Great location with plenty of dining options nearby, and this historic city is truly uncrowded. The seaside is beautiful. The two-bedroom room is ideal for a family of four, but the two single beds are ridiculously narrow—about the width of a beauty salon massage table, haha! Everything else was pretty good.

The room was clean and spacious, and there was a large garden outside the window, which could be opened. The hotel is at the northernmost end of Danidine, with a beautiful environment and free parking, but a bit far from the city center, about 2km, need to drive out, we parked the car in the supermarket parking lot in the city center, free parking for 90 minutes.

It seems to be the only hotel in Whangarei. The location is fantastic, right across from the famous Hundertwasser Art Centre and within walking distance. The breakfast is just a standard Western breakfast, so don't expect too much. The lighting control in the room is the most frustrating part—there are only two settings for the whole room: either super bright (basically all lights on) or just two blindingly bright bedside lights. As for the bathroom, it's on a single switch operating both the light and the extractor fan, so if you want to leave a light on at night, you have to put up with the noise.

Room was little, barely enough space to open a suitcase. Worst of all, despite AC blowing very hot air it was all escaping through front doors. Insulation was nonexistant. My room had 14C degrees when I woke up. Not recommended.

Not too far from the city centre. Old-fashioned hotel, colonial style, very clean, the waiter is also different from the general kiwi's easygoing, more professional sense of the upper class. On Saturday, I caught up with the downstairs cocktail party, and the various classic cars at the door roared for a while. The hotel's western restaurant is good. There is no anti-slip mat in the bathroom, leaving a note that the hotel hopes to add to future customers.

The only problem we had was the room was double booked for what ever reason . We require a refund for the second room  as it was cancelled by the Coachman.
