Stayed here in between Xmas and new years. The pool was clean and a welcome asset during the hot weather. Our room was basic but clean and tidy, the only downside was no air-con but we had 2 x fans in our room. Shower pressure not great. Other guests were quiet overnight, but as the motel is close to the hospital be prepared for the rescue helicopter to take off early morning/late at night. Recommend a day trip to Waitangi/Paihia.

When we needed last minute accommodation at 11pm on a Friday due to a family member being in hospital, Han at the Motel Villa del Rio was more than happy to accommodate us and made our late check in a breeze. The room was very clean and spacious, making our stay most comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again.

At 4pm, we went to book here on a business trip as there was no sign outside stating there was no vacancy. On entry we found an unattended reception counter displaying a no vacancy sign... Moved on up the road to spend our money else where. I know Covid has been tough on the industry, but would it be to much to ask to put up a sign outside?

The good reviews don’t match our experience unfortunately. I don’t mind outdated (and it is), as long as it’s clean. Spacious and well laid out but comes with some big buts......there was no soap provided to wash your hands, crumbs in the fridge, bedroom window latch was held together with toilet paper, the bathroom window latch was broken and wouldn’t close so there were sandflies everywhere. The shower pressure was non existent. Hate to have to give such a poor review as this place has way more potential. As it is, it’s a no from me.

Hotels don't seem to exist in Whangarei. The motels all advertise luxury pools and spacious living areas, but in reality for the European traveller you will find they're all pretty basic in terms of interior fittings and decor. Nevertheless, this place was spotlessly clean, well maintained and well located, and exceptionally well priced. The free wifi was fast and reliable too, which was a bonus. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. You couldn't expect more for the cost. A very comfortable stay.

Very clean and comfortable one bedroom unit with a queen bed in the bedroom and 2 singles in the lounge area. Very friendly and helpful hosts, Judy and Dean.
Although in a busy area, night time was quiet - no problems sleeping.

My partner and I stayed two nights on a road trip. The hotel is tired, but all fixtures worked and the beds were comfortable. There was a musty smell, no self service laundry. Note that the hotel is not in the best area and it is popular with young families, so there is likely to be noise.
