Guest Reviews
- Noel (7/5): - We have stayed here many times. It is old but kept very clean. The beds are very comfortable. We will stay here again.
- Martine (8/5): - Comphy beds, easy location, clean and spacious, great shower pressure, value for money. Only had a rubbish bin in the bathroom none in kitchen.
- aurian (6/5): -
- Malcolm (7/5): Very pleasant - Hospital just a 5 minute walk away
- Tadayasu (9/5): とても良い -
- Paul and Margaret (8/5): Our stay was brief but pleasant. - Good location Lack of disable facilities, but we knew this before we booked
- Sophie (8/5): Easy and comfortable overnight stay in Whangārei - The hotel is very close to the city centre either by walking or by transport. Check in was super easy and the staff were really friendly. The rooms looked exactly like what is in the pictures and for someone who was just staying one night it ticked all our boxes. The beds are comfy, not too soft, not too firm and the bathroom and kitchenette area was clean and tidy.
- murray (9/5): - The room was very clean and tidy. The location was great. Nothing
- Sam Nicole (9/5): -
- Margie (9/5): Absolutely worth it - Very clean, had a great kitchenette with a stove, absolutely what a needed. Great location, was visiting family in hospital which was a 5min walk. Maunu shopping centre has a four square, Takeaways, chemist and a lovely cafe/bakery. Very convenient to bus stop to town, or a 15 minute walk. Laundromat is 10 minute walk. Even tho motel is on the busy main route, hardly hear traffic. Nothing really
- tuhakaraina (3/5): It was ok for one night, budget wise very good, but the unit needs upgrading - Close proximity to town and netball courts Leaking fridge, mould in bathroom
- neil (7/5): Room was clean and tidy.still no hot water! - No hot water!

- Kristal (5/5): Would use again if we needed too. - We got there late after 10pm and was greeted by a person - yaay. Room was clean, beds were comfy, bathroom/toilet was doable. For what we paid for and what we needed it was great. Will be a place stored away in the "back of mind" for another "just in case stay'. We weren't there long enough to find out what we didn't like.
- Lafaele (3/5): - Nothing Everything was just uncomfortable bad experience for a nice located accommodation
- Sandra (8/5): Great location, clean and tidy. - Needed last minute unexpected accommodation close to hospital. Perfect place to stay, everything I needed.
- Waimata (8/5): - The location was suitable for our needs, the room was spacious enough and the staff were very accommodating Wanted to change room to downstairs as I didnt realize we had a room up stairs so was told to check out of our upstairs room and wait 3 hours until a dwonstairs room was availiable. We booked and paid for 4 nights but ended up checking out a day earlier as circumstances changed for us.
- Anne (8/5): Very adequate would have been great to have pool open but very comfortable room lots of space - The location bear the hospital but could be difficult to get in if you come from the north and it is peak hour traffic around 3-5 Had some very dirty cups
- Wayne (8/5): very suitable - I got upgraded to a larger room with extra facilities at no extra cost. Thanks.
- Geoff (1/5): Bare minimum comfort - Kitchen very dirty cupboards dirty and smell
Dust everywhere bathroom sills mouldy
Bed was clean only plus point Curtains a joke too short no reception host or contact by phone or on arrival and departure way overpriced
- Frank (7/5): Comfortable and good location - Very clean and comfortable Office signage
- Alison (8/5): perfect place to stay close to WBH - closest motel to the hospital, clean and tidy, comfy bed, smart tv, good shower, able to park an 4wd with ease a little hard to turn right out of motel during rush hour, and nose almost on road to be able to see oncoming cars, but nothing too bad
- Kimberly (8/5): Good value for money - The place is clean and very spacious for an affordable price. Location is good, near the town. It was a bit hot on the summer, we had one electric fan.
- Wayne (7/5): good. -
- Raimonds (7/5): -
- David (9/5): -
- Janin (8/5): - Clean and comfortable, remember this is a budget price motel so don't expect 5 star accommodation and you won't be disappointed. Didn't have much interaction with staff but they were all pleasant and polite. Further out of town than I expected, about 30 minutes walk and very few ubers to get back
- Gaylene (8/5): Would stay again though - Location. Cooked own foods would be nice if there was tea towels, can opener to be ble to prepare meals and clean after ourselves
- Jamie (7/5): -
- michael (8/5): Suited our purpose thanks. -
- Karin (8/5): - Close to what we needed
- mereana (10/5): Best sleep ever - The beds were super comfy. Had the best sleep 😴 close to the hospital well, where I needed to be. Provided the best room for my mother with dementia & decided to stay another night👌
Also topped up our tea, coffee etc & fresh towels & sheets given. Everything needed was available. Definitely would go here again to be close to the hospital 🙏 Very nice young couple👍 Everything was great & close to all amenities 👌
- Mihi (10/5): I will be staying again - The guy at front desk very kind . Also so helpful easy to communicate with. Ended up getting an extra night Nothing
- Brian (8/5): Comfortable , clean , very convenient for our needs ( hospital appointment) - Close to the hospital Leaving parking space tight .
- Makareta (9/5): Homely, comfortable, family friendly. - We are a family of 6, 2 adults and 4 young children. This motel catered to our needs completely. It can be quite hard for us to find one room for all of us. We got a 3 bedroom, 5 bed “house” for an exceptional price. We will definitely be booking here in the future knowing our needs will be met. The property is fenced and private, our children were able to play in the yard freely, the space inside was very spacious. No aircon, thankfully it wasn’t too hot of a day. The fans in every room were definitely comfortable during our stay though.
- Mayron (5/5): Great location for hospital, town & motorway - Location

- Marina (9/5): -
- Carey (7/5): - Just liked the location as it was close to were I need to be It was very hot but thats expected at this time of year
- Katarina (3/5): 1 week stay with a baby and 2 adults - The bed was comfortable and good location and reasonably priced There was no ventilation in the bathroom so the sealing was peeling and stayed damp which cause the shower to not be very clean specially for a toddler. The oven smoked and the microwave dirty. No chopping boards no spatula. No fire alarms in any of the rooms and a painting hanging up over graffiti. The beds were comfortable definitely a great place to stay for a night or two but we stayed for a week total and with a baby I need somewhere I can cook and not smoke out the room. Would have got a much higher rating if they had fire alarms and clean appliances

- Adrian (7/5): All in all I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, hopefully next time things may be different. - I stayed here 5 years ago when my brother at Ehangarei Hospital. This stay was similar, my sister was transferred from Kaitaia Hospital. The Motel is a minute away from the Hospital which is convenient The mattresses were too soft. Not a fan of a shower curtain. The shower floor was ever so slippery and there was no AC, highly recommended, the fan did nothing.
- Mohammed (10/5): - Staff service and spacious room
- Mohammed (10/5): - The room were spacious and very good staff
- Gayle (9/5): - An older type motel but well kept ie clean. Location to the hospital is brilliant and the reason why we chose this motel.
They seemed to have a lot of guests so that speaks favorably. There is a pool but locked up and certainly needs TLC.
I would use this motel again. Clean and comfortable beds. One big bed in separate room and two singles.
Everything there if you wished to cook
