Kingswood Manor Motel
Well maintained rooms, it was clean and tidy fresh towels and face cloths daily. The staff were very polite. Would go back and stay there again worth the amount paid.

Distinction Whangarei Hotel & Conference Centre
Good location to walk around near the marina. Like most staff in Australia, they are not big on small talk. Our room, we had to keep the drapes closed because it was in a major walk-way. But it was a good room and we liked the queen sized beds. Restaurants close early on Sunday night so get in early ...

Quality Hotel Oceans Tutukaka
The pool is not heated so unless it is sunny for a number of days before, it is cool. The area around it looked weathered. Our room was ok but a bit tired. I didn't think it was worth the money I spent on it.
