Reviews of BK'S Pohutukawa Lodge

M. R.

I was impressed how spotless our rooms were. All bed linens were sparkling white and clean. Look even the shower curtains are changed after for the new clients. Room services was awesome! No dust or dirt. Showers 10/10 spotless I do recommend this Motel, the staff are very humble .

S. R.

Room was big and very clean. Bed was super comfortable and cozy. The motel is close to town. Overall a great experience.

Highly impressed with everything, very clean, spacious rooms, modern decor. Host was friendly and helpful. Close to town but no noise even though on main road. Appreciated netflix being in room too! Would definitely stay again.

T. R.

Very clean , kind staff however no bathroom amenities, could do for a second mirror as well. The pillows were very hard and to high , need a variety of pillows. Otherwise quite central and good . Thank you

P. L. R.

Great place to stay. Close to the city center and beach not to far from there

E. C.

Recently refurbished and the new owners have done a great job. Very comfortable, handy location, friendly helpful staff and competitive prices. I will definitely stay again.

D. M.

Best lodge in whangarei CBD. Highly recommended 👌🏽 will definitely book another room with them again

G. C.

Nice tidy, basic room. Tea and coffee facilities with a small fridge and microwave. Bathroom was a decent size with a comfortable sized shower and great water pressure. Downside was the double bed which was too small for our liking, used to our king bed. Air Con/heat pump worked great and room had a ceiling fan also. Nice and central to whangarei city.

B. H.

Beautifully clean and comfortable. Definitely head and shoulders above other motels we have stayed in. Great sized, comfortable bed.

R. N.

Great place to stay! Room with SPA is definitely a huge benefit of having a relaxing treatment after a long road. Very friendly, supportive and understandable staff. All five stars from my side! Definitely will stay there again when next time in Whangarei!

j. C.

Very comfortable. Good beds great bedding. Old but clean. Handy to hospital, town centre. V.g. shower

C. A.

They turned the heat pump on for me prior to my arrival so when I got to my room it was nice and warm. Couldn't be happier! Great costumer care.Very friendly staff and great location. Recommend!

D. P. T. T.

Needed to stay an extra night, sorted NO problems. Room was clean n tidy, staff were awesome...beds were nice n comfy. Thank you

E. S.

Clean and tidy room. Three adults and a baby was a cosy comfy fit for us. Beds are comfy although the pillows were a bit firm and flat for my liking but they do provide extras. Like the extra tv in the room on separate viewing channels thankfully. Fully stocked kitchenette with cutlery etc. The fan in the room was great to keep on overnight and not intrusive. Off street parking, little table and chairs outside the room. Might suggest they have one for all the rooms as was sharing with neighbours which was not a problem. Some people like privacy. While there is a busy main road beside the lodge, the traffic noise is not too intrusive. Would recommend to family and friends and would stay again.

D. M.

The room was tidy and had everything that was needed and the service was very friendly. However there washing machine was out of order which made it very difficult to get washing done. In the morning it took a very long time to get hot water but we where told that it was just because we were in the last room in the row and other rooms where empty so it took a little bit to get there. It is in a good location with town just a 10 - 15 minute walk away. The sky channels where grainy and the movie channel had cricket playing over it as if they were pulling the signal out of the air waves without actually paying for sky. The Freeview channels worked fine though. In total the room was spacious enough for four and although a little dated everything was comfortable and was fine for a couple of nights stay.

a.

Stayed for 2 nights in large studio. Very clean with all that we needed, kitchenette with microwave and great water pressure in shower.||We found the bed a little lumpy/soft (like sleeping on the couch) otherwise everything was fine.

T. H.

Lovely place to stay very clean and wonderful refurbishment The spa bath was a great additive as well! 5 stars

D. S.

We used two rooms and loved them both. This is a special place, super clean and everyone is friendly and supportive. It was a difficult trip for us but BKs made it wonderful.

