Bella Vista Whangarei

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 weeks ago
A lovely clean studio apartment with everything required for a short stay. Very comfortable beds indeed. Friendly helpful staff. It is located on a rather noisy road but this wouldn’t stop me staying again. Recommend The Quay for great food too.

Lovely clean modern unit. Wonderful kind owners who really looked after us. Great location very central and easy to find. Comfy bed. Great facilities. Everything was spotlessly clean and new. Good parking. We will definitely stay here again.

Right from the start Cindy was most helpful as I had to change the booking twice because of Hospital admission dates changing for my wife. We have stayed at B ella Vista before and this time it seems that the rooms may have had a bit of a renovation. On check in the room ( rm9) was exceptionally clean and tidy with all amenities you would need for a short stay. Cindy was very very helpful and I would not hesitate to recommend this motel . We have also been in the accom sector ourselves and can tell that this is an extremely well run motel. Well done JJ and Cindy! Xie Xie !

First time driving in NZ so wasn’t sure which motels were good. Room was compact, colorfully decorated, everything worked great. Parking was easy, beds were comfortable, had a microwave & sink, coffee-making supplies. Worked perfectly.

Room tip: Parking assigned to each room. We had a compact car. NZ check-in 2pm-7pm. Check out is 10am (standard here). Gas station across street.

We had booked a room for myself and daughter from Sunday the 28th until friday the 2nd of feb
Unfortunately due to an error in the booking platform our request for a disabled access unit was not passed on and our room when we arrived was upstairs. The hosts Marilyn and Ray could not have ben more helpful. They displayed a level of professionalism and customer service rarely found in NZ. Within a short period of time they had completely rearranged an accessible unit to meet our needs.
