Parking was limited weren't sure which was our park, went out and when we came back someone else was in the space that we thought was ours. Maybe put unit numbers on parks?

Booking was easy and contact made earlier as we were travelling advising room was ready and could be accessed earlier than expected if need be. Rooms were clean and all facilities functioned well. Water pressure great and plenty of hot water. Doors on cabinetry showing signs of age (sagging) but all functional. Would be happy to rebook if required in future. Arrived home after dark to find no park available close to ground level room. Numbered allocated parking for each room available would help. Breakfast inhouse not used as so many dining options available across the street and in surrounding streets. Shopping and dining options very handy.

Havelock North Motor Lodge is probably the best hotel of our current trip around New Zealand Great location , well furnished with everything you might need in a kitchen ( including scissors to open the pesky plasticized coffee sachets !) Best shower we have used so far/heat pump and Tv great too Parking and walkability to local restaurants was also a bonus Aaron and his wife run a great motel Highly recommended for Havelock North accommodation

We had the Manager ring us the morning we checked in to see what time we’d arrive and then pre-checked us in over the phone so we just needed to go straight to our room. We really appreciated that. The room was large and roomy but looked a little tired inside - although was clean. We enjoyed being walking distance to restaurants and cafes for eating out although we had a microwave in the room if we’d decided to eat in. I would stay there again.
