We had a baby with us so needed to use the bath. It had dust and dirt come out of the jets when water was added. Not just a little bit. Lots. Re filled the bath twice to try to get it clean. Yuk
Very clean and tidy. Perfect for our short stay in Whangarei.

The room was immaculate , big comfortable and had everything I needed for my stay in Whangarei. Lovely staff meme er at reception
Clean, tidy modern rooms with everything you could need. Perfect location
The pillows on the bed were not the most comfortable
The staff were. Very helpful and kind from the time we arrived and asked if I would like to book another night and gave me a discount so I did and I was very appreciative. We really enjoyed our two night there❤️❤️❤️ Great parking also
Nothing
Super clean and tidy two bedroom unit, very comfortable
Ants in the kitchen
Immaculate cleanliness and presentation. Will stay there again. Although it was quite close to the road I was not bother with excessive traffic noise. Thank you very much
Area is great, Hotel is awesome!
No problems whatsoever.
I book at hotels/motels often and I'd like to say the customer service at this place is one of the best I've ever experienced and I don't say that lightly. I usually buffer time for check-ins because I know how tedious and long they can get but not the case here! Was done in 2minutes!!! They didn't require a bond which I found super convenient and was why the process was so much faster than the typical check-ins. Lee was amazing she explained politely who she was and where she'll be should I require anything as she handed me a cute glass bottle of cold milk and my room key. We decided to do a little escape for a weekend and this place looked nice and modern with a spa bath so we booked it the night before but the quality service is the reason why I've gone out of my way to write a review. Where you stay sets the tone for a trip and this was the best decision we made. Thank you for such a beautiful experience.
Didn't bother me but parking can be a little tight/cosy outside your room if the motel is fully booked.
Clean and tidy
There was a light on the tv that was quite bright at night time.
Lovely warm motel room, very clean & well organised.
Large LED on the tv all night which lite up room. . Also motel is right on state highway 1 so you can hear traffic in lower motel rooms BUT we didnt notice the noise overnight. Just in the morning.
Everything. Quiet, close to the township, smelled lovely when you first open door, very very clean
Nothing
It was a great experience and my family and I enjoyed the stay! Thanks for such a wonderful place! Hopefully see you again next time!
The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The bed was also very comfortable. The location is very handy to the township. Staff are absolutely lovely. All in all it was a great stay.
There is nothing at all to complain about!
Beds are comfy, and clean everything we need

Rooms were comfortable. Had everything needed for short stay. Staff available when needed.
Shower cubical a little small.
Location handy to shops and main road north or south. Very clean and spacious room. Excellent parking. Pleasant meet/greet staff. Lazy boy chairs are comfortable.
Beds a little too firm for me.
Nothing
Not clean and lamp was not working at all . Blanket were dirty
I was in Rm 1 and the traffic noise was quite loud. There were no ants but after making a coffee and opening and closing the fridge ants appeared on the bench
Clean and modern
The 2 bedroom unit was spacious enough for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) and absolutely spotless. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchenette was very handy for making breakfast. The heat pump ensured the unit was comfortably warmth.
The unit was very, very minimalist - just 2 recliners, a table and 4 chairs, a small side table and a TV in the lounge. Though immaculately clean and tidy, the space lacked any warmth and was quite sterile. Some soft furnishings and prints on the walls would make the space much more welcoming. A couch would also be useful as only 2 of us could sit on the recliners to watch TV.
Nice, convenient, very clean. Bed was too firm
The renovations have been finished to a high standard. The rooms are consistently clean and well equipped. The owners are kind and compassionate. We always try to stay here if they have availability
No complaints

