Bk's 포우투카와 로지(BK's Pohutukawa Lodge)

The property has been recently renovated so everything was fresh, clean and new. The place was full and not surprised with the new standard of rooms, makes for one of the best properties in town. I will definitely be staying here when I come back through for work.

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%.

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.

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 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.

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!

Comfortable bed good location, good amenities.
