Distinction Whangarei Hotel & Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay! Thoroughly enjoyed our short weekend away ✨ Will definitely be coming back here again"

Continental Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a party of 4 and were in Room 1 which had 2 single beds in the bedroom and a queen bed in the lounge so was perfect for our group. Room 1 has its own parking space away from the others so no problem there. The main car-parks are normal size, the issue is the size of the vehicle using them ... when everyone has an SUV ... then yes, car-parking is tight. The rooms were spotless and quite spacious so we never felt claustrophobic. Big bathroom allowed for plenty of room to change and the shower itself was very roomy. The modern kitchen had a full size stove, microwave and fridge. Plenty of power points. They have a good size swimming pool and spa pool. Fantastic location as shops, restaurants and supermarkets all within easy walking distance. Hosts were lovely and accommodating as we had an after hours check in. They have 2 beautiful rag-doll cats which are good for cuddles while you wait in reception. Would most definitely stay there again."
