Kaitaia Motor Lodge

8/10 Good
"Clean room and washroom, kind and helpful staff, lots of space (room could have accomodated 5 people - 1 queen, 3 twin beds). It also had a kitchenette which was convenient for breakfast. Parking was free and just in front of the room. Overall, for our one night stay, it had everything a guest needed."
