Fountain Lodge Motel

Whangarei's best bed

Spent a couple of weeks here and I must say that the service and location was second to none. The proprietors really went out of their way to make my stay as easy and hassle free as possible, their advertising says that they 'go the extra mile', I can vouch for that.
I'd recommend the cooked breakfast for a great homecooked start to the Northland day. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated, the free(!) wireless internet and cable tv are definite plusses especially if like me your laptop goes everywhere you do. The kids enjoyed the trampoline, playground and swimming pool and being so close to town it was a nice 10 minute stroll for a coffee or look around the shops.

Unique Quality: The service and local knowledge of the proprietors was very helpful. As said above the internet access was great for me and if you're a business traveller no doubt it would be a benefit to have. The iron/ing board and hair dryer were also two features I wouldn't have expected at this price range. Room service from the local club is a fantastic option if you don't want to leave your room on a chilly night and the cooked breakfast available from the motel room service avoids meeting the brisk morning air too early either!
