Motel was very Clean - except from that it is all down hill - Booked from display on the Motels web site. observed their displayed price- never dreamed there would be a $15.00 surcharge for my wife. we slept in the same bed - so I guess the surcharge was for her towel and squirt of soap. Smoke alarm was... More

Stayed at motel for just the night because it was close to work function. Wouldn't stay there again our room was tired-does need some work. Lots of children running around motel (think it was some kind of sports day in Whangarei). Children kicking balls around car park by cars, by motel rooms against wall & knocking on our room doors...

Really lovely place to stay.. The cat is really cool too!! It's a very handy location and easy to find. The owner/manager was very pleasant. It was good value and I'm not sure what some people expect for their money. $120 per night for 2 adults and 2 children is excellent in this day and age..

No time to use the pool unfortunaltely. Nice helpful owners. The motel is a little dated and with a few... More

Spacious grounds for kids to run around, nice pool, BBQ, trampoline etc. Traffic noise was minimal and it was a peaceful two nights we spent there. After experiencing three other (noisy) Motels in Whangarei, we found the Sierra to be... More

Very clean older style motel with good facilities that was comfortable and reasonably priced. Helpful and welcoming at reception with very friendly felines also, who are not at all intrusive but certainly welcome attention if you would like to give it.
