Havelock North Motor Lodge

We stayed three nights in a King Studio Suite. It was an end unit so was relatively quiet. The unit was clean and had all the basics required. Easy walking distance to all shops and restaurants in the town centre and also to New World grocery store.

Great location and quiet! Very clean and tidy. Air conditioning in the unit which was necessary. Great shower pressure too. Body wash & shampoo in shower for guests to use. Hairdryer available also. Very comfortable bed. Very helpful & friendly staff.

Hubby and I have stayed at this motel many times and really like it. The owner and staff are super friendly and helpful. We normally have a one-bedroom unit, which we did again this time round. It gives us a separate bedroom if one of us (normally me!) wants to go to bed earlier than the other. This time we were in Room 3 again, it’s our favourite (for no particular reason, we’ve stayed in other one-bedroom units and they’re all the same but we’ve gotten used to this one). There is a single bed (a proper bed, not a bed/settee) in the lounge so it would comfortably sleep three if required. There is a lot of room in the kitchen/dining room/lounge area. The rooms are always scrupulously clean, and the complimentary toiletries are very nice to use. We find the large super King sized beds extremely comfortable and always have a good night’s sleep. Directly across the road from the motel entrance are about six different restaurants, some eat in, some takeaway, some both. We highly recommend The Great Chilli for a delicious Indian meal, and Havelock North Fish for some of the best fish and chips we’ve had in a long time. The fish and chips was so nice we had it twice during our four-night stay. The motel is right in the centre of the village, so you’re only a minute or two’s walk away from the shops and other cafés/eateries. Should you wish to cook meals, there are two hot plates set into the benchtop, and a microwave. There is a very generous supply of tea/coffee/chocolate/sugar etc and a Nespresso coffee machine that uses pods, with two pods provided free. The rooms have “My Sky” so you can set the recorder to record whatever you want during your stay. Not many motels have this, and it’s really great. Unlimited wifi which works very well. Thank you Havelock North Motor Lodge for another enjoyable stay, we’ll be back again in a few months.
