Hotel terbaik di Parua Bay

After a day of hitting some art spots at Whangārei, our family of two adults and a teen pulled into the Kauri Villas late in the afternoon. The first thing you'll notice is the amazing view of the coast. We were greeted by out hosts Andrea and Mike, and shown to our cottage, which was cute and clean. It was a Monday, and our hosts informed us that most of the local restaurants would be closed (it was also the off-season). Luckily, the cottage had a fully equipped kitchen, and the nearest grocery was 2 minutes down the road. The cottage even had a dishwasher, a real gem for any traveling cooks. That evening we helped ourselves to a hot tub/ jacuzzi and played some billiards in their ”gameroom,” which is really more of a beautiful bespoke barn with a sound system, nice lighting, and everything from ping pong to video games. We had a perfect family game night without leaving the property. We started off our first morning with a great breakfast cooked by Mike, and then used the villas as our home-base for hitting some of the great local hikes. On our second and last morning, we mentioned to Mike our fondness for the sheep that we could see from our bedroom window, and Mike offered to let us hand-feed them! As animal lovers, it as a treat to hand feed some adorable sheep that put up with us petting them. As travelers from the USA, a return to the Kauri Villas is probably not in the cards any time soon, but I would highly recommend this spot for both a quick vacation, or special event like a wedding where you want a fantastic location to celebrate. Great space, great hosts.

Felt like I was in Fiji but colder! Great resort, rooms are spacious and comfortable and the restaurant food is fantastic. We also used a conference room, which was suitable for our purposes and the catering was great.

We stayed here 2 nights, once on our way north and secondly on our return south. On the way north our first room was over looking the Marina fronting the road. A little noisy but okay. Unfortunately, we had to call the management as the entrance was atrocious, leaves etc all over the carpet and stairs, there was a dead tree in a pot at the top and our room had not been cleaned properly. They were very good, Dulcie came immediately and cleaned and made the bed properly. She also called maintenance to tighten the toilet seat. There was nothing she could do about the stain in the bathroom sink though. She explained that they had been short staffed due to Covid and quality inspections had not been done. As we had booked another night for our return trip, Dulcie went to reservations and ordered a newly renovated room in another quieter part of the hotel. This room we stayed in on our return journey was much better and the same price. It was very clean and had much better furniture and overlooked the courtyard. Nice comfortable bed too with new pillows, a very large mirror and tv. They are still renovating that wing but it didn’t disturb us. Very helpful friendly staff. There is a restaurant but we can’t comment as we didn’t dine there. Good amount of parking.

Room was little, barely enough space to open a suitcase. Worst of all, despite AC blowing very hot air it was all escaping through front doors. Insulation was nonexistant. My room had 14C degrees when I woke up. Not recommended.

Di hotel motel, peralatan tempat tidur sangat bersih, semua aspek adalah ok, tetapi harganya cukup bagus, pada dasarnya memenuhi keperluan. Tempat letak kereta yang mudah dan berbaloi untuk wang.

Was an ok stay for one night slightly higher pricing and the mattresses were a bit past so not a good sleep unfortunately then we were rudely awoken by someone bashing on our door and didn't stop til we opened it only to go sorry wrong room this was at 7am unfortunately we left before open hours of the office or we would have asked for a partial refund on our stay

The hosts Jennie and Peter were very approachable and knowledgeable. They went the extra mile to make me feel welcome and looked after. The motel is close to a New World and a Countdown, the Octagon Theatre which offers excellent theatre and dinner deals, one of Whangarei's favourite restaurants Suk Jai Thai restaurant, bus stops, and many cafes. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

What a lucky find. First time in Whangarei and this place is a home away from home. Great walking location with major supermarket next door. This place is super clean,fabulous kitchen with fabulous gas oven,very comfortable tv lounge.Good comfortable bed and strong hot shower. Nothing to complain about here and most of all the hosts Selina and Jackson are delightful. I will be back.
