Livingston Motel is a motel on Landing Road in Whakatāne, run by hosts Jessie and Eddie. Units range from studios through to one and two-bedroom options, most with their own private spa pool, heat pump air conditioning and heating, and all on the ground floor with ample parking right outside. Guests get free high-speed WiFi and SKY Guest Select with more than 50 channels, along with outdoor seating to sit out in the Bay of Plenty sun. Reviewers describe the hosts as friendly and helpful with local advice, the rooms as clean and well appointed, and mention complimentary snacks that came in handy packed for a day trip out to White Island. Landing Road is the main road into Whakatāne from Tauranga and Rotorua, both under 100 kilometres away, which makes this motel a convenient stopover as much as a base for exploring the Eastern Bay of Plenty itself.
