Detailed Reviews
I stayed three nights for business in the larger unit, all of the decent places in town were full. The smell in the unit was a combination of stale cigarettes and sour milk. I purchased a scented candle to burn the whole time I was in the unit because it was really off putting. The drawer in the bathroom vanity had smears of toothpaste and hair, the bedside table had hair and dust. On the first day my dishes were cleaned and put away (comprising of a tea cup, a wine glass, and a plate). On the second day they were not. The bin in the kitchen was emptied but the bathroom one was not. An upgrade is needed, as well as perhaps some retraining of the housekeepers.

Stayed for 2 nights in a large studio - it had a queen bed, 2 singles a lounge, kitchen with all the basics and a table and chair set.
Bathroom was very large - everything was clean in this unit.
Bed was comfortable.
Staff were friendly but kept knocking on the room each morning about 9am to see if we wanted anything....nice to be asked but not when you are tired fronm travelling and dont want to be woken at that time. Need do not disturb signs!!
The motel room was tired looking and needs updating.

Convenient location, soundproof room with door closed, and a spacious disability bathroom. This is an older but well kept motel with excellent hosts who take bookings over the phone. This is our second stay here in the past 3 weeks. It's very well priced with parking at the door with easy wheeled access into the unit. A small kitchenette with fridge, jug, toaster, microwave, dishes. Reverse cycle air conditioning. Be hard to beat for the price. Table and chairs provided outside rooms.

I wouldn't stay here again in a hurry
Really really noisy from the road, trucks going through all the time.
Units are very tired & need a lot spent on them to get them anywhere up to speed.
This would be a last resort to stay at, only cos of the street noise

Clean, tidy and friendly staff including the house keeper. We stayed in the large room which had two single beds, a queen bed, large bathroom, kitchen and living room with table and chairs. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Slight road noise despite being at the back of the property, however nothing to be concerned about. 5/5!

An outstanding stay. The desk staff was very accommodating and friendly. The rooms are newly renovated and clean. Good stock of yea and coffee in the room. The hotel is quiet and has guest laundry. The use of the machines is free and you can buy washing powder there.

We found the unit tired and in need of maintenance. The brown carpet was dirty and stained and the kitchen unit could do with updating. We wouldn’t recommend this motel as it is not up to the standard of other BK’s motels that we have stayed in previously.

A worn and tired lodge. The cupboards in the kitchen were loose and the bathroom cupboard was chipped and holes in the flooring. Only one bedside table and lamp. Not worth the money and can't recommend it att all.

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.

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%.
