The room, bed and cleanliness were excellent but … (next paragraph) We loved the location and balcony room with marina view but we certainly paid the extra to get that. Good sized room! Good selection of tea and coffee etc! Location to the good restaurants in Whangarei were a plus, walking distance. Staff friendly on arrival and check out.

Eveleen

Hotel is very well located with view across the Boat Harbour and short walk to the new Hundertwasser Art Centre which was the main reason for our visit to Whangarei. Also close to a number of good restaurants. Room large and comfortable and continental breakfast at Hotel was excellent.

Alan

We liked the location close to town. Any staff we spoke to were very polite, kind and helpful. The room was good but the curtains were not great, and the view out the window was not good, and at least the lawns could have been mowed! Otherwise everything was good.

Cheryl

Great location central to city and eating places. We had booked a double room for 3 people and were pleasantly surprised they put us in a triple room. Beds were lovely and comfy room was spacious with lots of storage and a bath!!
