I stopped in the Pukenui Lodge Motel on the way back from Cape Reinga to Roturua.  The room was large and clean, the internet was smoking fast and the bed mattress nice and firm.  The staff of the hotel was friendly and helpful.  This is a pretty basic hotel but worked great for me.  It is located near a commercial pier and across the street from a restaurant, cafe and liquor store.  Great stop for me and if I am in the area again, would definitely stay there again,

Great rest stop in the northlands

Stayed first in February when we incorporated it into a Cape Reinga trip and was sufficiently impressed to repeat the trip this week.
Well sited just above wharf, opposite shop(s) and restaurant, the property also appears to go right to the cliff edge, offering great views over and down the harbour.
Basic but comfortable unit with a nice feeling and everything we needed at what I regard as a very reasonable price.  Helpful staff.

A great stop-over

We stopped overnight here after a trip out to Cape Reinga.  I was expecting a sleepy small village, so was surprised at how many properties and boats there were.  The motel was an older style but spotless and in particular shiny stainless steel in sink and shower base.  Friendly welcome and great advice for dinner. We enjoyed an authentic Indian curry and quiet comfortable night. Outstanding view!

Comfortable and so clean

Stayed overnight on my way up to see the Cape. Fabulous place, room was spotless and so comfortable. It was outstanding. The view of the water and harbour from the grounds was just beautiful.  Pool looked so inviting and tons of space to dine al fresco on the lawn or the tables. Great restaurant and bar and four square across the road. Perfect.

This place is awesome!

Clean, tidy and practical the accomodation is perfectly placed to break your trip to the top or as a base to explore the beautiful beaches and giant sand dunes. The room with TV, fridge and microwave was great. The property perched above the wharf has a swimming pool and a large open grassed area that catch’s the sun. If you are staying, across the road you will find the 4 Square and the Pukenui Paradise bar and restaurant.

Great spot to break the trip to Cape Reinga 

An older style motel but exceptionally clean, freshly renovated. Host gave us the rundown of all food options before walking us to our room.  A generous check-in time of 130pm.  No real negatives other than the shower which had no pressure at all and the 1970s decor.  Definitely would stay again.

Great Stay

This is one of the few motels at the north end of the north island. It is an older motel and probably not refurbished since built. That said it is very comfortable and spacious for what is costs. I am also impressed on how clean the rooms are kept. There is also a pool and laundry, a lousy take away fish chip and pizza is across the street next to a 4 square. I would stay here again.

Very good for where it's at.

Perfectly prepared, spotlessly clean and comfortable accommodation in a standard motel setting with a pool, close to a small shopping centre and restaurant (possibly the last en route to Cape Reinga). Wonderful bay views from a viewpoint on the motel’s lawn.

Good accommodation in an attractive location

We stayed here for two nights over Xmas( even watched the local Santa parade on Xmas eve evening). The location was fabulous on the edge of the Houhora Harbour and adjacent to the wharf. Situated on the main highway across from the very good cafe, supermarket and liquor store in the Pukenui township everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Our spacious one bedroom unit was spotlessly clean and comfortable as well as private and quiet.
we would have no hesitation in staying here again or recommending it to others.

Location, spacious and spotless

We stayed here on a trip from Auckland to Cape Regina. The manager was very friendly and told us all about the surroundings and things to do see and eat, didn't take long but there are plenty of places to visit in the area. We were escorted to our room to find a neat comfortable and clean room well presented. It was a cold night si I looked for a heater only to find all that was available was a small fan heater, but this seemed adequate. I did attempt to plug in the electric blanket, but there was only one power point.
These couple of things did not detract from the peaceful suroundings and the comfortable bed. Definitely stay again.
