Top Parakao Hotel Reviews

Kingswood Manor Motel

10/10 Excellent

"I booked disabled unit and it was perfect for my requirements. The shower didn’t drain properly but staff fixed problem straight away and replaced towels which we had used to dry floor around shower base. A very nice warm and well appointed unit."

Lodge Bordeaux

8/10 Good

"My stay started out perfectly great — everything lovely. The owners were super-friendly at check‑in, and everything seemed lovely. I was going through a rough time, checked out early, and accidentally left a few things behind, including the key. When I came back the next day, they’d kindly packed everything into a bag for me. Great. And then the vibe did a full 180. The same owner who’d been warm when I checked in suddenly looked at me like I’d dragged a body across the carpet instead of accidentally leaving a key behind. The friendliness evaporated. The judgment was thick enough to cut with a butter knife. It was such a sharp, icy shift that the whole place instantly felt… off. I go away for privacy, not to be silently assessed like I’ve broken some unspoken motel commandment. It’s amazing how fast a perfectly ordinary stay can tilt into “is this where the horror movie starts?” territory. One minute it’s a pleasant little spot, the next minute you’re wondering if you should back away slowly and avoid any showers with see‑through curtains. The accommodation itself was lovely but that sudden personality switch was pure Norman Bates energy. A key return shouldn’t feel like the prelude to a thriller, yet here we are. Small town New Zealand and no understanding of privacy."

Top Hill House

10/10 Excellent

"A fun experience - Kathy is incredibly nice and interesting to talk to. The property isn’t what you see in the photos as they are working on it. Expect more of a farmhouse stay with full kitchen and family room area. It is an operating small farm environment outside. Incredible views from the deck or lawn. If you are staying in the 1 bedroom, it appears you can expect to share a bathroom with whoever has the rest of the house!"

Distinction Whangarei Hotel & Conference Centre

6/10 Okay

"Beds were very comfortable, the lighting was all on one switch, so couldn’t have lower dimmed lights on in the evening. The shower was very small. Room entry doors were very noisy as guests came & went, maybe they should all be fitted with an automatic door closure."
