    I recently stayed at this hotel and was pleasantly surprised! The location was fantastic, with plenty of nearby restaurants and cafes. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the room was equipped with everything I needed, including free wi-fi and flat-screen TV. Plus, the seasonal outdoor pool was a nice bonus on a warm day.

    I highly recommend staying at this venue. The housekeeping was exceptional and the room amenities, like the electric kettle and cookware, were helpful for a comfortable stay.

    I had a fantastic stay at a comfortable, older style motel. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The unit was spotless and well-maintained, with high-quality sheets and towels. I especially loved the little touches like the words in different languages. Although the shower was a bit small, it didn't take away from the overall positive experience. The motel had a convenient location, within walking distance to restaurants and a short drive to supermarkets. I highly recommend this motel for a comfortable and pleasant stay.

    I was upgraded to a good value for money and brand-new room with all main requirements for a non cooking unit. The location turned out to be convenient, not far from different food establishments, the local tavern which served great food and nice restaurants.

    The Kensington Motel in Whangarei exceeded our expectations in so many ways. the location was incredibly convenient with everything we needed just a stone's throw away - from food options to a grocery store and petrol station. Secondly, the room itself was impeccably clean, airy, and warm, providing us with all the comforts we desired. The attention to detail was fantastic, with a fully equipped kitchen boasting all the necessary utensils and facilities for our stay. Additionally, the staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We were especially touched by their willingness to accommodate our last-minute addition of our young grand daughter, making her stay with us a delight. We travel frequently to Whangarei, and this hotel will definitely be our go-to option from now on.

    All in all, our experience at this hotel was flawless.

    We loved the central location of this hotel, making it easy to explore all the sights and sounds of the town. We were impressed with the ample and well-defined parking space available right outside our room. The hotel facilities were great, including the spotlights for security and the clean and comfortable rooms with a cosy bed. Also, we enjoyed being close to the Kensington pub, a fantastic spot to catch good meals and drinks without having to venture too far from the hotel.

    It was all superb.
