checked out a day earlier because we felt so uncomfortable sleeping in this accommodation.
Cleanliness of beddings, bed kitchen and bathrooms.
Could walk to restaurants and eateries so the location was okay. Rooms were large.
Very little service. Tight and limited parking.
Everything was easy, reception, parking, access
Nice unit at a good price in a great location. Good secure basement car parking.
It was the coldest night of the year and no electric blanket, but I soon warmed up.
Amazing pool and spa. It was quiet and right next to the beach and public transport stops
The room wasn’t overly clean - there was dust on the tv and dirty socks just under the bed ( not ours); we could only get 1 channel on the tv and it was pixelated a lot of the time The biggest issue was our designated car parking space - we could not fit our car in due to a pillar over the line of our space (there was car parked on the other side) so we had to park on the roadside. The staff just shrugged their shoulders - why have a pillar over the space?
Good location with adequate facilities
A more updated room would be better
Great location and pool is amazing
The unit is dated and needs a refresh. The manager at the apartment is unfriendly and they are stingy. You have to beg for extra toilet paper.
Just what we needed
All good
Large spacious room
Room was spacious
Thought we were booking a room in the tower.. disappointed.
The location is amazing and the host was lovely and super helpful.
De behulpzaamheid van het personeel.
Niets viel tegen. Het was alleen jammer dat de berg niet beklommen kon worden i.v.m. groot onderhoud, maar dat kan je het motel niet aanrekenen.
Super location, friendly staff, good sized room with amenities
Fantastic location, comfortable bed, nice to have the hot tub and gym, nice friendly staff.
My parking space had a pillar that made it difficult to park, particularly because a HUGE 4x4 was parked in the next park, so, despite my best efforts I managed to catch the pillar and scratch my car, which cost me $750 to fix. They need to put pads on the pillars or change the layout ! The other issue I have is that the photos that were displayed for the ‘executive studio’ were at odds with what I actually got. And despite having booked this hotel/resort many times in the past am STILL left wondering how to get a room in the ACTUAL TOWERS ! Been coming for years and always been shoved in the annexe at the back. I think the ‘Twin Towers’ element of this place is fictional. In nearly 20 years of coming here I’ve never had the option, or been offered, a room in the towers. I think it’s false advertising and the shouldn’t include it in their description. Guess I’m still p***** off by their parking places, the person with the 4x4 wasn’t even STAYING in the room next to me, so why was he there anyway !!??
Excellent pool and spa
Slightly dated
The Oceanside hotel is a good place to stay. The location is amazing, only a short walk to either the waterfront restaurants and cafes or the Mt Maunganui main street. It was very quiet. The room was spacious, well-appointed, and the bed was very comfortable. Secure underground carparking is handy too.
The car park is quite tight because space has been maximised. There is street parking too. The room/decor could use a refresh.
Another wonderful stay! The staff are always friendly and welcoming, the location is fantastic, and the pool is definitely a highlight. We always enjoy staying here and will happily come back again. Highly recommended! 😊
Great staff, excellent location, and a beautiful pool! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel. 😊
We love coming to Oceanside. Friendly staff, great location and secure parking.
Some of the parking is tight to get into, but you get the hang of it and it’s secure.
Great location, right by the beach. Having parking provided was a huge bonus, as parking can be difficult to find in the area. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the room was much bigger than expected. Overall, we were very happy with our stay!
There was no Netflix available, which wasn’t promised but is something many accommodations now offer. In future, I’d recommend bringing an HDMI device or cable if you’d like to connect your own device to the TV. No major issue though - just useful on a winter's day!
Great location, welcoming and friendly staff.
Location
All interactions are done with AI All sorts of emails with terms and conditions They want a copy of your drivers license and a security deposit
location is great. I travel for work and like that I can make a meal and dont need to go to a restaurant, although they are close if I wish.
Parking spaces are terribly small. I really battled getting in between 2 other SUV's into parking 110. Also the low ventilation shafts are a problem. Reversing into a parking you cant see them and yet you can drive straight into them, or into the protruding pieces of metal from the brackets. if the parking is NOT full, rather space cars. I could not open my doors after getting into the parking space??
