Kingswood Manor Motel is located only 4 kilometres north of the Whangarei Central Business District. It features an outdoor spa bath and barbecue facilities.
“We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The staff were warm and welcoming. The room was very comfortable with an exceptional level of cleanliness and presentation. The new 40 inch TV that had been installed in the room was a bonus. We were particularly impressed with how quiet the motel was in evening despite the fact that most of the rooms were occupied. I'm a light sleeper and normally find motel stays a chore because of the constant noise from other guests. However, this was not the case at the Kingswood. I slept throughout the night without hearing a peep from the neighboring rooms, which suggests that the rooms have high quality sound proofing, and no road noise.”
