• Tranacy (10/5): -
• Jean Marie (9/5): - We stay here when we fly back from Queensland. Friendly staff beautiful amenities pool &sauna Very handy location and popular. Opposite Mitre 10 Next to pak n save McDonalds. Very close to many shopping facilities and convenience stores and main street of Kaitaia
• Verna (10/5): - ,very good loved our stay The wifi didn't work all the time we were there
• Naveen (8/5): -
• Isabel (10/5): Clean, tidy, central enough and roomy with an awesome dining room table. - Clean, beds were comfy, lovely big table with good chairs to sit in. Was comfortable and roomy. The next morning we came across not so friendly staff as we were leaving. Maybe they were cleaning the units, but it doesn't take much to smile and say good morning or kia ora. That was the only downside to an otherwise good experience.
• tk (8/5): -
• Cheryl (10/5): Great place to stay nice and quiet and near shops - Enjoyed it was quiet and good location near shops
• Priscilla (8/5): Great! Slept well. - Everything was great, got to have a really good sleep. Everything was clean and it's near where I need to go for my meetings.
• Adeline Tait (5/5): - Beds were comfortable. Finding ants over complimented cookie. Towels were stiff, need to use washing liquid than washing powder. Unit 8 needs better heating system. As the small heater was broken and it doesn't heat a two bedroom apartment.
• Filip (10/5): - We booked late, and checked in late with no issues. Just picked up key from arranged spot. Very nice facilities, with good beds.
• patricia mark (6/5): - Good size The window catches need to be looked at very loose, the heater on the wall didn't work. Needs a heat pump put in.
• Sha (10/5): 非常不错的停留地 - 去最北端最好的停留地。
• Jasmine (8/5): -
• Philipa (9/5): - Our room was lovely, very tidy and had everything we needed. They were easy to get incontact with as I had a very late check in time. We will definitely be back. Will be our go to accom, everytime we head back My room was very hot during the night. But other than that it was an amazing stay.
• Jazalia (9/5): Great, we only stayed for one night and didn’t get to meet staff as we required a late check in and had to leave early f - Property was clean and well maintained Everything was great
• watling12 (8/5): -
• Rita (10/5): - Close to the main big shops like warehouse, paknsave, etc self service gas station, staff were wonderful, place is beautiful our family loved our stay, highly reccomended we most definatly will be back
• Ayodhya (5/5): -
• Guest (5/5): -
• Mick (8/5): - It was a good experience Nothing to do with the accommodation but I WILL NOT USE BOOKING.COM EVER AGAIN EVEN AS A LAST RESTORE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE IN EVERY DRPARTMEMT END OFF
• Jenny (10/5): -
• Barbara (8/5): - Rooms were clean everyday and lodge was close to supermarket We had no WiFi but understand due to the weather rain week before staying.
• Simon (7/5): - A budget clean & tidy joint - typical refurbed 1970’s- 1980’s motel. Some road traffic but nothing that really bothered me Nothing really. Front office/home must expect “after hours calls” from guests, as it is a service industry & they Live onsite. If you’re not prepared to support guests - then pick another industry. Lady was average on customer support/enthusiasm, man was better when I reminded him that we are paying guests & it was only 5-6-7pm. Otherwise it all worked out OK 👍
• virginie (10/5): -
• Nicole (7/5): - Location
• Julienne (10/5): - Late check in, staff had keys ready for us in a lock box. Si.ple straight forward information. Even though I did not meet any staff due to late check in and early check out. Very happy with the room and service.
• Bruno (8/5): - Logement très correct, nous avons très bien dormi au calme. Style motel, la voiture est garée devant la chambre. On a eu quelques intempéries qui nous ont privé d'électricité mais pas du tout de la faute du logement 😉
• apirav (8/5): -
• Severine (9/5): - Motel spacieux et confortable Idéal pour passer une nuit pour aller visiter cape reinga La réception était fermée à notre arrivée mais clé disponible dans une boîte aux lettres. La wifi ne fonctionnait pas
• Kevin (7/5): -
• Georgina (5/5): Average - Easy to find Swimming pool Clean but dated No receptionist No response to calls Rooms not serviced
• Anata (8/5): - Big room Bedroom behind, so no noise from the road Parking in front of the room
• lacwisy (9/5): - Logement propre, spacieux et calme. Bien équipé. À proximité de la ville et des commerces Certains éléments mériteraient un petit rafraîchissement, mais rien de dérangeant
• Nicola (10/5): Will be back! - Perfect for 90 Mile comp Handy to town Quiet. Good parking.
