Re: Silver Birch Holiday Park and Motel, 101 Turret Road, Tauranga I stayed here twice this year, in March with a larger group of people and early December with my brother from overseas. I have rated this place 8 out of 10 for the fact that when staying on the edge of the lagune, this is one of the most beautiful spots in the world that you can spend the night! You can swim in the lagoon and soak or swim in one of the 2 thermal pools. The staff is very friendly. The accommodation is basic but who cares when they are on one of the most beautiful spots in the world, and so close to Tauranga city. Many thanks for maintaining this awesome spot and hopefully it will remain accessible to the public for generations to come (and not sold to a property developer!!!)
