Thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the spa or on the couch with a spectacular view. And the hosts were awesome, with some fantastic recommendations (topsail is a must do dining experience). "

### Aaron Court Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Although the motel dates probably from the mid 1980’s, it is clean, and comfortable, with a kitchen comprising of an electric stove top, microwave, toaster, kettle and fridge. All were in excellent condition, and the property is well maintained. Whilst we did not use the pool, it looked clean and inviting. There are only 12 units, in a quiet street only 5 mins walk from a New World and Woolworths, with some excellent cafes close by, and a short walk to the Harbourside area and town. Highly recommend for the price and would definitely stay again"

### Bella Vista Motel Whangarei

10/10 Excellent

"Located a little outside the centre, it was easy to find. Big car park, big room with everything we needed. Everything was clean & new looking. We enjoyed Whangarei, there was a regatta & a vintage car gathering (apparently every fortnight at one of the cafe carparks)."
