Snowden says the motel business has a good repeat business from its many satisfied customers.
"While it is important for the motel units to be of a high standard given they generate the income, the owners' accommodation is also important because this is a home and sanctuary," he says.

The residence is separated by a parking area from the motel units and comprises a spacious three bedroom two bathroom home lounge, large kitchen, laundry, and store room. A ranch slider opens from the dining area to a north facing deck, with the reception area and the office at the front.
"While the business already has a high occupancy, turnover and profit, the zoning and construction may permit the addition of another four units above the four family units to increase business," Snowden says.
He says Tairua's permanent population is around 1300 but swells up to 8000 during the summer months. "Currently a new marina is under construction and to meet growth in the town a number of new houses and apartments are also being built.
"In addition to the well known tourist attractions of Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove which are only a 20 minute drive Tairua, work will begin shortly on the government's planned cycleway with the first stage starting at Pauanui following the road around to Tairua, with more stages planned for the area after that.
"Part of the appeal of the Coromandel is its native trees like kauri, totara and rimu along with disused gold mines mines, so to provide access the Department of Conservation and the Thames District Council have built a number of walking tracks that are attracting people from all over the world," Snowden says.
