Lodge Bordeaux features a heated outdoor pool, a barbecue pavilion and an in-room breakfast service. A 5-minute drive from Whangarei’s city centre, it offers free unlimited WiFi.

Fully air-conditioned, the self-contained rooms have a full kitchen with a microwave, a fridge and a stove. The seating area comes with a DVD player and a flat-screen TV with some satellite channels. All bathrooms include underfloor heating and most rooms have a spa bath.

Easy access, and even though on the highway, it was quiet. Quick check-in. Shared laundry, but we arrived just in time to get a load done. Our apartment actually looked better than the photos, the kitchen was functional with enough equipment to make a little dinner. We had a spa bath, which we didn't have time to use, but loved that towel warmer. We found a classical music station on the TV! It's nice they provide real milk for your coffee or for hot chocolate with your cookies.

    The staff was soooo kind !!! Even though we have family living in Whangarei. We were in the country organising a surprise 60th for mum and had to hide out somewhere for a few days while doing the last organising for the event. Our lovely host was ever so kind to even offer any help if we needed to get things organised. Offer for us to use the motel fairy lights if need be.

    Our neighbors had a party, so I couldn't sleep. After midnight, I had to go and tell them to keep quiet. They started wrapping it up, and finally, by 1 AM, I could go to sleep. There were no guest rules displayed in the motel, so I suppose they assumed such behavior was acceptable.

    This motel was more than suitable for us as we had come to watch soccer which was within walking distance of this motel and so were many eating places which meant we could leave the car at the motel which had great free parking. Owner was excellent to deal with.
