Whangarei Hotel Guide. Hotels in Kensington, Whangarei, New Zealand

"Room was absolutely fabulous. Slthough we would have been grateful for full size curtains or black out blind. Staff were extremely kind and generous. out "

"Poor wifi, no soap in one of the bathrooms, dirty washer /dryer with no washing powder. Restaurant closed for dinner, reception closed at night so we could not report the rowdy crowd having a party until 3:00 am. "

"This hotel is tired and dated. Whilst the staff make every effort to be great hosts the whole venue lacks any wow factor. The walls are damaged and marked - rips out of wallpaper. There are no lifts so you can expect to carry your own luggage up the stairs. My bathroom was full of hair when I arrived, I asked for it to be cleaned. The manager sent the trainee from the restaurant up to clean with a microfibre cloth - at 10pm they arrived with a vacuum. Dinner was a shambles - ordered a Medium Rare steak - it was medium well, served with YELLOW broccoli and 'bubble n squeak' was mash with cabbage mixed through. To compensate for the state of my room I was offered breakfast complementary - declined. Beds are comfortable, showers need a deep clean to remove all the mold from the edges. Disappointing venue and should not carry the Distinction Branding - no comparison to Christchurch. Management should invest in the whole venue. Expensive accomodation for what received"

"Clean, fairly basic lodgings. Staff very pleasant and helpful in manually checking me in due to issue with Expedia's booking system."

"Clean and tidy "

"Comfy and clean, but reno of room was poor"

"Room was modern, clean and comfortable. Good location in centre of town. HINT make sure you specify parking requirements, basement car park has limited spaces and they are quite tight."

"Very courteous and helpful staff. Clean and well looked after."

"Had a lovely stay here with my fur baby. The house was immaculately clean and well presented. The covered deck was really great and I spent most of the time I was there sitting out there. The beach is just a very short walk thru the reserve and is absolutely stunning. We had some good swims and walks. The facilities in the house were good. Lounge is very comfy and welcoming. Lots of outdoor furniture to while away the time on. Thanks very much Carrie. "
