Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Beautiful stay. Owners were so nice and accommodating. Had everything we needed and just across the road to a little beach
A beautiful part of Whangaparoa and so lovely to hear the waves nearby. Would definitely return for a repeat visit and stay
Room was ok, but noisy next to reception, lots of banging doors. Room was clean. Road was noisy. Nice hosts and friendly.
Good sized room and comfortable bed. Shower pressure needs improvement and Quite a lot of road noise.
Spacious room in excellent condition. Excellent breakfasts. Manager very friendly, helpful and efficient.
Been here three times before. Lovely pleasant owners. Rooms clean and all you need.
Welcoming and nice spacious rooms. Great spot if you are visiting Whangaporoa.
Nice room! Manager was very nice and welcoming! Clean room and optional breakfast that can be ordered.
Sandy and Glen run this lodge and you could not ask for a nicer couple. They are truly gracious hosts. Our stay included breakfast and was delivered to us at the time requested on an outdoor seating area. The bay was right in front of us with fantastic views.
Very warm and helpful hosts.
Friendly hosts with helpful advice. Excellent property. Very comfortable room. Will look to return.
Comfortable, spacious room with a balcony and a great view of the Hauraki Gulf and islands. Across the street from a small, pretty beach. Very friendly hosts and great amenities in the room.
Lovely room with spa and kitchenette.
We stayed for one night. The accommodation was excellent and the breakfast was superb.
We were stuck in traffic in Auckland and barely made our 18:00 check in deadline. Sandra and Glen were waiting for us and are just wonderful hosts. Definitely a place I would stay in again.
Awesome people. Sandy was everything people reported! Funny, welcoming, and sweet. Stay here, it’s awesome!
Everything!!! Communication brilliant as we were coming in the early hours. The hosts went more than out their way, to ensure we had our correct room requirements, ie one king, one single, breakfast super!! highly recommend this place!!!
Lovely hosts and a fabulous room. I love it when the attention to detail in the room shows that the owners care. This was one of those times. A fantastic kitchenette and bathroom rounded it off superbly. Host were great at giving out tips and tricks of things to do and see. Juat across the road from the beach too. A shame to be leaving.
Staff very friendly property was very tidy. Nice size room and beds very comfy
A really great stay- a warm welcome, a spacious room with everything we needed and breakfast delivered to our room the following morning. On a fairly busy road but the traffic noise did not disturb us. Plenty of space to park, walking distance to shops and restaurants and a sea view, we couldn’t ask for more
lovely clean motel with view of sea
Great option for when I want to be on the peninsula.
clean, warm, convenient, safe walking.
Nice spot on the beach, large room and clan and tidy.
The helpful and friendly Owners so very Cheerful,and the unit was so fresh and clean.
Beautifully maintained property with great views of Little Manly
Super clean. Water pressure of shower could be better. Other than that 5 star
It was good, one of the best places I have stayed with for my work.
Glen and Sandy couldn’t do enough for us. The property is clean and comfortable with a nice beach across the street. They gave us very helpful insights into the area and a wonderful breakfast done with a lot of care. We really enjoyed our short stay there.
the beach is around the corner.
Hotel was delightful. Hosts were helpful. Area was okay but we were there when it was raining for the most part.
.
Second time here and very good. Hosts are first class nothing too much trouble and very friendly.
We started our trip here after 28 hrs of traveling. It was a great place to get adjusted to the time change and catch up on sleep. The hosts were amazing. There are restaurants and shops close by. The beach is across the street. Great beds and pillows. You couldn’t ask for much more.
Absolutely amazing experience as the hosts (Sandy and Glen) are really warm and friendly. Just cross the road and you are on a beach And a short walk from a lot of restaurants Give them a try and you will be glad you did.
Excellent short stay. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Would recommend.
All round great experience. Thanks.
The lodge is in a perfect location and is very comfortable. The host couldn’t have been more helpful.
An amazing motel to stay in, unit spacious & very well equipped, pristine, Sandy the host so welcoming & helpful, would highly recommend
Btoh Glen & Sandy were very welcoming, pleasant, easy to converse with both with a great sense of humor, also very helpful. The Motel was perfect, ticking all the boxes for what we wanted
The rooms are beautifully appointed and is in a lovely location.
Helpful and friendly owners
Very well appointed, great little extras. Good location.
Excellant service and very good hosts. Of the room very good but couch could be bigger and more comfortable.
Very good staff. Lovely place. Would stay again. Beach is pretty but not the safest.
Great people who took the time to make connection. It was lovely to wake up to the waves.
Lovely staff, great location opposite beach, nice laid back experience overall
We loved Sandy and Glen at Whangaparaoa Lodge. They were incredibly helpful and kind. Our room was exactly as we had expected and we totally enjoyed our stay. The Lodge is small enough to feel cosy and it has great views as well as an excellent location. Having a good BBQ was a bonus for us. Thank you!
We had a nice stay, very accommodating and great area for relaxing and enjoying beaches .
