Finde Hotels in Whangarei

Restaurant review: I went with a group of friends so luckily sociability was more of a priority for me than the food and this was the saving grace for the night. Flames in my opinion cannot be described as an atmospheric dining experience as touted. For the non discerning diner who is happy with pub style fare the menu served, it was questionably passable. Those seeking atmosphere or a romantic intimate setting should look elsewhere. That aside the staff were pleasant. Overall the standard of food was not up to basic chef standard which makes me question if there was a trained chef in the kitchen.. My chicken Parmigiana and accompanying risotto balls were deep fried and overcooked resulting in dry fillets rather than succulent as described in the menu. The tomato sauce was missing and it was covered in what looked like a crinkled yellow sheet of plastic type cheese. The accompanying piece of broccoli and bok choy provided a welcome relief to this desert fare. I managed to get through half of the meal only. Complaints abounded from others who complained of tough steaks, dark brown chips, coleslaw instead of seasonal salad and the desert menu looked more suited to a child's menu being lots of over-sauced and cherried icecream and a panacotta that was tasteless and resembled a very solid door stop .What was served was at odds with the description on the website and I failed to see where any real or imaginative cooking or presentation had taken place. It all seemed more like freezer to deep fryer fare and this is fine if those were our expectations and the menu priced accordingly. If this review seems harsh its not meant to be, I wish it were the opposite but hopefully it will lead to reflection and improvements. its just that I can tell when food is not prepared with care and love and its somewhat irritating when ingredients are seemingly trampled on, they deserve better. Suffice to say, I will not be frequenting this restaurant for a 'dining experience' again. Unfortunately no photos were taken as despite the poor quality of food the company was excellent and we all had an enjoyable time catching up.

War ein OK Aufenthalt für eine Nacht etwas höher Preis und die Matratzen waren ein bisschen vorbei, so dass nicht ein guter Schlaf leider dann waren wir brutal von jemandem auf unsere Tür und nicht aufhörten, bis wir es nur zu gehen, um zu gehen falsche Zimmer das war um 7 Uhr Leider verließen wir vor offenen Stunden des Büros oder hätten wir um eine teilweise Erstattung für unseren Aufenthalt gebeten.

This is a great motel. After Easter camping washed out this was my bolt hole. I needed dry and wifi for a couple of days of work. The management are friendly, efficient and considerate. The room was fab- fresh, clean and spacious. With big comfy bed, FULL and well equipped kitchen (speedy convection hob and oven), the bathroom is new with a powerful hot shower. The little detail of a provincial style table [rather than ugly built in desk unit] is cute. Double extra points for clear signed in room recycling, no single use bathroom products and they don’t take the towels when you don’t need them too! There’s a small pool, but it was seasonally closed in mid April :( The negatives… there’s no cafetière and the shower door leaks! Would recommend and would happily return.

Nice, quiet place had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. We only needed to sleep there and were out everyday. It served its purpose. Fastest service ever. Has a nice quiet garden area, spa, lots of parking.

Tim und Jan waren sehr freundlich und untergebracht. Aufgrund des schlechten Wetters beschlossen wir, unsere Buchungen zu ändern und frühzeitig zu verlassen. Sie waren sehr empfänglich für unsere Sorgen und machten sich nichts dagegen ein bisschen. Das Zimmer, das wir bekam, war großartig! Es war sauber und gemütlich, mit doppelglasigen Fenstern, so erwies sich es als kurz, aber sehr komfortabel und ruhig zu bleiben. Da wir neu waren, war Tim auch genügend freundlich, um Vorschläge an Orten zu besuchen/zu essen, in Erinnerung an wir hatten zwei junge Kinder. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Pembroke Motor Lodge was great. Stayed for one night in November 2023. Room was spacious and very clean. Bed and pillows were very comfortable, with quality fine cotton sheets. Good aircon. Good value. Location is ideal for exploring Whangarei and surrounds. Bob and Carol were so welcoming, friendly and hospitable. They made our stay. Highly recommend.
