The motel was clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Old motel upgraded and comfortable.
Nowhere to hang clothes, should this be important.
Pleased had electric blanket. Suggestion - check \"dodgy\" connections at wall and temperature control.
Stove had switch not working. Not an issue for me.
Good Wifi
Would stay again.

It was perfect for what we needed, close to the Whangarei hospital. Great sized rooms and very clean for the age of this property. Amenities were all there in the room. We were in the roadside room and it was a little bit noisy but then we do live out in the country! Would definitely stay again. Thank you 🙂

Advertising a pool. Which was un usable as was dirty
Steven
Disappointed with pool not being open and was dirty in middle of summer. Many sky channels advertised as being available were not. Shower pressure was minimal. Room itself was tidy and sufficient

Very clean but i did see a baby cockroach running around in the bathroom. Not that i minded as it probably came in through the window id imagine.
Verified traveler
If you have business at Whangarei Hospital, the location of this property is perfect, just a 5 min drive down the road. However, the property is very dated, cleanish but in dire need of some TLC. Some of the amenities did not work...eg a wall heater in lounge. The stove in the kitchen needed a really good scrub as did some surfaces.The water pressure is very poor and the temperature of the hot water is minimal. Its shame really because the location is so great.
Ricardo
Not again
Older building. Room is spacious but the furniture is quite worn. Some noise from the road next to the building and also from the emergency service helicopters which probably fly to the nearby Whangarei Hospital. Because I was still sitting in the car outside my room after check out, I could see through the open door that my bed had been made again, but the sheets had not been changed. However, I don't want to exclude the possibility of a mistake regarding the length of my stay, despite the very manageable number of rooms...
Verified traveler
Very helpful for late check in which was great as was at hospital. Very close to hospital which was awesome.

Josh was friendly and on to it. We were arriving at 1am in the morning, so he sorted us out. Great location, easy to find and a great basic space for a night's sleep.

Lovely hosts, made you feel very welcome and were very obliging in terms of changing our room so we had cooking facilities. Room was clean and comfortable. Happy to recommend. Close to Hospital and City.

For us, the stay was about being conveniently located to a family function and also other family living close by. We purposefully chose Villa del rio for the pool but unfortunately we didnt get any free time to use it. It looked great. Our host was friendly, informative and that helps when travelling a long way from home.

How close it was to our griends and family. The pool and sau a was great

Spa pool and pool is great. Convenient. Clean. No aircon.

Person behind the counter was nice enough but was dirty and rough. rooms were dated and had scent bombs to try to make it smell better. The scent was worse than any smell. You get what you pay for and this was cheap.Will not stay again.

Del Rio a great lace to stay
Owner was very helpful in complying with all our requests. The room was clean, tidy and well organised.
Verified traveler
The room was nice and warm when we went in and the bed was comfortable thank you for the electric blanket it was a cold night out. Though I did feel the person who checked us in was quite gruff in appearance and manner did not make us feel very welcome more an imbuggerance. But will recommend to all and will stay again.

Awesome motel
Amazing motel, close to town for everything, enjoyed our stay here.
Verified traveler
A great overnight for a party of 6. We stayed in the 3 bedroom house on the property which was excellent, as well as being clean and comfortable. The beds were also really nice which is a bonus. One bathroom with a separate toilet which was helpful. I will definitely stay again and hopefully this time we will get to enjoy the pool & spa pool.

After the day we had sitting in the Whangarei hospital with our daughter who was in a major car accident, it was nice to have somewhere to lay a very heavy head and tired body. The unit we had was a 3 bedroom very clean and tidy unit which had all the creature comforts and a homely feeling. Was so nice to have a hot shower and sit on the private deck to watch the fireworks while collecting our thoughts. When I rang the Motel prior to our arrival to explain our situation,it was so nice to hear a kind reasurring voice on the other end of the phone. We have stayed in many motels and this one is staying on our list. When you are in Whangarei and need somewhere to stay, look no further then The Motel Villa Del Rio, you will not be disappointed.

Nice place to stay. Very helpful giving us info about Whangarei.

This motel is without exception one of my best experiences.
We stayed in a 'house', and were able to function there as a home away from home.
We booked at short notice and our circumstances were catered for well.
