Stayed at Barringtons Motor Lodge for one night on business. Just really needed a bed. Room was comfortable, well appointed and roomy. Good continental breakfast available. Did I mention the bed and pillows were really good. Recommended.

We stayed in two studio units a few weeks ago, one with a King bed, the other with a Queen bed. As per the website the rooms are very spacious, clean and new. There is modern furniture with a kitchenette. Good location, 2kms from the town centre. My partner stayed here two years ago so on his recommendation we stayed... More

Once again I've had the pleasure of enjoying Alan's Whakatane establishment. I've been staying there regularly over the last 4 years and he can always find a spot for me to rest and recharge ready for the next day. The rooms are always clean and tidy, well presented and the added ale (for good clients) is an extra I look... More

We only spent one night in Whakatane at the beginning of our trip around the North Island and are so glad we picked Barringtons. The hosts are so accommodating and helpful. We received a map of the area and multiple recommendations for dinner. The accommodations are just about perfect. The town is worth a visit, as well.

I arrived late but was warmly welcomed! My room was meticulously clean with a wide range of coffees, teas and non-alcoholic beverages to choose from. Beautiful lay out and decor! Bed very comfy! I was lucky to be a corner unit that had less people traffic. Breakfast was divine, perfectly poached eggs on warm toast. Excellent service!

Spacious, clean, quiet and close to the beautiful Whakatane river walkway. Biggest compliment to the owners and staff - friendly, professional, service focused - couldn't have been more helpful and flexible. The owners know the area and were keen to help with reservations or recommendations. And the bed was comfortable too!

Our motel room was nice and very clean and good size for a studio room, a lot larger than some we have stayed in. It is also walking distance to the supermarket & suburban shops. Nice, handy location. Would stay here again.
