The room was exceptionally clean, spacious & nicely dark at night. Heat pump/air con in room. Location is excellent just a 5 minute drive to the city centre but you don’t have to drive as there are quite a few restaurants/takeaway places just a few metres away. Bit of street noise but not too bad.

This place is beautifully clean, amazing shower, comfortable bed. I wasn't disturbed by noise. There are light blocking curtains across the front of the studio, but light did come through the blind at the back. When i stayed it was really quiet i rented a room that had fridge, microwave, ironing board and iron. I would stay here again. Good value, very clean, felt safe. The entrance sign is a little obscured on Kamo Road, but is easy to find from the Kensington intersection. Turn on the road with the Kensington Tavern to access the property from the rear.

This was our first stay with this motel. We were very impressed. We were warmly welcomed after a horrendous drive up through a severe rainstorm. The hosts were very helpful. We stayed in a two bedroom unit and it was very spacious. The room was a wee bit dated but the hosts have recently installed many things such as new curtains, heatpumps etc. There was a well equipped kitchen, Sky TV, and a designated carpark for your unit. There was an outdoor pool which was splendid. Overall we loved our stay and we will return for sure.

Two nights at this very convenient motel. We had large studio, two rooms (double and single beds) and kitchen. Very hot when we arrived (hot days in Whangarei) but at night it was ok. No laundry service at the motel. Clean room, friendly hosts. Restaurants (very good Thai restaurant) within walking distance and shops (like New World) near by. When you visit Whangarei, we recommend to visit Hundertwasser Art Centre. There are many cafés and restaurant around the Centre - and interesting clock museum, too.
