Pembrooke Motor Lodge

Bob and Carol were wonderful hosts, very friendly.  Room was spacious and well presented.

Awesome place to stay kids loved the spa bath nice easy parking great stay

This was very good, just what we needed, no complaints and I would recommend the place for sure

Second stay here; great reception, lovely traditional motor inn room, large and comfortable with balcony front & rear. Very clean and with all the equipment needed in kitchen & bathroom. Handy for town & local visitor attractions.

I will always opt to stay here when I need a spot in Whangarei. It's close enough to the main centre, hospital etc to be very convenient. It's quiet and has great parking. The owner is efficient and friendly. My favourite feature though is just how spotlessly clean it is. Every time! The best failure for money in town.

Super old style motor inn. Friendly reception. Nice spacious room with everything we needed. Balcony to both front and back caught the sun in morning and evening. 2 big supermarkets a few minutes walk away and just over a mike from the town centre/basin.

Roomy and airy. Owner was very helpful by driving us to pick Thai food when it looked like rain. He also drove us back to the airport the next day to pick up rental car. View from windows was trees on hill. While we heard road noise, it wasn’t a problem.

Enjoyed our stay, nice and clean with friendly hosts.

Always my first choice in Whangarei

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.

Exceed expectations and great customer service

After many years working in high end luxury lodges - I realised the thing that set us all apart was the service we provide and our ongoing pursuit of exceeding the guests expectations. Whilst the Pembrooke Lodge is not a Luxury Lodge (and nor does it pitch itself to be), the service I received way exceeeded what I expected.

Firstly - the rooms are dated yes - but they are VERY clean and spacious and the bed very comfortable. I arrived early in the morning as I was heading north for the day on business so asked if I could park my car on site as I was travelling with a colleague. Not only could I leave y car there, but was handed the key and told to check in to the room if I wanted to - and is was not quite 10am!!!
Upon returning from Kaitaia, I went to my car to see something over my drivers side window - and immediately thought that someone had broken in - but no, I had left the  window open and after a beautiful morning in Whangarei - the heavens opened in the afternoon and the owners saw my open window and took it on themselves to cover the gap with a towel to prevent the inside of my car getting wet. I was of course incredibly grateful.
That is the stuff that impresses me and reaffirms in my mind that this is exactly the place I will return to, over and over when transiting Whangarei. I will also tell this story a hundred times in the hope that other travelers through Northland experience the wonderful husband and wife team who manage the Lodge. 
Thank you for a memorable stay in your lodge and yes - I will absolutely return!!

Customer service to a new level!

We stayed two nights in unit 1.
This is an older, dated motel but clean and comfortable.
Some units may get traffic noise but we were away from the road.
Roomy units, comfortable bed, park at the door, wide screen tv, basic kitchen.
Very handy   to the basin and the new Hunterwasser museum.
Also very convenient to Bank Street and its cafes and restaurants.
We would strongly recommend Essence cafe and Whang Thai in Bank Street.
Unlike many motels all units here HAVE air conditioning absolutely essential this time of year.
This motel is value for many but dont expect five stars.

Great Location

We stayed at the Pembrooke Motor Lodge in Whangarei with another couple. Bob and Carol, the kiwi owners, were both very friendly in the initial phone contacts we had with them. They very kindly allowed us to have use of a unit before check in time.  The units were very clean and all the staff were friendly and obliging. The beds were very comfortable and warm, the hot water was hot and the shower was strong with an adjustable shower head. A very comfortable and pleasant stay. We'll be back next time we're in Whangarei.

Friendly kiwi owners

We are 3 people of experience travelling through North Island New Zealand. We have had bookings ahead of our nights until two nights ago when we arrived in Whangarei without one. We looked about town, went to information centre and then stumbled upon the Pembrooke. How lucky we were.
This spot is wonderful. Clean, friendly, welcoming. We ended up staying for two nights.
Carol and Bob were fabulous hosts! Definitely recommend!

Fortunate Find

We would not hesitate to recommend Pembroke Motor Lodge as a place to stay in Whangarei. The hosts could not have been more accommodating and even arranged for us to get meal when our flight was delayed and we were late arriving. The room was very clean and spacious. We would have liked to have stayed longer.

Great Accommodation in Whangarei

While Holidaying in New Zealand my mother was taken ill and admitted to Whangarei Hospital ICU. We booked a couple of rooms at the Pembrooke Motor Lodge as it was close to the Hospital. We didn't know how long we needed the room, we didn't know how many rooms we needed as other family were flying over from Australia. Lucky for us we landed in the hands of Bob and Carol and there fabulous staff, nothing was a problem, they made a stressful time a lot stressful. they shuffled  rooms around to fit us in, they made lunch and sometimes dinner for us and did the laundry, not to mention offering me a beer at the end of the day. the rooms were spacious, tidy and clean, the service impeccable.
my family cannot thank Bob and Carol enough for there kindness and compassion during this time, which fortunately  had a happy ending. 
we still get follow up texts making sure my Mother is doing ok.
do yourself a favor, stay here if you are in the area, you wont be dissapointed

Knights in Shining Armour

Good size studio room with windows on two walls which made the room light.Some road noise as the motel is sited on a road junction.Large flat screen tv,no air con but there was a fan, which was needed as temps were 27C. Nice secluded balcony overlooking car parking area.Friendly owner (Rick) who gave some good tips.Too far to walk to town but supermarkets just a 5 minute walk.Separate toilet from shower room.Overall, kitchen and bathroom fittings a bit dated but everything worked and the unit was good value for the price.
