When we arrived we had pre-booked and hadn’t realised that some of the rooms had shared bathrooms but that was not a problem, the Manager immediately upgraded us to a room with its own bathroom. This place is indescribable - it’s a beautiful building and the decor is so stunning, particularly in the huge living room area that opened out on to the patio with swimming pool and spa. So much history behind this Lodge that makes the place even more intriguing. The guests share a huge communal kitchen that is exceedingly well equipped, it has a large square central table. The Manager is so obliging, nothing is ever too much trouble. We highly recommend Warkworth Lodge, ideally located close to the main shopping centre, its quiet with very little road noise noticeable. Comfy bed, crisp cotton sheets and great pillows.

Good location. Close to the hospital, not far to town. Near enough to where I needed to go without having to contend with the traffic. Motel super clean and staff were very friendly. Cleaning staff were awesome. Have stayed here a few times and will continue to use this motel. Highly recommend.
Not enough parking. My husband went out at night to a funeral and when he returned there were no parks on site. He had to park outside the motel grounds on the grass verge. It would be great if there were allocated parking spaces.

The location was excellent for our needs. The cleaner was very thorough & very polite. The room amenities were perfect. Our room was on the ground floor which was excellent for our needs. The shower was excellent for our needs. I like that there is Disability parking for our needs.
Non disability parkers parking in the disability park. The sign was pretty faded but when that was not availability it made it difficult for us to park.

A well located easy to find (by car) typical motel accommodation serving our purpose for one night stay en route. Good and appreciated launderette facility (coins needed), excellent equipped kitchenette for preparing simple meal, compact accommodation but with everything we could need. Convenient for short drive to local walk around lake. Lovely welcome with small bottle of milk for cuppa!

Located on a main road, this property ensured that road noise was not an issue. Great size room with kitchenette and big bathroom. The bedding was very comfortable. High level of cleanliness. There is a clothes washing machine and dryer for guests.
The furniture was dated, but that's not a big issue. The road outside is very busy most of the day.

The staff were amazing , they went above an beyond for us , we were so grateful we got them a box of donuts when we left, they didnt know how much their kindness meant to us. We loved the clean rooms , the shower was awesome BEAUTFUL , soaps an shampoo etc , Comfy beds nice to have a tv in each room bonus with having our kiddo with us. Aircon was great, really good kitchen, hubby loved sky and close to the hospital which suited us for our reason to be in Hamilton. APPRECIATE the amazing team at Astra Motor Lodge

Breakfast is no longer an option here but that’s ok I sorted this elsewhere. Very close to the hospital which was my main reason for staying here. Very helpful owner with information I asked about.
The traffic noise was a bit much very early in the morning but can not be helped at all and only a minor issue - otherwise wonderful central place to stay.

The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable. The air conditioning was great, worked very well. Good parking. Nice little kitchenette. The bathroom was well appointed and very clean. Lovely to have a table and chairs to sit up and eat at. With the windows closed and the airconditioning going, there was no road noise at all.
We prefer hand held showers to a fixed rose. Other than that, everything was good.