Dpa
Great place to stay very happy, tidy, clean and lovely location
Lovely stay , very comfortable and clean. Lovely hosts and right across from the beach . Breakfast was great too
The staff were lovely. The rooms were clean and very welcoming. Close to amenities. Lovely view of the beach when sitting outside
Beautiful spot in Whangaparoa. Would recommend
Excellent stay with excellent service
Couldn’t fault this place at all. The hosts Sandy & Glenn were invaluable and both went out of their way to help in every way. Would definitely go back again.
Very comfortable, spacious room. Had a great sleep. Perfect!
Manager very helpful and welcoming. Handwritten warm welcoming card was a nice touch!
Great stay at the Lodge. Super nice and helpful hosts. Thank you.
Super helpful hosts. Loved it.
The unit was clean and tidy-very well appointed. The owners are super friendly and offered good advice. I will try to stay here again.
Was a bit noisy, little car traffic but mainly foot traffic from room location probably
Nice outlook and great service.
Helpful and friendly owners/ managers
Sandy and Glenn are super friendly hosts who go out of their way to welcome everyone. Hotel is well appointed and very comfortable right across from Little Manly Beach
I found the owners were very welcoming, the room was a good size and clean. There was plenty of parking and the motel was very easy to find. All in all a good experience
Hosts made us feel welcome.
Sandy & Glenn we’re amazing hosts who couldn’t do enough for us. Sandy drove us to dinner one night, the ceiling fan was wobbling & Glenn spent over an hour fixing it. They greeted every guest as if they were friends or family. We extended our stay & we highly recommend the Whangaparoa Lodge for business, pleasure or a weekend getaway. Thanks again Sandra & Peter
The best part of our stay were our incredible hosts, Sandy and Glen.
Well presented was left a lovely welcome note. Managers made an effort to contact us prior to check in as we were delayed at airport. Highly recommend here as a place to stay
This was a lovely place to stay especially if you want to be closer to Auckland but have some beautiful outdoor space. The beach across the street was very nice and the Little Manly area had quaint dining. The Shakespeare Park at the end of the peninsula is definitely worth a visit for a walk. We stayed 2 nights to be able to get to the airport easily. I would recommend it for either end of a trip to the North of Auckland and the airport
Excellent room, good view, very clean and equipped unfortunately the property is on a main route for holiday traffic which was very heavy and therefore noisy.
Just across the road from the beach. Sea views. A great welcome from Sandy and Glen.
Exceptionally clean. Ver comfortable.
Outstanding welcome and very helpful hosts. Great room, everything feels brand new - facilities in room enable you to be comfortable and independent. Sparkling clean lodge and many thoughtful touches to make you feel at home. Highly recommended.
Lovely stay! Great location and lovely welcome.
Fabulous hosts - kind and caring and the breakfast is wonderful. Thank you again Glen and Sandy :)
We are happy
The staff were excellent and very accommodating. The location was great , easy walking distance to Maynly village which had good dining options. Would recommend as a place to stay.
Clean Tidy Great hosts
Despite the unit having double glazing it ws very thin and ineffective at keeping road noise out as the property is located directly beside the main road in and out of Whangaparaoa despite being directly beside a small beach. Very friendly staff and great location apart from the road noise.
Fantastic property with wonderful, friendly hosts. Sandy and Glen took great care of us and made us feel so welcome on our arrival into New Zealand. Lovely big, clean room with plenty of space and large bathroom. We also had a beautiful breakfast delivered to our room, a real treat after a long day of travelling. Highly recommend this hotel, perfect spot opposite the beach also. Thanks Sandy and Glen
Every aspect of our stay was excellent
Our welcome from Sandy and Glen was outstanding to say the least - both warm and legitimate. This made for a great start to our overnight stay. Additionally, the small touches including a hand-written, personalised-welcome message and freshly baked (by Sandy) croissants with lovely-rustic presentation - was great! We dont normally visit this part of the country but the location - metres to beach and hospitality was fabulous!
Very good stay
Nice.
Captivating surroundings. A place to relax from the hustle and bustle of the city life. Private beachfront so breathtaking 😍
Awesome spot
Only issue was they gave us a portacot with no blanket
.
Nice views
Very clean tidy
A view of the Waitemata was a welcome site. Traffic noise was high coming from a farm Internet connection first day asked for us to accept cookies before I could log in. At 7 30 am on Sat maintenance started next door with sawing and hammering affecting our meditation time.
My husband and I were very impressed with the accommodation, very clean and everything you needed provided. Troy went the extra mile for us, especially after I got lost, he couldn't have been more helpful. Will definitely stay again.
Just superb all round amazing location and so close to the village where everything is available
Was clean and tidy .. had everything we needed .. very close to beach was great.. awesome spa bath .. staff were really friendly and woke up to easter eggs in our door which was a really nice touch .. great place too stay
Troy and his whanau/team were awesome. They were frequently and professional throughout the visit. They went the extra mile, even sent through beach conditions on the morning that they thought we might be taking the kids swimming.
Clean and good view well situated to facilities for food and drinks all with in walming distsnce
Very comfortable bed, loved the Spa Bath. Lovely sized room. We will be back.
Loved our very warm welcome and the effort taken to ensure we were comfortable. We all be back. Magical location with great sea views