• Dominique (7/5): - Son emplacement Le wifi est instable….et les oreillers étaient trop durs
• evelyne&nir (9/5): -
• BettyAnn (7/5): - The cleanliness of the unit and the clean linen & towels provided most days. Shower was great. (Good pressure). Overall we enjoyed our stay here. It was a good spot to unwind after a hard days fishing. Found the internet a little slow. My husband didnt like the bed it was too soft for him. I did not mind the bed. It was comfortable to me. I was under the impression there was laundry facilities but i read it wrong. And i did think we were getting a room with an oven to cook our own food. It was only a stove top. However we made do with what we had. No major drama. It just meant less cooked meals.
• Steve (10/5): Comfortable motel which provided value for money - Clean comfortable with helpful staff. The communal living area was spacious with good all round facilities. Additional cooling fans available Mismatched cutlery which lacked a sharp knife and scissors.
• Mike (10/5): -
• Benita (7/5): Okay for a layover - Close to Pak n Save and there was a spare bed in the lounge. Also had a full kitchen. It was a bit old. This is not really an issue, but just noting. The normal tv didn't work and had to link up to internet tv.
• John (4/5): An Old Motel offering spacious rooms in need of renovation - The suite for three adults was spacious enough. The bed was fine as I now recall & the towels too. The motel is very old and needs modernization. Rather disappointing one-night booking when expecting better in this historic family town.
• Lloyde (5/5): We got through it in the end - Good size toilet and shower. The booking was stuffed up from the start should have been 5 nights, it was then transferred from the place I thought I had booked to this one and we where not told. This place then had to find us accommodation at short notice. They found us a cabin as there was no other accommodation all booked out due to the fishing competition. This would be more an issue with booking.com I also did not like the chairs very flimsy no back support.
• Hine (10/5): Always a comfortable stay with easy processes and friendly staff. - I like the location the ease of check in and out and the friendly staff. I stay here often and it is always my go to whenever I am in Kaitaia and don’t feel like staying with family. Nothing if I didn’t like the property or anything about it I wouldn’t go.
• Mary (5/5): It was ok for the 1 night out on the town.. but would have enjoyed it more if spa was available. - Close to town Undies from previous guests were left on the window seal..I guess to dry..only noticed them when we opened window. Pool looked very cloudy and photos are deceiving online..spa also not in use. No air conditioning.
• Lianne (8/5): Overall this day was good but picking up the key from a box put me off - I liked the location and the fact you could park outside your room I did not like not seeing anyone at reception, I did not like not being greeted and having to read a note on the window regarding a key to get in I felt it was quite confusing and not welcoming.
• Eddie (9/5): -
• Gregory (8/5): - The location and it was clean, cosy and well equipped.
• AndreB17 (4/5): -
• Sandra (6/5): No office and noisy - The property was clean. Office was always closed. Wanted to grab a few sightseeing pamphlets but the office had a closed sign (at 11am) and the lady ignored me. Owners have 2 yelping, constantly barking little dogs. Wifi cuts out frequently
• Joo (7/5): -
• Sharon (6/5): - Easy location for cape. Rooms were clean and basic. Good cooking facilities Lots of things needed repairs in the room. There were no smoke alarms, the shower base was all cracked and sagging, the stove top had one element that only cooked on high and the power points felt to need replacing.
• Priscilla (7/5): Enjoyed - Comfy
• Luxmi (5/5): Probably would not stay here again because didn’t think it was value for money. - Not very impressed with the Kaitaia Motor Lodge. Photos on website do not depict the actual rooms. Our shower tray didn’t drain, there were not enough power points to plug electrical items into and not sufficient kitchen bowls.
• Harwinder (8/5): -
• Taitiana (8/5): - Great place to stay and awesome location No real air conditioning
• Reddy (8/5): -

• Donna (7/5): -
• Noyi (4/5): An average stay overall. The room felt a bit congested, and the low shower head was a struggle for a taller person like -
• Philippe (7/5): - Ce logement était idéalement placé pour nous pour rayonner dans le northland. Facile d'accès et pratique. Il faudrait augmenter le nombre de couverts et de verres disponibles dans le logement.
