We booked this stop for 1 night on our recent visit to the Northland area of New Zealand and we were sorry we could only spend the 1 night as it was a beautiful location overlooking the bay. Our room was number 6 and was upstairs affording wonderful 360 views. We would love to have stayed for several days to enjoy chilling out here. We will need to return! The rooms have been refurbished tastefully and are spacious and very clean. The shower was great and the bed very comfortable. The kitchenette had plenty of options for self catering simple meals. The owners (Deb and Chester) were extremely friendly and welcoming, offering plenty of tips for our trip to Cape Reinga ( which we followed) and we enjoyed a chat later in the evening when we saw them at dinner. There are numerous choices for dinner close by and if you are up for a steep walk back they are in walking distance. This motel turned out to be one of the hidden gems of our many travels to New Zealand North and South!…

Clean and comfortable large motel room. Able to walk out front and back of unit to views. Each unit has its own grass area with out door seating. The View was just amazing as situated on hill. Owners Chester and Deb were just wonderful and accomodating. They gave us great information for our trip up north. Motel very handy to shops and hotel. Town has a wonderful friendly vibe. Returned for a second night because of the above reasons.

Whilst the building may be a little dated, the beds are extremely comfortable and the view is sensational. Definitely a good choice with the higher elevation looking over Mill Bay and the harbour. I’d stay here again.

We stayed in the Dolphin Suite. The view is main drawcard here. The view is breathtaking from the front and back of the room. Just Spectacular and the owners are lovely. Rooms were spotlessly clean. Was not far to get to the shops. The Cons: room needs a little renovation. Cupboards in kitchen ancient and rooms generally need a freshen up with a coat of paint and new carpet.

We have had a memorable stay at the Mangonui Motel. Sadly stayed only one night due to travel constraints but will definitely return. The unit was spotless, the view unbeatable and the hosts lovely friendly people. Can't rate highly enough and strongly recommend to any travellers visiting Doubtless Bay. Thanks very much for your hospitality.

Mangonui Motel is a gem. The views from every room in our upstairs room were simply stunning, the comfort and decor were great, but the crowning glory is the attention to detail, care and kindness of the owners, Chester and Debbie. Our two night stay was a highlight of our far north holiday. The hints and advice offered by Debbie helped us find local spots to pause at on our way up to Cape Reinga. Our unit was spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable and well appointed. To emphasise just how great our experience here was, after we left an electrical appliance behind, Chester posted it across the country to our home, and would not accept reimbursement of his costs. Fantastic .

I booked 6 rooms and we arrived for 3 nights in march. The rooms were fantastic and every room had amazing views of the harbour. The hosts were lovely and made us very welcome. We were on Harleys so the only negative we had is that the drive in is quite steep and the surface was loose gravel which made handling pretty exciting. Would not be an issue for vehicles though. Highly recommend this place and we will definitely stay again
