We are a friendly, family-owned motel situated in a lovely quiet location in historical Waihi.

Our motel is a short walk to Waihi’s town centre which has many lovely cafés and restaurants to choose from as well as a great range of locally owned stores and boutiques where you can browse and shop. Martha Mine is a must-see attraction while you’re in town with daily tours available to book, or the free rim walk (a 5km loop) is a great alternative.

Comfortable and a lovely Greeting

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Stayed as close to hauraki rail trail and bike was stolen, likely by another guest. Motel claims to have cameras but they only cover one part of the driveway and they wouldn't show me the footage.

    Well located near the high street of Waihi. Rooms were very clean and had everything needed for a short stay - fridge, AC, toiletries etc. Easy on site parking and SKY TV (including Sports) standard with the room. Keeping in mind this motel is located on state highway there can be some road noise, however with the AC on it was hardly noticeable. We had a very comfy stay.

    It was a clean and comfortable stay at the motel. Even when it wasn't a kitchen room, they provided amenities like a toaster, fridge and microwave which was convenient for having a simple continental breakfast and reheating yesterday's leftovers.

Absolutely clean, comfortable bed, nice big pillows, warm, spacious in both rooms,, heaps of power points close to the bed, cool having the large bed in the main room, to watch TV from, the kitchen area was lovely. The motel was very quiet and safe. Lovely hosts, who accommodated our late arrival. Was a lovely stay, after a long drive. Thank you Goldmine Motel.

    We were pleasantly surprised with the Motel when we arrived, it was in a nice private and quiet location ….. if anything the photos didn’t do it justice. The 1-bedroom motel unit we were located in was quite spacious, and importantly it was very clean and tidy. The manager was welcoming upon our arrival and a great host for the duration of our stay.
