Some great things about this place: It was easy to find and just down the road from the Whangarei information centre, free wireless broadband that worked with no hassles, and really comfy beds. There was a nice inground pool (decent size) which would have been good for a swim and a chill out had the weather been kinder. We stayed... More

broken glass under the chair-watch your children. We pay 150 per night (2 adults 2 kids) asking for 2 bedroom and in fact they give 1 bedroom (cost 135- Unfortunately we know it late. Apart from above, we can't comment on quality- what do you want as it is only 3 stars

I would urge anyone visiting Whangerei to stop at Fountain Lodge! Booking was easy and Robyn very kindly upgraded me to a better room at no extra charge.

The Unit generally though is tired and in need of a serious makeover. The living area walls need painting, carpet needs replacing, the aluminium windows and sills all need a really good scrub...

We chose to stay at the Fountain Lodge Motel when we migrated to New Zealand recently. The website clearly shows it's not a new motel, and we found the photos had given a true representation. The unit we stayed in was clean, spacious, comfortable and met all our needs. The price was good value for money. The managers could not... More

Difficult to get checked in. Room small and very old fashioned - door consisted of sliding patio door with flimsy lock. Very noisy during night with a number of other units seeming to have all night parties. Having told the owner I needed to leave early (and paid in advance), there was no facility to drop off the key. Had... More

I read the reviews on here so thought we would give it go here. We got the three bedroom unit down the bottom. Dont think it had been used for a while and was quite "musty" they did have something plugged in to cover the smell. The unit was definately in need of a make over.. very dated. Place wasnt... More
