Quality Hotel Oceans Tutukaka
The room we stayed in has had a refurb, but the hallways etc. are looking a bit tired. Also be aware that the room is only serviced once every 3 days, which for the price you pay seems not ideal. Reception staff lovely and the restaurant is great (open for breakfast and lunch only)
