3-star beachfront motel on the Firth of Thames coast

Setting & Grounds

Comfort Inn Sunset is set within 5 acres of native bush on the coast of the Firth of Thames, north of Thames town center. The property includes a fenced bird nesting area for oyster catchers and a reserve next door for exercising dogs. Guests have access to a shared BBQ area with provided oil and picnic tables for outdoor meals on the deck.

Rooms & Amenities

All units at Comfort Inn Sunset Thames include a separate lounge area with a sofa, a full kitchen with a full-size cooker and fridge freezer, and a private bathroom with newly renovated showers. Select accommodations offer sea views from the bedroom and a private deck for sunsets, such as the Apartment with Sea View and the Streamside Seaview 3 Bed unit. The motel provides free private parking with a carport beside each unit, as well as a free-to-use laundry facility near reception.

Location & Activities

Comfort Inn Sunset sits on the Hauraki Rail Trail, providing direct access for cycling enthusiasts exploring the Coromandel Peninsula. The motel is a short drive from The Pauanui Summit Track and the quirky theme park near Thames with water-powered inventions. Guided tours to historical gold mining relics and the self-guided photographic museum are available within a short trip from the property.

Family & Pet Policy

The motel offers family-friendly accommodations like the Unit 9 that sleeps up to 9 guests, with enough chairs and a sofa for group seating. Pets are allowed, and the property provides a safe grassed area for children to run and a 2-minute walk to the bay for dogs. Fishing and kayaking are accessible nearby, with a beach for strolling and driftwood collecting.

Guest Experience & Service

Guest self check-in is available, with detailed instructions left at the unit for a contact-free arrival. The manager provides services like washing guests' clothes at no charge and turning on the heat pump before late arrivals.
