Top Whakarongo Hotel Reviews

Kauri Court Motel and Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, walkable into Palmy centre, next to a service station for any essentials. Neil was extremely helpful from the get-go, many thanks to him for the dog-friendly taxi recommendation. We stayed with our little pupper and it was like a home from home."

Harringtons Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a great stay at Harrington’s Motor Lodge. The staff were absolutely lovely and so welcoming. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We stayed for two nights and were pleasantly surprised that the room was cleaned each day, which was a nice touch. The location is great too. It’s right across from the Esplanade and park. There’s also a BP within an easy walking distance, and it’s not too far to walk into town. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and honestly couldn’t fault it. Would definitely stay here again next time we’re in Palmerston North!"
