Distinction Whangarei Hotel & Conference Centre, hotel in Whangarei

Boasting an indoor pool, fitness center and a hot tub, Distinction Hotel Whangarei is located opposite Hatea River. Free WiFi and parking are available as well as a 24-hour front desk.

Wonderful and freshly decoreated rooms, but the overall hotel / hallways and common areas in dire need of refurbishment. Comfy and clean and our room though. Spacious car-park etc. The rooms were also quite spacious and had all you need. Nice location, close to city center and quiet/calm (a nice walk over bridge to Hundertwasser museum). The kids loved the pancake machine for breakfast.

Grand Hotel - Whangarei, hotel in Whangarei

Located in Whangarei and with Northland Event Centre reachable within a 16-minute walk, Grand Hotel - Whangarei has a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar.

The Grand Hotel has seen much better days, but the room was clean and the hotel's location within walking distance to shops, restaurants and tourist attractions makes it an ideal location. It was good enough for the Queen, who stayed there with her husband 71 years ago.

    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.

    People/salespersons are usually pleasant and helpful.

    People/salespersons are usually pleasant and helpful. 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.

    The concept of the Grand is awesome with so much potential original nostalgia. But you check in at the pub!!! Room had broken door handles and grout hanging off the walls, bad repair on the cracked sink(definitely worth saving and not replacing with crappy modern sink). The repairs are horrid, and take away from such a beautiful hotel under the dirt, and bad workmanship. Not thought through at all. The nostalgia of staying in the old Grand was great, and staff tried hard to make it good. Pity such a potential is wasted

    Charming old hotel in the heart of Whangarei, with ample surrounding services including an in-house Thai restaurant and bar, and a little Italian eatery just across the road. The staff were friendly, efficient, and very helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was awesome. A busy nightlife outside your window, including a train track, but once the windows are down we never heard a thing. Highly recommend it for such an affordable price.

    Full of all sorts of things as it is treated as a home, although tidier and a much better view than mine. To answer some of the questions I had going in... Airport noise is minimal, during the three days I was there I faintly heard two planes. It is only the top and bottom which can be separated off so for a solo traveler you can get the three bedroom top layer to yourself so it is very much worth the money. I would love to stay again when I'm in Whangarei next.

    For our purposes being close to the Kensington Private Hospital and a good range of nearby take-away food outlets the motel was in an ideal location. The friendliness of the proprietors, Gordon and Heather, and regular staff was also appreciated. We resolved to use the motel again even if overnight stays in Whangarei were necessary for appointments at either Kensington Private or Whangarei Public Hospitals.

    We picked the Quest due to its central location in Whangarei which made it easy to walk around town. The staff were friendly enough and the room was a decent size and clean. There is secure on-site car parking under the building for a price, but be aware that spaces are limited and it's quite tight. There is amazing urban art in Whangerei which was an pleasant surprise and totally unexpected.

    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.

    The motel is an easy 15 minute flat walk to/from the CBD. Clean white bed linen and towels. Manager helpful and cleaning staff delightful - happy, friendly and helpful. Room was a decent size with a small balcony. The shower was old style with separate hot and cold taps, but it was the best we've had all trip.

    Excellent customer service from before arrival, calling to check on booking/arrival, to accommodating extra requests like breakfast outside of the service times and extra cot for young child. Attentive, friendly, courteous and amenable. Rooms serviced well. After-care upon checking out was also excellent.

    Nancy’s home is lovely! She has though of everything to make travelers feel welcome and comfortable. My spacious room had a view of the garden, a terrace, an ensuite bath with even a towel warmer. And her kitchen was fully supplied! My best stay so far in New Zealand…you won’t be sorry!

    Nice large room, friendly staff, good parking and good beds. The location is excellent. The town center (Town Basin) is just a 15 minute walk, and two supermarkets are about next door. Whangarei also turned out to be more interesting than we had expected.
