This hotel was amazing and we really enjoyed the location to everything aswell as the customer service right up to the manager as girls who have lived in auckland and experienced hotels there this place has immaculate care for their customers within their space we also enjoyed the body wash that smelt so beautiful we are going to get some of that also we are truly greatful thank you.
The bathroom and room is tidy, but in-terms of cleanliness should have more room of improvements, as we still found some dust on the bed and in the bathroom as well. But since it's a backpacker style hostel, couldn't be much picky bout the hostel itself.
Kitchen amenities is great, and I love the common area there.
Definitely a go to if you have budget concerns!
Breakfast is very simple, can be used for extra beds, suitable for children, parking, at the beach, especially quiet Russell Island, very good ferry is also very convenient!
Two 🕷️ were found in the room, but New Zealand is also normal, you can pay attention if you mind. Location is good, the only downside is next to a gas station, slightly noisy at night
The location of the hotel is good, not far from the pier. There are not many guests and parking is very convenient. There are places to eat not too far away. I checked in early in the morning and was given a room directly. The price-performance ratio is good.
Slightly tired with some maintenance due.
Too many emails (I think 9 in total) re the stay. When on holiday I don't want 9 extra emails!.
Staff great, rooms really good and quiet considering the location.
It would be good to get all the Sky TV channels for the amount charged. I.e it was missing Channel 7,17,21 etc.
We spent 2 nights recently and found everything to be excellent. The room and location was beyond our expectations.
We had room service and breakfast in the restaurant. The food was excellent. A truly enjoyable experience.
I had a lovely lady at the front desk when I checked in. Professional & polite even with my late evening check-in. Room was great - clean tidy & well presented! I enjoy my status at The Sands, thank you!
Absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back!!! Bed was super comfy and the room was so quiet!!! Perfect location to everything!!! 10/10

AAnonymous UserWe had a wonderful stay at Sunlit Bay Villas in Taipa. The space is great, very comfortable to stay in, and the location is excellen. The villas were spacious, clean, and very well equipped.
The internet connection is a bit weak, but if this is not a major issue for you, it does not affect the overall experience.
Overall, we highly recommend Sunlit Bay Villas to families and groups of friends, especially as a stop when travelling to Cape Reinga.

GGuest UserStaff were super friendly. It was a good price for good accommodation, within walking distance from the beach, restaurants etc. Small things could have earned a full 5 star rating such as extra pillows as ours were a bit flat, having more toilet paper as 3 rolls single ply for 4 people on a 5 day trip didn’t cut it, but overall a good experience. The laundry was a bit dated so we ended up using the laundromat down the road, and we had no idea where the gym or restaurant was which would have been nice to have been informed of when we checked in.
AAnonymous UserA good place to break one's journey from Paihia via opinoni and waipoura forests back to Auckland. Dargaville is a small town with several Asian restaurants (recommend Suphan Thai in town) and a Woolworth's. This motel is located in the suburbs - a quiet and peaceful area away from traffic. Was surprised that the unit came with a kitchen (stove, fridge microwave oven) even though the room description only mentioned a LCD TV. WiFi was functional but slower than other places. Bedding was good. We couldn't find a hairdryer in the room.
MMyrkStyrStayed for 2 nights with wife and 8 year old son. The staff was super kind and welcoming. Our suite had amazing wraparound views of the bay. Parking spot was free and right next to our suite. WiFi was a bit spotty. Comfy bed. Walk to the beach was 10 min. Wonderful cafe in 2-3 min walk. The town was beautiful as well. Short drive north to the hot water beach was fun. I really liked this place. We made sure to clean up and do our dishes as note said extra fee if you left dirty dishes. Would highly recommend.
AA.V.Lal20We stayed here for one night as a couple traveling down to Whangarei for an eye appointment. The location is absolutely excellent, and the eye clinic was conveniently just a short walk away from the motel. The on-site amenities were quite good, but unfortunately, the customer service was poor and the overall cleanliness of the place was only average. While the location is incredibly convenient for medical visits, the service and upkeep definitely need improvement.
TTrishwilsonThe accommodation was clean and tidy. The food in the restaurant was very average for $59 per head.
Wasn't a very good selection. What they had was more Indian tastes.
Would like to see more local māori culture within the work environment.
