Lovely well equipped rooms. Staff were v knowledgeable and made some great suggestions for restaurants. Parking outside the door and no stairs with heavy cases.
A little distance from the town basin so scar is essential
Beautiful atmosphere. As soon as we arrived and checked in we were greeted by a very welcoming man behind the counter. Who was a pleasure to deal with. Happy and inviting energy. The rooms were very spacious, beds were comfortable. My children had a great time in the swimming pool. As the night gets cooler the pool gets warmer. They had pool toys to keep them entertained for hours. Then we all enjoyed a relax in the spa bath in our room. Enjoyed our trip would definately go back again
Everything was awesome the room the pool the staff very friendly
Good motel with more room than expected.Good location very close to centre of townStaff were very good and attentive
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, large bedrooms and living area with the bonus of a spa bath. Swimming pool was heated. Felt like a boutique hotel and we wont stay anywhere else when we travel to Whangarei in future.
It was clean and tidy, staff were friendly and polite.
It was a little overpriced for what it is.
Good location (close to things to do in and near Whangarei); free guest laundry; a small, but enjoyable pool area; friendly staff; comfy beds.
Nothing worth mentioning? The air conditioning was too cold and the hot water too hot?
Clean tidy accommodation- well equipped. Swimming pool good in the hot weather. Very close to a nice park if you are travelling with children
No view from room.
I loved the room set up for two adults and three kids — the fully functional kitchen with a large fridge/freezer and dishwasher was perfect for our family. The kids enjoyed having Sky TV, and the heat pump kept us comfortable. The hot tub and heated pool were a huge hit too! Great central location, spotless room, and handy extras like extra pillows in each wardrobe.
Honestly, nothing to fault — everything was great!
Friendly and helpful staff, very clean and comfortable.
Clean. Roomy
Lights on outside all night. Curtains did not block out light.
It was clean and very well appointed with all the amenities you need even the kitchen was fully equipped
The rescue helicopter flies directly over the motel, not something that can be avoided clearly but if you are not in a deep sleep you do hear it and if your in the rooms that are not behind the main building road noises are louder
Great property, very clean and comfortable
Tiny detail but for three of us we were only given 1 sachet of body wash, shampoo and conditioner so we had to go out and purchase some. And only 1 complimentary biscuit. This didn’t worry us but for a family unit it seemed unusual. In saying that I’d definitely stay here again. It’s the nicest motel I’ve found in Whangarei.
Very clean, comfy facilities, our host was awesome! The best accom in Whangarei.
Manager fantastic and very very clean and bed comfortable
Clean, comfy and had everything you need. Lovely lady at front desk.
The staff were very attentive and accommodating, I booked at short notice and they were very helpful. The location is great, close to main road but road noise is monomial
A little dated but very clean and tidy and units were well equiped
