Located a little outside the centre, it was easy to find. Big car park, big room with everything we needed. Everything was clean & new looking. We enjoyed Whangarei, there was a regatta & a vintage car gathering (apparently every fortnight at one of the cafe carparks).

This property was easy to find, close to downtown and very easy parking included. We had a rental car and were touring around the island and needed a safe room, a shower and comfortable beds. The room was decorated nice and the manager was very helpful We wouldn't arrive until late (driving is slow on the NZ winding roads) and let them know and they arranged our key pickup. The room was decorated colorfully. The beds were comfortable, there was a microwave and mini-fridge. We stayed there our last night in NZ and packed up and headed to the airport later that day. Great little motel.