It was clean well presented. The bed was comfortable. Location is fantastic. Within walking distance to the beach and town.
Nothing. Would recommend
The room is very spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. Lovely pool and spa with a gym. The central location to shopping centre and the mall. The beach and cafes just a short walk, it was so relaxing and inviting a warm welcome from the staff was very nice as well. We will back again to stay, it is our favourite getaway holiday stay at the Oceanside Resort. Thank you so much.
My husband found the bed uncomfortable.
I loved the quietness and privacy. The staff were friendly, kind and helpful. Thank you The view up the mountain was so calm and the spaciousness was more than I expected
2 minute walk to the Mt. Maunganui town centre.
Shared balcony and our room was on the 1st floor so no view
Staff and location
Bathroom needs some TLC
Room was very tidy. Was central to the mount very handy to restaurant’s and food outlets. Great value for money
Underground carpark was tight for my ute
It was good being able to make your own breakfast in the room. Having a grocery store next store was handy.
Nothing to say, everything was perfect
Location, room, pool
Broken fold out sofa bed
As a familiar and returning customer Oceanside is a reliable place to stay.
Some of the facilities are getting a little rundown. Nice to see the new pool decking and entrance area.
Needs new beds they are old and not very comfortable also spas would be lovely if you could access them allday
Very spacious and overall comfortable room. Access to sauna, pool and gym. Amazing view from the window.
the dished in the cupboard were not really clean, one glass had tons of washing liquid inside. I wish there was shampoo in the shower.
Clean, friend staff, amazing location

The carpark
Mount Maunganui is one of our favourite places in the world to be. I grew up in Tauranga, and my Dad and Uncle were bouncers at the Oceanside Hotel years ago. Our stay was everything we imagined, thank you.

Comfort & Location
wifi
We really enjoy this property, staff are friendly, great location
Good service, good location,
NO cooking facilities, the room was for a wheelchair user. No soap in dispenser.
Stayed approx 8 hours - I arrived late (after 1030 pm and was gone at 0600). Good service and directions to get to the drop box. Overall comfortable as there was no other accommodation in TGA during this time - it was a last minute need to be there.
Only means of heating was the Heat pump, and the windows were left open so the place in winter was stone cold. Turned on the heat pump, it worked well, however the Noise of the Exchange Unit outside was so loud (as it was next to the master bedroom bed) that I had to turn it off to sleep. Not that it bothered me that much, but the "Free" WIFI - didn't work. I paid the for the room on Booking.com in full - and then at the last minute the accommodation directly dropped me an email asking for a $200 deposit - and then they would provide the details on where to get the key and access the building etc. (That I thought was odd - as I didn't read that in the fine print.) They were quick to refund the deposit 2-3 days after the stay.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Excellent spot to stay. Great value for money. Lovely reception staff. Would definitely recommend.
Staff was friendly, but there was a miscommunication to explain and help us understand the parking entrance, showing us the picture of the key/pole on the desk would have been helpful - not just pointing to the map. The apartment was in a great location, had a nice view, it was spacious, had all the needs met and the lounge was comfortable.
The shower had black mold around the top of the glass and came off easily on a cloth, so I don't think it has had a good clean in a while, the apartment smelled of bleach and unfortunately the bed was too firm for me to get a good night sleep. The whole building is very run down which is a shame. We have stayed there many years ago, but I don't think we will go back in future.
Location/parking
Has outdoor pools spa that I love enjoying
Having rowdy neighbours .
Location and service 😊
Lication
They advertise as twin tower, but when they allocate room, they allocate resort ground floor rooms. So for someone who has booked for view, it is worthless.
Comfortable
A bit of a musty smell
Everything was outstanding the staff were exceptional great team.
There were rude tenants within the premises. we could hear them throughout the night rowdy noisy.
Excellent location. Huge apartment.
Is it showing it's age. Needs a bit of a freshen up. This didn't detract from what the place is though.
