    First impressions of Whangarei was it was a small town, the roads were a bit confusing to navigate, the first few people we came across in the town area were rough and quite rude. As we went around the basin area we met some lovely people on walks. We found a nice park and ate at a few places. There were plenty of options for people with food intolerances. Overall it was nice to spend a couple of days there, but I'm not sure if I'd want to spend any longer there.

    Great art around town. Lovely cafes along the waterfront. Very pretty. Local man set up his woodfired pizza along the quay and made the most amazing authentic Italian pizza. In the morning someone else was selling artisan fresh bread in the same place. Amazing

    The city centre has very good bar, cafe, and restaurant options. The pedestrian mall provides great access and ambience. More dining options are close by at the town basin (riverfront), which also has a great pedestrian ambience, with walking paths and artwork. The Hundertwasser art centre provides a great visual backdrop and is worth a visit. There are very nice walks both up and down the river from the Basin, as well as short drives away. The Whangarei Heads and coastline provide a very nice scenic drive, as well as terrific beaches.

    Whangarei is a vibrant community with opportunities for everyone to enjoy their time. We loved the art galleries, museums and gardens but there was more for the sports-minded. There was a wide range of cafes and restaurants to suit all incomes.

    Motel 6 was the perfect base for our 4 night stay in Whangarei. We especially appreciated the upgrade to the apartment which was spacious and had a good kitchen. The staff were incredibly friendly and responsive, for example replacing blown lightbulbs as soon as we mentioned it. The apartment was lovely and clean, with a retro vibe. The location was excellent, with a great supermarket almost next door and we walked to town several times. Thanks for a memorable stay and we would definitely stay here again.

    Cafe and restaurant food had good selections. Location of hotel from the airport and into Whangarei was easy to access. Great friendly staff from reception, restaurant and cleaning. Older style hotel but had everything you required and plenty of room. Great sitting on the restaurant deck in the sun having a drink and bite to eat.
