          Kauri Lodge was what it was billed to be. Clean room with Netflix. Was a cool night but the heater that the room was equipped with did the job well. Staff were lovely. We were on motorcycles and they offered to let us put them in the garage rather than the slanted the parking lot. Very thoughtful!

          Very outdated interior and exterior, feels like you're back in the 90s . Comfortable bed and pillow. Fairly clean (cobwebs in corners, behind doors and harder to reach areas). Separate kitchen with dining table. Great location, across the road from playground and visitors information. Quick stroll to town centre

          Took a tour to Cape Reinga and the tour bus picks right outside the motel! Room was spacious and generally clean. Sofa bed is a little too soft - the mattress/cushions sink right into the centre. Well equipped with cooking equipment, microwave and a decently sized fridge. Overall good stay (except the place could be slightly cheaper)

          The Kauri Lodge Motel is perfect for folks taking the intercity bus to far north. The motel is a few steps away from the bus stations and a couple of blocks away from town where you can check out the local shops. The room is comfortable, clean, complete with kitchenette. Warm bath was always available, bed was comfy and there is coffee anytime you feel like having a hot cup. Felt like home with Margaret and Barry ready to help out. We are from Manila, and the Kauri Lodge made us felt like home. I highly recommned this place.

          Margaret and Barry are excellent hosts. Upon arrival, she helped us sort out our Cape Reinga tour booking. That saved us a lot of unnecessary effort. Despite being an old motel, everything was clean and well maintained. Margaret was very helpful and made our stay really pleasant. We also met Barry after back from our Cape Reinga and had a great chat with him. I would gladly recommend anyone to stay there.
