My stay started out perfectly great — everything lovely. The owners were super-friendly at check‑in, and everything seemed lovely. I was going through a rough time, checked out early, and accidentally left a few things behind, including the key. When I came back the next day, they’d kindly packed everything into a bag for me. Great.
And then the vibe did a full 180.
The same owner who’d been warm when I checked in suddenly looked at me like I’d dragged a body across the carpet instead of accidentally leaving a key behind. The friendliness evaporated. The judgment was thick enough to cut with a butter knife. It was such a sharp, icy shift that the whole place instantly felt… off. I go away for privacy, not to be silently assessed like I’ve broken some unspoken motel commandment.
It’s amazing how fast a perfectly ordinary stay can tilt into “is this where the horror movie starts?” territory. One minute it’s a pleasant little spot, the next minute you’re wondering if you should back away slowly and avoid any showers with see‑through curtains. The accommodation itself was lovely but that sudden personality switch was pure Norman Bates energy.
A key return shouldn’t feel like the prelude to a thriller, yet here we are. Small town New Zealand and no understanding of privacy.

The staff was great and the only real issue was the location. Once we got there we did not want to drive into town for dinner. I will say, however, I did not see many (if any) hotels in the down town area or near the water so it just may be the way the city is laid out.

Kitchenette with good supply of utensils, S&P, cooking oil, Plunger coffee and range of teas. Sadly, we didn't have enough spare time to use the pool, but wish we had. Even though the Lodge is on a very busy main road, we couldn't hear the traffic noise. Would definitely stay here again. No shops, cafes or restaurants within walking distance, but didn't feel that was a problem.

Lodge Bordeaux is absolutely wonderful. The rooms are clean and well maintained. A kitchen was provided in our room so we could cook if we wanted. Free use of laundry facilities. The hotel is centrally located on highway one so it is easy to navigate from this point. Town center (basin) is within 5 minutes and Whangarei falls is a short drive. We loved staying here and will be back in the future. This place is a gem!

Clearly the best yet in Whangarei

Friendly check in and the room itself is well appointed with comfortable decor and a great air-jet tub. Kitchen has everything needed and no more which is good. Reception suggestions for takeaway delivery were on the mark. Heat pump in the room was effective, if a little on the noisy side. Overall an excellent stay.

Great place to stay in Whangarei

What a lovely, lovely stay in Whangarei! We stayed here two nights. Wonderful, friendly hosts! Comfortable beds, and having the big spa tub in our bathroom was SUCH a treat! (HUGE whirlpool tub! *double thumbs up*) The laundry room was easily accessible on the 1st floor. Would highly recommend.

Downtown areas and restaurants a short drive away; Tutukaka (main departure point for diving trips to the Poor Knights) is about half an hour away.

Exceptionally clean home away from home!

Room met our high expectations based on style and cleanliness except for the coarse sheets. Kitchen was equipped in an exceptional manner except for the refrigerator that was so packed with items for sale that we had to make room for our items. Front desk service was quite varied. Person who checked us in didn't acknowledge our 50th wedding anniversary and wasn't very friendly. Two other women were friendly but not helpful at all re local tourist spots. Most dangerous exit onto the main highway from property we have ever experienced! Husband suggested mounting a convex mirror so traffic coming from right can be seen by drivers exiting parking lot. Traffic noise all night long was a bit of a problem. We will stay there again if we are ever in the area.

On holiday in Whangarei. Hotel was clean and met our needs, with driving access to nearby beaches and sites. Need to drive to get downtown and most restaurants. Bed was called a king size but felt smaller. Staff were helpful and friendly

Wonderful stay

Could not recommend this wonderful place enough. It was perfect with wonderful hosts. Spotlessly clean and so quiet even though on main road. Would definitely recommend this little gem to anyone travelling through.
