We stayed 2 nights in an executive 1 bedroom suite, this is probably the nicest, cleanest, well maintained motel we have ever stayed in. Was very quiet and well located. Our only comment would be the 2 seater couch is not very comfortable. Other than that, was perfect. We would definitely recommend to others traveling to Whangarei

A beautifully maintained motel providing very comfortable accommodation with everything you need. Lovely and clean with goods beds for a great nights sleep. Shower and bathroom was better than most with a mirror you can actually use!!!
The staff (Cindy) was so friendly and helpful - making you feel like one of the family.
Parking was plentiful and safe.

Located a little outside the centre, it was easy to find. Big car park, big room with everything we needed. Everything was clean & new looking.
We enjoyed Whangarei, there was a regatta & a vintage car gathering (apparently every fortnight at one of the cafe carparks).