J. W.

Good service. We were left alone to do our own thing and the room was clean. It stunk of cigarette smoke though and we had someone knock on our door asking for someone else which felt weird. Other than those two things, it was an alright stay.

V. &. M. A.

Highly recommended. We had a great stay. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The bath and aircon were awesome. Owen was friendly and helpful. Thank you :)

E. H.

Standard kind of motel, nothing very special about it but our room was clean and tidy, if a little stuffy. Plenty of info at reception about things to do in the area. On-site parking is handy, but I'm not sure if there's actually a space for every room, since ours was right in the corner - so get in quick!

W. L.

Owen's a great host, for a fresh / clean / tidy lodge stay. Thank you for helping resell our unneeded room nights. We had a fab 2 nights, exploring Whangarei's art. :D

BK’S Pohutukawa Lodge has just reopened after an extensive renovation and WOW! Look no further for accomodation in Whangarei. I booked as a last minute thing as I wasn’t expecting to stay in Whangarei the night however, it was the best surprise. Staff were warm and welcoming, easy access and parking, great free Wi-Fi with smart TV. The room was impeccably clean with brand new beds, bedding, furnishings, bathroom, kitchen and flooring! They really have done a great job and I will be adding it to my regular rotation of business stops 100%

B. S.

Love staying here, easy access to town and region plus clean rooms and close to town.

C. C.

We got this place sorta last minute and relatively cheap so it's pay for what you get really. The place was a little run down, still clean though . Just really really hot in summer cuz the ceiling fan didnt help much. But other than that size was decent, service was great, and location really close to city centre.

B. H.

Easy location and handy to cafes and cbd. Super clean rooms and comfortable beds. Water pressure in the shower is next level. Highly recommended

S. S.

Very rude and unfair. They gave me a booking and then decided two days before that they need to cancel it. with absolutely no fault I end up with without a booking two days before the trip. They don't even bother picking up the phone, they send me an email like you have no booking now sorry 2 days before the booking date.

M. C. M.

Very nice and incredibly helpful staff. Great place to get a good sleep. Very clean. Rooms have a little fridge, mugs, plates and cutlery. Definitely would recommend

k. J.

For the $ you pay, it's one of the good hotels to stay, the room was clean, the bathroom was too clean , the spa tub was really an added advantage to relax yourself after a tiring journey, bed n linen were good, overall a beautiful stay

J. M.

Wonderful facilities of warmth, comfort and relaxation in which catered for a very pleasant stay. Beautiful service extended by a lovely hostess. Highly recommended!

S. E.

The place was cozy and had everything we needed. Had to find a place to stay near the hospital that was reasonably priced due to family being in hospital and paid for two nights ended up needing to rush to Auckland hospital and when I told Owen the owner he helped in everyway he could...can't say enough about this place.

s. w.

Being the busy time of the year 2wks b4 Christmas 2021 my dad had been transferred down from kaitaia to whgz hospital and we were still in the red for Covid. No motels available then this 1 come up but only for couple days but my dad got worse and Owen blocked this unit for us as long as we needed it. Sadly my dad passed 26 Dec 2021 in the haven in kaitaia Thanku Owen for all your support

Beds are so comfortable the spa bath is a treat and the shower pressure is fantastic rooms are very clean great stay friendly staff.

D. F.

We stayed here for a concert at the stadium and happily walked home in less than 30mins. Great value for money and friendly management!

b. d.

Reasonably tidy and affordable. A bit of a walk to town but ok. Get a rear room as the highway may be noisy. Government guests are a slippery slope for motels atm.

R. L.

Awesome service and very clean. Booked last minute and they stayed an extra hour after closing to ensure I checked in alright. Recommended!

N. N.

Very nice rooms, large and tidy. Large bathroom as well. Overall great overnight stop. Would recommend.

G. R.

Check if the laundry is operating before you book if you need to use it during your stay.

O. E.

I'm thankful for the owner for being so understanding with my situation. Thank you for the quiet, not annoying stay. I appreciate it. ☺️ I'll be staying again in the future
