Fitzroy Beach Motel
This quiet, old-time motel (just 160m from Fitzroy Beach) has been thoroughly redeemed with a major overhaul and extension.
Nice Hotel
High-class from top to tail, ‘nice’ is the understatement of the decade. Seven rooms feature luxury furnishings, designer bathrooms, imported wallpapers and select objets d’art.
New Plymouth Top 10 Holiday Park
Sequestered in Fitzroy, 3.5km east of town and a seven-minute walk to the beach, this quaint, family-run Top 10 feels a bit like a school camp, with a dinky little row of units, a life-sized chess set, trampoline, laundry and spacious kitchen.
Bk’S Egmont Motor Lodge
Opposite the racecourse, corporate BK’s has ground-floor units and oceans of parking. Rooms are smart, comfortable and clean, and the managers (travellers too) readily share a laugh with the cleaners (a good sign). Free wi-fi and DVDs.
Arcadia Lodge
A former rest home tacked onto a big old lemon-coloured villa (built in 1904 for the local newspaper editor), Arcadia is a homey B&B with a lovely breakfast room, genteel lounge, spa, barbecue, and a superb timber-ceilinged family room upstai.
Bella Vista
A dependable, vaguely Spanish-looking option right in the centre of town. Basic rooms have toast-making facilities only; fancier rooms have full kitchenettes. Bonuses such as fair-trade plunger coffee and free bicycles abound.
Seaspray House
A big old house with gloriously high ceilings, Seaspray has had a recent makeover inside but remains relaxed and affordable, with well-chosen retro and antique furniture.
Cottage Mews Motel
A small, modest motel where you’ll feel like family, rather than a guest.
Issey Manor
Friendly Issey is hard to miss(ey): two conjoined Victorian timber houses (1875 and 1910) painted with startling panels of white, orange and black.
Ariki Backpackers
Upstairs in the old Royal Hotel (Queen Liz stayed here once!), Ariki offers downtown hostelling with funky carpets, a roomy lounge area with retro couches, and fantastic roof terrace looking across the park to Puke Ariki.
Waterfront
Sleek and snazzy, the Waterfront is the place to stay, particularly if the boss is paying. The minimalist studios are pretty flash, while the penthouses steal the show with big TVs and little balconies.
