Distinction Whangarei Hotel & Conference Centre
Everything was good. Apart from hearing the TV from the room next door at 3am for an hour. Not the hotels fault, but frustrating.

Aaron Court Motel
What a delightful little hotel. I stayed two nights. Quite location I had a lovely view of a lush hill. Walking distance to groceries and cafes. I would have stayed longer if the beach were a bit closer.
