Top Thames Hotel Reviews

Avalon Motel Thames – Wenzel Motels

10/10 Excellent

"Privacy was great"

Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very clean and smelled fresh. They were well worth the hikes up the hill. The staff were so helpful and professional. The front desk staff were so friendly and aided in some suggestions on todo. They also were very gracious in offering rides back up to your room if you didn’t want to walk. Being young we hated to do that much so got our exercise! All the dinners and breakfasts were fantastic. The staff serving them were beyond great. I really cannot brag on this place and their staff enough. The room and facilities were well worth the stay to experience."
