Loved the Riverside restaurants and playground area.
Loved the Riverside restaurants and playground area. The Hunderwaisser museum was good too. The walk along the river on a good day and arty house and crafts in shops are delightful. Whangarei city is nice to investigate the many stores and restaurants some up little alley ways. Great coffee and breakfasts there too. It's a lovely city I've visited many times.

Your ID will probably be checked at least once by police.
Large selection of food places.
Apart from Hundertwasser Art Centre, Whangarei Museum, the alternative Quarry Art Centre and the Waterfalls, check out town has anything else you need or are interested in… a quiet town otherwise!

The place is pretty by the marina with shops and restaurants, but! Due to circumstances missed the lunch/dinner hours for eating out. All (yes all on the waterfront) restaurants only offer bar snacks during other hours. EG fries, squid rings etc. We wanted something more substantial. Many people were walking away when they found that out. This is a tourist spot for pities sake!
We had had a long drive and were starving!
Also no really nice accommodation. Best I found was 3 1/2 star Distinction Hotel which has good bones but was really tired needing a major makeover. Stained carpet, wall paper peeling off. I am a kiwi and embarrassed that this tourist spot has sat on its laurels. I know people struggling with covid etc but wouldn’t you want to do everything in your power to make your place more desirable. My view - if you don’t have to stop don’t 😡

Pembrooke was across the road from a lovely inner city bush. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the birdsong. Supermarkets and eats were close enough.
We didn't have enough time to visit places though we know there are great places to visit.

We only stayed for one night so we managed to get down to the marina and see the cool ball-clock and the Hundertwasser (which is amazing) and have an awesome lunch (so many places to pick from!). Next time we go to Whangarei we will be sure to do the loop walk which sounds very interesting indeed!

We went with the kids to aquatic centre, flip out, action zone and the heritage park. Very good family entertainment and easy to drive from place to place. The motel is very close to supermarkets and various eateries. Good location.
This place is a hostal at best. photo looks good but that’s it. it should not be called a residential villa. there are 2 bathrooms but they are community bathrooms. our bedroom is at the attic with no windows. don’t stay there unless you are expecting a hostal. I have much better hostals before, even in China. we didn’t stay because we couldn’t. we paid for the first night. we cancel the 2nd night. community kitchen is just not to the standard. sorry. it’s my fault, I should ask more questions. next time I’ll do better.
For our purposes being close to the Kensington Private Hospital and a good range of nearby take-away food outlets the motel was in an ideal location.
The friendliness of the proprietors, Gordon and Heather, and regular staff was also appreciated.
We resolved to use the motel again even if overnight stays in Whangarei were necessary for appointments at either Kensington Private or Whangarei Public Hospitals.
We enjoyed our stay at home away airbnb it really is a home away from home! It is in a lovely quiet area of whangarei very handy to town and other amenities close by. We were made to feel very welcome even our fur baby was welcomed with doggy treats . So happy to be able to travel and stay somewhere safe with our pet. Thank you to our hosts.
Enjoyed our stay here - comfortable rooms, great service and good location (quick 5 min drive into town centre). Generally well equipped and facilities were clean (some parts were a bit older-looking, but still very much did the job!). Also learnt that this motel is pretty much on the opposite side of the globe from the real Casablanca haha!
A terrific welcome awaited me at School Lane! This was an ideal base for my stay in Whangarei as it was nice and close to town, buses, the town basin and shops. I walked everywhere as it is so convenient. Thank you so much for having me to stay in your lovely character filled home - such a comfortable B and B.
This is the best motel in Whangarei. The rooms are decorated to the highest standard with a French theme. There are nice luxuries like dressing gowns, well stocked mini bar, breakfast in bed. Everything is extremely clean and the bed so comfy.
We will not be staying anywhere else!
Clean , bedding smelled fresh,pillows smelled clean . we had just come from and air bnb in Whau Valley Whangarei and the bedding on my bed smelt heavily of sweat. NOT SO AT KENSINGTON MOTELS.Basic motel just super clean plenty of towels very friendly owners. thankyou.
Very suprised at how quiet the room was, considering the property being on a main road and the lodge being full. Great room with good facilities. Price was really good. Will definitely return when needing a place to stay in Whangarei.
The motel proprietors were very helpful and gave a lift to and from the airport. That was much appreciated.
The motel was a short walk from the Hundertwasser Gallery which was the main point of our visit to Whangarei.
Last minute booking and the place met all our expectations and needs. Had one of the best nights sleep during our trip to New Zealand. Grocery & liquor stores, and a wonderful Thai restaurant within walking distance
Our room was very comfortable and clean. Nicely appointed kitchen. Fresh towels each day. The motel was very close to town and restaurants.
The plug in the bathroom wasn’t working and this was fixed immediately.
The room and view were beautiful and very comfortable. Very well maintained and great facilities also handy to town and walking "the loop" of the Whangarei town basin. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.