I like the bath and beds are super comfy! The room is perfect for our family with young kids.
Really cool spa bath
Nothing
Good location. Heaps space. 3 x beds. Spa. 2 x tvs with chromecast. Quiet place. Good facilities
Shower soap dispenser was empty or not working
Property was super clean, beds were comfortable enough but poorly made, with a flat sheet just draped over the bed so constantly having to remake it. The linen was so starchy that it was almost crunchy - enough to wake up my baby each time I moved in the bed but in general, the rooms were clean and tidy and comfortable, but certainly still quite expensive for what was a very “plain” unit. Road noise is quite significant and worth consideration if you’re a light sleeper.
The hosts were seemingly nice, they allowed a late checkout but were hounding us to leave before the agreed time, then, I had a severe allergic reaction and was having to deal with that and waiting for rescue meds to work, the owner was extremely angry that I had made their cleaner wait, as I explained I was having this medical event where my throat was starting to swell and because I was dealing with that, I was late getting out of the unit - and the response I got (to my saying “look I’m really sorry but my throat was swelling and I was needing to deal with that”) was “that’s not my problem”, so an absolutely awful experience in the end and we literally couldn’t believe the inhuman experience and lack of care or empathy during a really scary situation, where their only concern was that they needed to clean the unit. Would never stay there again and would caution anyone who chooses to stay here.
Fresh and clean, everything was new and in amazing condition. The bath in the bathroom was amazing! Couldn’t get over how comfortable the bed was.
Only had 3 pillows on bed, but staff provided another on request. Literally the only complaint.
New, clean and modern. Very close to the hospital.
The bath was able to get very hot and had decent jets. The facilities were clean and more spacious than I anticipated. Very close to the CBD and the restaurants there. Is against off SH1 so very easy to find and quick to get back on the road.
The air conditioning struggled a bit to get the room to temperature, but did still work and made a difference.
Always love staying here and it has been done up since the last time I stayed, clean and tidy Everytime, friendly host 🥰
The best place to stay in Whangarei, spacious , clean and just an all round lovely feeling , staff were exceptional, will definitely be back when we come up that way !!!!
Large room, clean
Road noise quite loud, small kitchen and fridge
The staff were very helpful and even suggested places we should visit. Room was very clean and everything looked new. The bathroom had a spa which the family very much enjoyed. Highly recommended. There was an air-conditioner.in the kitchen that kept the place and warm
Nothing
Great value. Easy access. They managed my mums check in, and she didn't have anything to complain about (bigger feat than what it may sound).
Main reason for mark down: inadequate ventilation. After we all showered, and then thr next morning following this, there was significant condensation. As we were down for a hospital appointment, not the best.
Staff are lovely and cater to extra needs
Car parking can get abit tight when full
For an overnight stay the bed was very comfortable, it was quiet for sleeping - we were travelling for work 600m round-trip so this was important. Dinner @ The Quay at the Basin was also delicious & beautiful. A wonderful stay.
everything was clean and tidy. it was really good accommodation and everything is organised. no complaints
nothing
Great location, easy access
We really enjoyed staying there, even though there was a mix up with the room that we picked everything was perfect for our little family. Thank you and see you again
Clean and tidy with all the basics. It was super quiet, which surprised me.
The light switch in the bathroom needs urgent attention. It does not look safe at all! I could see behind the plastic, into the wall! The light switch covering was hanging on by a thread.
Excellent stay. An older motel but recently renovated rooms very clean and tidy
Clean and very new

spacious rooms, exceptionally clean.
Always my first option to stay here, lovely staff. Clean, comfortable and warm. Little kitchenette serves its purpose, functional. Easy check-in and out. Close to hospital, eateries and new world.
Leaving
Spacious & we really liked the comfy bed & recliners!
Nothing to not like!
The room was excellent and far exceeded my expectation. We were very much surprised on arrival. The room has a cute kitchenette, it was warm, very clean and the bathroom and SPA TUB! Amazing.
I have nothing to add here. It was ALL fabulous.
Recently renovated to a high standard, exceptionally clean, handy location, good parking, comfortable bed, spa bath was great, friendly staff. Will definitely be back.
All ok.
Nice and new, quiet
Ants but staff did solve problem immediately when discussed with them which was great
