Great sized rooms and very clean for the age of this property. Amenities were all there in the room. We were in the roadside room and it was a little bit noisy but then we do live out in the country! Would definitely stay again. Thank you 🙂 ##### Ruth Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The motel was clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Old motel upgraded and comfortable. Nowhere to hang clothes, should this be important. Pleased had electric blanket. Suggestion - check "dodgy" connections at wall and temperature control. Stove had switch not working. Not an issue for me. Good Wifi Would stay again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### jeremy Jan 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Établissement vieux mais très bien entretenu.

Not that i minded as it probably came in through the window id imagine. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller May 28, 2021 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities If you have business at Whangarei Hospital, the location of this property is perfect, just a 5 min drive down the road. However, the property is very dated, cleanish but in dire need of some TLC. Some of the amenities did not work...eg a wall heater in lounge. The stove in the kitchen needed a really good scrub as did some surfaces.The water pressure is very poor and the temperature of the hot water is minimal. Its shame really because the location is so great. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ricardo May 13, 2021 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not again Older building. Room is spacious but the furniture is quite worn. Some noise from the road next to the building and also from the emergency service helicopters which probably fly to the nearby Whangarei Hospital. Because I was still sitting in the car outside my room after check out, I could see through the open door that my bed had been made again, but the sheets had not been changed. However, I don't want to exclude the possibility of a mistake regarding the length of my stay, despite the very manageable number of rooms... ##### Ricardo Stayed 1 night in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 14, 2021 Liked: Staff & service Very helpful for late check in which was great as was at hospital. Very close to hospital which was awesome. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Josh was friendly and on to it.

We purposefully chose Villa del rio for the pool but unfortunately we didnt get any free time to use it. It looked great. Our host was friendly, informative and that helps when travelling a long way from home. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kath, Halswell Jan 1, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities How close it was to our griends and family.
