Hotel berhampiran Whangarei Growers Market, Whangarei

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.

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.

Here for work with Fulton Hogan the kitchen/wait staff here are absolutely amazing so friendly helpful and catering to specific needs always willing to go the extra mile for you I highly recommend, they even take the time to get to know you a little a look after you Pau has been the most friendly and helpful person nothing is ever to much for her to help out with

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.

Clean very good beds good location

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.

Ini dalam perjalanan ke sana. Apabila kami tiba, kami bertemu kakitangan yang ramah dan persekitaran yang bersih, biliknya luas dan pemandangan marina yang menakjubkan, tidak lupa juga pasar Twilight tutukaka dengan suasana dan bunyi yang hebat. Ia adalah hari yang panas jadi malangnya apabila kami kembali ke bilik kami yang juga sangat panas dan tiada penghawa dingin, kami mempunyai tingkap susun yang hebat dan kipas di siling tetapi ia tidak sepadan dengan kehangatan yang kami alami hari itu. Oleh itu, pergi ke kolam renang luaran premis nampaknya seperti perkara yang logik untuk dilakukan apabila tiba, kami mendapati kolam klorin air masin yang hebat dan Pahutakawa yang indah hanya menunggu untuk berbunga. Tidak boleh meletakkan banyak salah dengan tempat ini saya akan menjaminnya kepada rakan-rakan terima kasih kawan-kawan, penginapan yang bagus

Stayed at the Pacific Rendezvous for two nights in February – specifically due to the ratings and vicinity of Dive Tutukaka. Ian helped me at check-in and was extremely friendly and helpful! He provided a local map and details on the area, hikes, restaurants, etc. There is a small store connected to the reception desk where you can purchase snacks, beverages, etc. You can also rent a beach towel if needed. The place is very cozy and clean. I stayed in a studio, which had ocean views from the back patio on the main level and the bedroom upstairs. It’s similar to a duplex and unit is individually owned and managed by Ian and Susan. The units are self-accommodating. The unit does have wifi although it continuously cut in and out for me. The unit I stayed in had AC on the main level but not upstairs, which was exceptionally hot. Location-wise – it’s pretty secluded and VERY relaxing and quiet. In that aspect, I’d give it 5 stars. On the other end of the spectrum, it is not walkable if you want to be within walking distance of a shops/stores, etc. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe. There are a few ocean hikes/areas that are private to Pacific Rendezvous – Harbour Beach and Ocean Beach. I already planned to hike Whale Bay and Matapouri Bay, which were a short drive away otherwise I would have explored these two beaches. There is an onsite pool, playground area, tennis court, game room, laundry room, etc. The only reason I gave it 4 stars (would have given it 4.5 if that was an option) was the AC. There was a fan in the closet, but it was rusty/dusty so did not use it. That said, I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely stay again. The views and ocean sounds are the absolute best if you are looking for some quiet and relaxation.
