Kaitaia Far North Regional Museum Hotels

"Lovely big roomy house, fantastic views.Grubby. We had to clean dried food off the kitchen bench. A drink had been spilled through an outside door so we had to clean the inside tiles, as they were sticky. Soft soap in the bathroom had been filled with water. Considerable mildew on the blinds in the bathroom. Mildew in the ensuite. Light bulbs out. Just grubby!"

"Loud traffic from the main road. Motel driveway needs repair maintenance. Barking dogs next door."

"The office should open till 6pm, when we turned up 5:10pm, no one was around. The wifi password written on the key pad and on the wall in the room but it didn't work. The room was very dated, the kitchen cupboards and drawers couldn't be closed properly, the shower wall leaked water after being used. Basically we were rather disappointed. "

"Outstanding property well appointed and well managed. Lots of space and fantastic views. Truly memorable. "

"Clean room. Perfect for an overnight stay"

"Beautiful place with a beautiful view. We had a great time. Great communication. Will be coming back for sure! "

"We made a return visit to this property as, last time we stayed, we were very impressed with the facilities in this modern apartment. The view is indeed panoramic. Very comfortable bed and furnishings. "

"I have given a 4-star rating, but if there was a 4.5 it would have been that! Everything was really lovely, the view, the food, the bed was comfortable, the staff were excellent, it was clean.... But, there were a few maintenance issues that should be addressed. The biggest issue is that the light switch in the bathroom is faulty - doesn't stay on unless you wiggle the switch a bit. I'd say either the switch is loose or the wiring is a bit dodgy. Either way, that needs to be fixed. Other more minor issues are: The curtain was hanging off the curtain rail in the bedroom, the shower would not drain properly (we fixed that ourselves by pouring hot water down the drain, but clearly the drain needs a proper clean), the shower rose leaked (I think it's the wrong shower head on the hose), the heat pump/air conditioner did not work in the lounge, it didn't work when turning on at the machine, and there was no remote control. Overall a very enjoyable stay and these issues did not detract from our enjoyment, but they should be addressed."

"Although a little quirky, and perhaps a bit tired Beachcomber Lodge provides a good backpackers hostel venue. There's a well-equipped guest kitchen and the room was fine. "
