Loved the Riverside restaurants and playground area.
Loved the Riverside restaurants and playground area. The Hunderwaisser museum was good too. The walk along the river on a good day and arty house and crafts in shops are delightful. Whangarei city is nice to investigate the many stores and restaurants some up little alley ways. Great coffee and breakfasts there too. It's a lovely city I've visited many times.

Your ID will probably be checked at least once by police.
Large selection of food places.
Apart from Hundertwasser Art Centre, Whangarei Museum, the alternative Quarry Art Centre and the Waterfalls, check out town has anything else you need or are interested in… a quiet town otherwise!

The place is pretty by the marina with shops and restaurants, but! Due to circumstances missed the lunch/dinner hours for eating out. All (yes all on the waterfront) restaurants only offer bar snacks during other hours. EG fries, squid rings etc. We wanted something more substantial. Many people were walking away when they found that out. This is a tourist spot for pities sake!
We had had a long drive and were starving!
Also no really nice accommodation. Best I found was 3 1/2 star Distinction Hotel which has good bones but was really tired needing a major makeover. Stained carpet, wall paper peeling off. I am a kiwi and embarrassed that this tourist spot has sat on its laurels. I know people struggling with covid etc but wouldn’t you want to do everything in your power to make your place more desirable. My view - if you don’t have to stop don’t 😡

Pembrooke was across the road from a lovely inner city bush. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the birdsong. Supermarkets and eats were close enough.
We didn't have enough time to visit places though we know there are great places to visit.

We only stayed for one night so we managed to get down to the marina and see the cool ball-clock and the Hundertwasser (which is amazing) and have an awesome lunch (so many places to pick from!). Next time we go to Whangarei we will be sure to do the loop walk which sounds very interesting indeed!

We went with the kids to aquatic centre, flip out, action zone and the heritage park. Very good family entertainment and easy to drive from place to place. The motel is very close to supermarkets and various eateries. Good location.
We always stay at this accommodation when visiting or passing through Whangarei.
The Hotel is just beautiful with a large restaurant area, wonderful views, quiet, very spacious rooms and bathroom with a bath, free on site parking and free very good internet.
We dined at the restaurant, both had the snapper fish main which was delicious, very fresh and a generous portion.
Would highly recommend.
Couldn't recommend this accommodation more! Becks was so lovely to deal with, with clear communication, and very accommodating to our requests! The accommodation was perfectly clean (I have high standards too)! Bed extremely comfortable. Just wish we could have stayed longer. Location very central as well, only a couple minutes drive to main city centre. Thank you Becks for a perfect stay.
Cafe and restaurant food had good selections. Location of hotel from the airport and into Whangarei was easy to access. Great friendly staff from reception, restaurant and cleaning. Older style hotel but had everything you required and plenty of room. Great sitting on the restaurant deck in the sun having a drink and bite to eat.
It is an older hotel, The bathroom was spotless, and large, The room itself was big with a balcony overlooking the marina. The staff in the restaurant were young and in training, they were excellent. Well done to the hotel for employing young locals and training them well. Room service breakfast was good. I would stay again.
A terrific welcome awaited me at School Lane! This was an ideal base for my stay in Whangarei as it was nice and close to town, buses, the town basin and shops. I walked everywhere as it is so convenient. Thank you so much for having me to stay in your lovely character filled home - such a comfortable B and B.
Everything is easy. We were able to drive straight to our room. The key was there and when we left we could leave the key in the box by the door. We have stayed at the Continental numerous times and it is the best valued motel in the area. Thank you. We will see you next time
Love the room and bed. Breakfast was standard hotel fare but fresh and acceptable. Dinners from menu were fine and service was ok. Most staff are young and in need of a bit of experience. However, they were always trying to do their best and were very polite.
The location to the venue we were attending. Tidy on the outside .It was clean except for one of the quilts that looked like it had been chucked on.It was cheap enough considering it is so old and dated it was straight out of a Jack Reacher Novel
The owners of the motel were very friendly and helped with a parking space that exceeded the length of a car.
The beds were comfy and the location was very central to Whangarei township. We will definitely stay again in the future.
We have always stayed at the Grand Hotel when travelling between Auckland and the Far North and have always found it real accommodating. We even recommend it to our whanau. On this occasion it was not the best.
Always a comfortable stay. The cool warehouse style apartment is bigger than your average motel room,
My base for work in Whangarei.
Thankyou Julie and Mike for having me again, I look forward to it again.
Such a cute little cabin :) And the bed was super comfy, best sleep i've had in a while lol. The host was also super lovely and attentive. Can't wait for my next trip to Whangarei, will definitely be back!
A huge studio, fresh/cosy feel. A+ bed and crips white bedding. Exceptionally clean and minimalist with furniture of good taste. Superb location. I will only use this motel now when in Whangarei.
This was a budget motel, but the apartment was exceptionally clean. Staff were very helpful and location was fairly close to town centre. Have no complaints.
