Situated in Whakatane, The Com Plex Motel features a bar and free WiFi throughout the property. The motel has family rooms.

Complete with a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, all rooms at the motel have a flat-screen TV and air conditioning, and selected rooms also boast a balcony. The rooms will provide guests with a wardrobe and a kettle. We needed a room on the ground floor at short notice as I am currently on crutches, they were so helpful and nice and we got a lovely disabled friendly studio. Everything was new, very clean, large and cosy. I can't thank everyone enough. There is also a good restaurant in the building, which we really enjoyed.

Located in the leafy suburb of Birkenhead on Auckland's North Shore district, FERNZ Motel & Apartments Birkenhead offers accommodation within a 15-minute drive from Auckland CBD. A variety of cafes and restaurants serving local and international cuisine and shopping are situated in the town centre, just 2 minutes' walk from the property. In a cute little neighbourhood with lots of restaurants, cafés, a supermarket and more all within walking distance. We had a car, so getting around was easy; most places in the city like the CBD, Parnell, Takapuna Beach and Albany were about 10–40 minutes away (even with traffic jam). The place had heaps of amenities too: dishwasher, oven, induction stove, microwave, washing machine, dryer, etc. Really felt like a little home away from home. The bathroom floor and towel rack were heated, which was a nice touch, and the water pressure was pretty great. Everything was super clean! The A/C worked well, and the view was great! The air was so fresh and clean.
