Rooms
Moeraki Beach Motels offers family rooms with air-conditioning, private bathrooms, and balconies. Each room includes a kitchenette, washing machine, and free WiFi. The two-bedroom units have upstairs bedrooms with ocean views, plus a double bed downstairs. Guests note the comfortable beds and spacious layout. Rooms are clean but older style, with steep narrow stairs and creaky floors.
Dining
The motel has no restaurant on-site. Guests walk five minutes to the Moeraki Tavern for dinners. The tavern serves simple meals and is a short stroll from the property. Self-catering is possible with the room's kitchenette and electric fry pan.
Leisure
The property has a private beach area and direct beachfront access. Guests enjoy sea views from the rooms and garden. Koekohe Beach is steps away. Popular walks include the Moeraki Boulders and Katiki Point Lighthouse, where seals are often seen. The location is quiet and good for family beach vacations.
Location
Moeraki Beach Motels sits right by the beach in Moeraki township. It is a one-minute walk to the beach, jetty, and tavern. Dunedin Airport is 100 km away. Public transport is limited, but free on-site parking is available. Check-in uses a lockbox with a code provided in advance.
Services
The motel offers free on-site private parking. Self check-in is easy with a key lockbox. An on-site manager, Christine, is available in the morning for issues. Rooms include a heat pump, night lights on stairs, and basic toiletries. No business or concierge services are available. The Wi-Fi is free and reliable.
“Stepping into Moeraki Beach Motels, I immediately appreciated the sheer breadth of space, especially in the two-level units that feel more like a private beach house than a motel. The upstairs bedrooms open onto balconies that truly capture those beautiful, uninterrupted sea views, and the proximity to the beach and local tavern is wonderfully convenient.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Nzotago
