We stayed for one night. The self-contained accommodation is clean and has everything you need - including a good air conditioning unit and smart T.V. The buildings are old but have been renovated, and we appreciated the updated bathroom. The hotel I usually book for my family was not available due to a festival in Whangarei this weekend. We chose the Cheviot specifically for the swimming pool and were disappointed. The pool is small (the advertisement makes it look bigger) and it was closed the whole morning before check out at 10am.

Hi Anne,Thank you for your booking and taking the time to leave us a review!The Smart T.V's and the Air Conditioning have been a favorite of many guests lately :)We do find Whangarei in general will book up very quickly when there is an event on, so we were happy we were able to accommodate you and your family.We find that if people want a bigger pool, then we direct them when asked, to Whangarei's Aquatic center, as it has lane pools, a wave pool, a few hydroslides, kids pools and a gym on offer. Our pool is ideal for relaxing in rather then intense water play.

Entire house in Whangarei
Well located for the town, only a few minutes drive away. Close to main road making it easy to find but a bit of road noise at busy times. The separate 3 bedroom house we stayed in worked really well for us and was a way better option than a series of motel rooms.

Well run tidy clean property that we booked at short notice. Perfect for a 2 night getaway to Whangarei. Happy with the facilities - a tiny bit run down the cupboard faces and skirting boards need replacement - but that is just being picky. Comfortable bed and a good nights sleep there was some noise from the road and the helicopters going into the hospital. Overall happy with our choice

The room was ok - a real musty old smell was strong. We had a stray cat pop into our room overnight and eat some of our food. The staff did NOT service our room on our last evening, had to knock on reception door to get some towels for my family.

Response from Tim and Jan Hodgson on Jan 5, 2022
Hi Lorna, Thank you for your booking and taking the time to review our Motel. It is unfortunate that you had a stray cat visit we will be keeping an eye on things to make sure it doesn't bother anyone else. It may be that a neighbour who has left their pet home alone while they are away. As a general rule we don't advise Guests to leave their doors open at night. As far as the smell goes we are not sure what you are referring to as we cant identify what you have mentioned. The room seems fine to us and there has been no comment from guests currently staying with us. As you had stayed with us for three days we are surprised that you were not aware that you needed to request room service and new linen before the office closes for the night. The signs requesting rooms service can be used if you are leaving early for the day and otherwise should be used before 10AM as that is when our Staff are onsite. If the sign is set to "Do Not Disturb" we assume that you do not require anything. While we are happy to help after our cleaners have left It was fortunate for you that we were able to assist you after 9:30PM. We hope that you have a great holiday Please let us know if we can do anything for you. regards Tim and Jan Hodgson