• Huynh Van (10/5): -
• Chiradee (8/5): -

• Hannah (6/5): -
• Lynette (9/5): - Close to everything, and clean, staff where friendly. Having to go.
• Stacey (6/5): Overall our stay was pleasant. - Clean and tidy unit, good sized kitchen with all essential cooking utensils, smart tv, ease of access to amenities, location. No air con, unable to use the swimming pool or spa while there.
• Gillian (5/5): Ok for the price - Clean and tidy, well situated for our travel plans The cleaning staff were hassling us to leave in the morning over an hour before check out time, one staff entered our room before we’d left.
• John (8/5): Budget Motel that still has all you need and importantly is clean and equiped with all you need. - For a very budget friendly Motel the room was very clean and tidy. The beds are comfortable and gave us a good nights sleep. The space in the lounge area includes a good size table and chairs. Very approachable staff who looked after all our needs during our 3 night stay. The shower is showing its age but it still works fine and has plenty of hot water.
• Jose (7/5): A good stay for two nights - The water from the shower is so good. The location is excellent, Walking distance to Pak n Save, McDonald, Mitre 10, The Warehouse and Gas Stations
• Dorothy (10/5): - Very clean with great facilities comfortable beds ,great location ,close to paknsave Noel Leemings The Warehouse and McDonald's with in walking distance from motel

• Leonid (8/5): -
• Rose (9/5): - The staff were lovely and welcoming, next to PakNSave and McDs. They had a pool we saw kids enjoying it. Nil
• Wrightie (7/5): - Close to supermarkets, this motor lodge is clean and tidy. The pool could've been a bit cleaner. The main bedroom was cramped, as it had both a double and a single bed in one small room.
• Sylvie (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix - Excellent accueil. Il faut aller discuter avec la personne de l’accueil qui est charmante et de bon conseil. Le motel « ne paye pas de mine » mais il est bien situé près des commodités. Il est bien équipé et calme.
• Elisabeth (8/5): -

• Thet Thet (9/5): Excellent stay - We like the convenient location close to shops n supermarkets Nothing to say
• Douglas (8/5): Besides the fridge not working and no one bothered to answer the buzzer..they live at the front of m - Our fridge wasn’t working..we pushed the buzzer numerous times and no one came..knocked on the door where room supplies were kept…person in there turned the light off and left through another door…not happy..had to throw kai out…drinks not cold..etc
• Elaine (8/5): -
• Fine (7/5): We needed somewhere to rest after a long day of work. This was a great place for it. - Location is handy. Rooms are nice and tidy, shower pressure is great. My colleague asked for more towels cause we had 2. It was booked for 3 people. Only 2 of us came to stay but of course we didn't ask for any refund. So, I don't know why you are questioning why we want more towels. I took about 5 mints this morning from the jar and the way she came out to look at the jar like I took all the mints :). If you want customers to take only one, put a sign by the jar.
• Andreas (8/5): -
• Losa (8/5): Overall it was nice and clean, beds were comfortable and we enjoyed our stay - Staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and beds very comfortable, close to supermarket and shops. We had the two bedroom apartment and it was spacious with self contained kitchen No power plugs in the bathroom for hairdryer etc and near the dresser in the bedroom, fridge was off on arrival pool was dirty and not able to use it
• Kire (6/5): - Handy to everything in Kaitia
• Haley (7/5): Fine for a night, but wouldn’t want to stay longer. - Close to supermarket When we arrived the fridge was unplugged, only one of the two fans worked and it was a really hot night. Kitchen drawers were jammed and we had to spend time unjamming them. There was a dog that was barking all afternoon, not enjoyable when you just want some peace and quiet. Pool didn’t look like it had been regularly cleaned.
• Claire (8/5): - Great location with good size rooms. The pool was an added bonus.
• estelle (5/5): Très passable. Qu’une envie c’était de quitter l’établissement. - La propreté. Le bruit du voisinage, la vieillesse de l’établissement. Les photos qui ne correspondent pas vraiment à la réalité du site. Aucun membre du personnel présent que ce soit à l’arrivée ou au départ .
• Anna (7/5): Basic motel, excellent value and very clean! Perfect for a one night stay - It was exceptionally clean and good value Very basic facilities but we expected this
