Top Whangarei Hotel Reviews

Kingswood Manor Motel

8/10 Good

"For what we needed, the accommodation was very pleasing."

Quest Whangarei

2/10 Terrible

"Please don’t book this hotel until you have confirmed parking. I was made to park outside farmers and then walk through farmers with all my bags to enter the hotel. I came back late after a work function and again had to park in a dark carpark outside farmers, walk over 300m down a dark alley to access the hotel. I would not want any of my female collages to be in this situation. Parking is limited and was full. Also you had to re pay and display at 8am so no lie in if that was your plan!"

Lodge Bordeaux

8/10 Good

"My stay started out perfectly great — everything lovely. The owners were super-friendly at check‑in, and everything seemed lovely. I was going through a rough time, checked out early, and accidentally left a few things behind, including the key. When I came back the next day, they’d kindly packed everything into a bag for me. Great. And then the vibe did a full 180. The same owner who’d been warm when I checked in suddenly looked at me like I’d dragged a body across the carpet instead of accidentally leaving a key behind. The friendliness evaporated. The judgment was thick enough to cut with a butter knife. It was such a sharp, icy shift that the whole place instantly felt… off. I go away for privacy, not to be silently assessed like I’ve broken some unspoken motel commandment. It’s amazing how fast a perfectly ordinary stay can tilt into “is this where the horror movie starts?” territory. One minute it’s a pleasant little spot, the next minute you’re wondering if you should back away slowly and avoid any showers with see‑through curtains. The accommodation itself was lovely but that sudden personality switch was pure Norman Bates energy. A key return shouldn’t feel like the prelude to a thriller, yet here we are. Small town New Zealand and no understanding of privacy."
