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.
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 is a lovely house-hotel place. You are sharing this house with other traveling guests, so some socializing would be going on if you stay here for more than one day. The rooms are cozy with comfortable beds. There was a small TV and plug-in electric heater provided. There are a couple of bathrooms to be shared and a homey kitchen. The host was very kind and communicative. The price was very fair as accommodations vary in this northern section of New Zealand.
Probably the best motel we've stayed in, it's a shame we didn't get to spend too much time at the motel as we were busy seeing family, but in the evenings we spent there were pleasant. The a/c was nice and cold when we got back and beds were comfortable. Shower pressure was good and had everything we needed for the weekend we stayed there. Will definitely be returning to Chevoit lodge the next time we stay in Whangarei.
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.
Couldn't recommend this accommodation more! Becks was so lovely to deal with, with clear communication, and very accommodating to our requests! The accommodation was perfectly clean (I have high standards too)! Bed extremely comfortable. Just wish we could have stayed longer. Location very central as well, only a couple minutes drive to main city centre. Thank you Becks for a perfect stay.
B & B is quite close to Whangarei Fall and walkway there. 10 min drive from town basin. this make it very quiet and escapes from city noises. High standard decoration and top quality facilities make every customer happy and enjoyable. Hosts are so friendly and helpful. beautiful enviroment fill up different trres and flowers which embrace your rooms. absolutely valuable with the price.
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.
Excellent customer service from before arrival, calling to check on booking/arrival, to accommodating extra requests like breakfast outside of the service times and extra cot for young child. Attentive, friendly, courteous and amenable. Rooms serviced well. After-care upon checking out was also excellent.
Ralph absolutely saved me as I struggled to find accommodation in Whangārei at the last minute! I had been stitched up by my original hotel and thankfully Ralph was welcoming and helpful. Easy to find location, a comfortable bed and gorgeous view from the rooms.
No breakfast but will next time. A most enjoyable stay and will stay again next time in Whangarei. Very friendly staff and please convey to cleaners of the amazing job they do.
10 out of 10 Pembrooke Motel and thank you 👍👍👍
Beautiful spot, very clean, peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful garden. Separate sitting area was most welcomed. Beds were very comfortable. Hosts were very responsive to all queries and requests, Highly recommend. Thank you!
Always a comfortable stay. The cool warehouse style apartment is bigger than your average motel room,
My base for work in Whangarei.
Thankyou Julie and Mike for having me again, I look forward to it again.
The breakfast was excellent and a highlight of our trip. It was great to be able to eat at the same location. The lodge was lovely. It felt far more relaxed and homely than staying at a hotel or motel.
excellent location and value for money. Customer service is very good and really nice to have separate lounge area from the bedrooms you don’t really get that option in a lot of other motels/hotels.
Excellent location, excellent price for airbnb quality. We rather stayed 3 weeks here than stay shorter in a more expensive hotel. If coming again, definitely my first choice.
