where is blue motel filmed

“Blue Motel” is being used as the on‑screen name for a motel in the New Zealand TV crime drama “Blue Murder Motel,” which is filmed in Ōrewa, a coastal town on the Hibiscus Coast just north of Auckland, New Zealand.

Exact filming spot

Most of the recognizable “Blue Motel” exterior and surrounding shots come from:

• Edgewater Motel in Ōrewa – this real motel was temporarily rebranded as the fictional “Blue Motel” during production.

• Ōrewa Beach Holiday Park – used for additional holiday‑park and coastal scenes in the series.

So if you’re looking for the real‑world place behind “Blue Motel,” you’re essentially looking at the Edgewater Motel and nearby beachfront areas in Ōrewa, on Auckland’s Hibiscus Coast.
