Last minute booking and good value for money. Accommodating host. Great location 2nd building along is Woolworths, across from that is new world. Not far from Hells Pizza, McDonald & KFC a small stroll away. Old decor but very clean & comfortable. Full kitchen. Also a $2.50 washing or dryer guest laundry available. Daily room service. Very happy with our stay.

Limited utensils. Dated decor. No air conditioning, but a floor fan available. Slight noise from being next to main road. A light wasn’t fixed to the ceiling but the wife said her husband would fix straight an away.

Very close to CBD, restaurants, tourist attractions like Whangarei Waterfall, swimming spots like Parua Bay and Whangarei Heads. We attended Waitangi weekend events and Waitangi Day as well. The room was very clean and tidy, courteous and friendly, easy check in at reception. Housekeeping very responsive to our needs. The fans were handy during the hot nights.

I lost my wedding ring at Ocean Beach, Whangarei Heads ☹️ If anyone finds it let me know

While it was a little difficult to find initially because of a tricky three way intersection coming from the city center (or maybe it was because we were driving on what was for us, the wrong side of the road), this modernized retro 50's style motel was quiet, spacious, had kitchen facilities, a designated tv area with couch, and an easily managed shower. Parking was just outside the door, and there were clothes hanging and relaxation areas outdoors. Although we were only there overnight, a family could easily spend longer there. The proprietor was welcoming and gave us a container of milk for making our own coffee or tea, readily available on the kitchen counter. There is very easy access to downtown and to quick-food drive thru places.

Liked everything...

The accommodations and locations were perfect. Close walk to everything. The bed was great, the kitchenette perfect for us and it was really quiet at night. It even had an outdoor clothesline for us to use. The owners were friendly and helpful. We would definitely return. Thank you for being so nice and friendly.❤️

The location is perfect. Staff are very obliging and friendly. The room is very clean and has all you need to be self-sufficient with cooking equipment included and a supermarket two doors down; or all you need to spoil yourself with a variety of restaurants within walking distance or a short drive. Loved Khane Babar Indian a short walk up the main road.

We spent a whole day inside due to inclement weather. We were offered DVDs to watch free of charge and lots of suggestions of indoor local attractions. We decided to stay indoors and the room was very comfortable. If I had to get picky I would choose the window coverings as some don’t cover the whole of the space and allow some light in at night.

The motel had everything we needed for a one-night stay. The room was a decent size and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was a little dated but the shower was powerful and the water was hot. We were very impressed with the speed of the WiFi. There were two large supermarkets very nearby and various eating options - breakfast at Essence cafe was excellent. It was an easy walk into the city centre (or a very short drive).

All good.

it was comfortable had everything you need, very clean. Milk in a glass bottle was great, comfortable bed nice linen and towels and complimentary soap etc.

One of the cups had a hairline crack so had to use the 2nd cup, not a problem for me because I was alone but different if 2 of us.

Clean, comfortable room with all amenities and well-priced. Good location, especially if you have a car. Good Thai and Indian restaurants are just up the street (walking distance) and Countdown supermarket is almost next door. Reasonably quiet. I would stay here again.

Parking is a bit tricky. No assigned parking spot, and spaces are fairly tight.

The room was spotlessly clean. Check-in and out very good. Room much bigger than expected and all cooking and crockery needed was in the room. Highly recommend. We will stay again

Distance into town was a 15 walk away, so the location is good. Our room was roomy and clean. We spoke with the husband and run wife that own/run the motel - very friendly and approachable. Nothing was too much trouble.
