Lodge Bordeaux features a heated outdoor pool, a barbecue pavilion and an in-room breakfast service. A 5-minute drive from Whangarei’s city centre, it offers free unlimited WiFi.

Fully air-conditioned, the self-contained rooms have a full kitchen with a microwave, a fridge and a stove. The seating area comes with a DVD player and a flat-screen TV with some satellite channels. All bathrooms include underfloor heating and most rooms have a spa bath.

Easy access, and even though on the highway, it was quiet. Quick check-in. Shared laundry, but we arrived just in time to get a load done. Our apartment actually looked better than the photos, the kitchen was functional with enough equipment to make a little dinner. We had a spa bath, which we didn't have time to use, but loved that towel warmer. We found a classical music station on the TV! It's nice they provide real milk for your coffee or for hot chocolate with your cookies.

    The location by the sea is gorgeous, with stunning views from inside and out. The house was large, well equipped, clean, and comfortable. The spa was an added bonus (as were the crisps and chocolate!). It exceeded all our expectations.

    The interior design of the room was amazing and the bed was extremely comfortable. Beautiful location right next to the lake meaning that I had access to plenty of wonderful cafes/restaurants.

    Great value! Our room was newly refurbished, absolutely spotless and had all the facilities you need. Everything was designed to make our stay as easy as possible while the owners, Heather and Gordon, could not have been more welcoming and helpful. They were an absolute joy to deal with.

    The staff where so friendly and relaxed and accommodating. They had a nice wooden seat and table outside every room with a nice pot with sand in it for smokers. Didn't have to smoke in a designated area. It was clean and it's the first place I've stayed that had a separate bin in your room for recycling
