Just got back from a trip through Whangarei, two families travelling together. We choose this Motel with delightful, helpful management, clean, comfortable, modern decor. And free wifi to boot. We had a family room for the others with 2 children, and a queen side room for ourselves. Close proximty,to eateries, on the main street, but very peaceful sleep. Only drawback,... More

This motel was perfect for our overnight stay on our way back from Cape Reinga to Auckland. We were not interested in Whangarei itself, so it was in the perfect location near the main road. As always with Bella Vista Motels, it was a pleasant stay with everything we needed. Really liked the free internet access. Would stay there again... More

We stayed here for a single night. It was everything we wanted. It was clean, and quiet (even though it is near a main road). The new owners were helpful with directions and recommendations. A good place to rest for the night, but not for a long stay.

This is a good, clean, budget motel. It's about 15 minutes walk to the shopping/dining area. Our room had a nice bathroom with spa bath and separate shower. We were able to borrow a DVD player from the owner. Would probably stay here again if in the area.

This is a budget motel with no pretensions to be anything else. The bed in the room we had was very comfortable. The shower was excellent. The motel is new and very well maintained.

Stayed for two nights in May 2011, short walk in to town, owner very helpfull and friendly, room was very clean and modern with all mod cons and good internet connection, although motel is on a main road, road noise was not an issue and was easy to find with good parking. Would highly recommend this motel and the only... More

We arrived here late on a Sunday afternoon and, after checking in and finding that there were only take aways within walking distance, we drove into town to find a meal. Unfortunately it appeared that Whangarei was closed so we still ended up with a burger. This motel served its purpose for us as a one night stopover on the... More
