It was a memorable stay as the place had character and was certainly different! But we won’t go back
Pros:

It certainly had character! It was an old style Hotel in Northland.
The view from the room and balcony was amazing! There was a nice walk around the water.

Cons:

It was very dated. There was no fridge or tea making facilities in the room (we should have checked before booking tho)
There was a bar area below our room with music playing the whole time. ( some may like that)

Mangonui Hotel stay
Pros:

The location is awesome.
The room was very basic and the whole place could do with some love. It served it's purpose but still could have been a lot nicer with better amenities.

Cons:

The place was a little run down and could do with some love.
There was no hotel/bar menu and we had to order from the takeaways in the same building, it was disappointing because we looked forward to a nice, classic pub meal.. but unfortunately that was unavailable.

Disappointing
Pros:

Good location and parking

Cons:

Room was tired and in need of refurbishment. Bed not comfortable, rubbish bin never emptied. Timer on washbasin tap was a pain! There was a double bed and single/ king single so for 3 people but no space for hanging clothes or drawers for storage. Window dirty with cobwebs.
Kitchenette along hallway for making hot drinks but mugs were stained. Sign asking people to clean up when finished but first day there was no cloth, scourer to do so.
