    Loved the Riverside restaurants and playground area.

    Loved the Riverside restaurants and playground area. The Hunderwaisser museum was good too. The walk along the river on a good day and arty house and crafts in shops are delightful. Whangarei city is nice to investigate the many stores and restaurants some up little alley ways. Great coffee and breakfasts there too. It's a lovely city I've visited many times.

    People/salespersons are usually pleasant and helpful.

    People/salespersons are usually pleasant and helpful. Your ID will probably be checked at least once by police. Large selection of food places. Apart from Hundertwasser Art Centre, Whangarei Museum, the alternative Quarry Art Centre and the Waterfalls, check out town has anything else you need or are interested in… a quiet town otherwise!

    The place is pretty by the marina with shops and restaurants, but! Due to circumstances missed the lunch/dinner hours for eating out. All (yes all on the waterfront) restaurants only offer bar snacks during other hours. EG fries, squid rings etc. We wanted something more substantial. Many people were walking away when they found that out. This is a tourist spot for pities sake! We had had a long drive and were starving! Also no really nice accommodation. Best I found was 3 1/2 star Distinction Hotel which has good bones but was really tired needing a major makeover. Stained carpet, wall paper peeling off. I am a kiwi and embarrassed that this tourist spot has sat on its laurels. I know people struggling with covid etc but wouldn’t you want to do everything in your power to make your place more desirable. My view - if you don’t have to stop don’t 😡

    Pembrooke was across the road from a lovely inner city bush. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the birdsong. Supermarkets and eats were close enough. We didn't have enough time to visit places though we know there are great places to visit.

    We only stayed for one night so we managed to get down to the marina and see the cool ball-clock and the Hundertwasser (which is amazing) and have an awesome lunch (so many places to pick from!). Next time we go to Whangarei we will be sure to do the loop walk which sounds very interesting indeed!

    We went with the kids to aquatic centre, flip out, action zone and the heritage park. Very good family entertainment and easy to drive from place to place. The motel is very close to supermarkets and various eateries. Good location.

    This place is a hostal at best. photo looks good but that’s it. it should not be called a residential villa. there are 2 bathrooms but they are community bathrooms. our bedroom is at the attic with no windows. don’t stay there unless you are expecting a hostal. I have much better hostals before, even in China. we didn’t stay because we couldn’t. we paid for the first night. we cancel the 2nd night. community kitchen is just not to the standard. sorry. it’s my fault, I should ask more questions. next time I’ll do better.

    This is a lovely house-hotel place. You are sharing this house with other traveling guests, so some socializing would be going on if you stay here for more than one day. The rooms are cozy with comfortable beds. There was a small TV and plug-in electric heater provided. There are a couple of bathrooms to be shared and a homey kitchen. The host was very kind and communicative. The price was very fair as accommodations vary in this northern section of New Zealand.

    Chelsea House is a beautiful property and it was interesting to hear a little of its history. The hosts were very warm and welcoming and it was good to get their dinner suggestions and a little about the points of interest in the area. Our room was very warm and spacious and the bed was super comfortable. A lovely alternative to the usual hotel/motel accommodation.

    The villa was beautiful, inside and out and was cheap not only compared to other places in Whangarei but for how nice it was. The interior was nice with old-school paintings and couches. The staff were very accommodating with us (as we checked in late) and gave me clear instructions on accessing our rooms.

    Nancy’s home is lovely! She has though of everything to make travelers feel welcome and comfortable. My spacious room had a view of the garden, a terrace, an ensuite bath with even a towel warmer. And her kitchen was fully supplied! My best stay so far in New Zealand…you won’t be sorry!

    Very suprised at how quiet the room was, considering the property being on a main road and the lodge being full. Great room with good facilities. Price was really good. Will definitely return when needing a place to stay in Whangarei.

    The lady at reception was lovely. The accommodation was excellent and the best we’ve stayed at in Whangarei recently. With so many of the motels housing long term tenants now it’s really hard to find a good motel in Whangarei.

    excellent location and value for money. Customer service is very good and really nice to have separate lounge area from the bedrooms you don’t really get that option in a lot of other motels/hotels.
