Not many motels can claim to overlook a waterfall and an ocean-river lagoon, but Waterfalls Estate can. This property has an outdoor pool with waterfront views, a private riverside beach, and there's boating activities for guests with the Bay of Islands on your doorstep. Each room at this property comes fully equipped with a kitchenette, lounge & dining area, flat-screen TV, and guests enjoy 100MB of Wi-Fi each day at no cost. Campground facilities can accommodate motor homes, RV's, and tents. An adventure playground is popular with kids and BBQs are available for guest use as well. There are several restaurants in the area, with Twin Pines Restaurant & Bar, and the Phat House both within easy walking distance. In addition to the scenic Haruru Falls, this property is next to the Waitangi Forest Reserve which offers a popular bush walk. A popular holiday place for families and couples alike.
