The Pacific Rendezvous motel is New Zealand’s most spectacularly situated holiday resort motel. This is a fact the resort overlooks the whole of the Tutukaka Harbour with a breath taking ocean panorama across the deep sea fishing grounds from the Poor Knights islands to the Hen and Chicken islands. This is the most exciting stretch of coastline in the country and a fantastic experience awaits you when you book in to the Pacific Rendezvous motel. There is so much to see and do when you are staying at the Pacific Rendezvous motel. For starters, there is a myriad of beautiful bays and beaches nearby and you could visit a different one every day and still not see them all.

Just around the corner from Pacific Rendezvous’ very own secluded beach, accessible only from the motel is Pacific Bay. Both of these beaches can be reached either around the rocks or from a walking track at the entrance to the motel. Ten minutes’ north of Tutukaka is beautiful Matapouri Beach where you get  great surfcasting. If you fancy a walk through a native bush reserve you must visit peaceful Whale Bay, used by the early Maori tribes during their whaling expeditions because of its calm waters. Only 1.5 kilometres further on is Sandy Bay, famous for its great surfing break.

Staying at the Pacific Rendezvous gives you easy access to the many and varied restaurants and bars in this area,  starting with a visit to the Schnappa Rock restaurant, situated on the shoreline of the picturesque Tutukaka harbour. Schnappa Rock restaurant is built in the unique ‘Fale’ style with ample seating and a spacious bar. This is where you  go to ‘people watch’, meet the locals and find out who caught the ‘snapper of the day’. They can do a full cooked breakfast, tasty lunches and for dinner of course the fresh fish of the day, sustainably caught and local. They also out-cater at your location of choice and have a separate functions area on site for weddings, corporate events etc.

You could also try the Marina Pizzeria, situated in the heart of the Tutukaka Marina, emphasising fresh locally sourced quality food. This is a must visit spot, where you can sit on the covered deck right over the water, another Tutukaka icon. You might like to visit the Sailfish Cove vineyard for a wine tasting in a spectacular venue. These are just a few of the places to visit when you are based at the Pacific Rendezvous motel.
