Quest - Quest 58 Bank Street

I can't believe how quiet it is here! Lovely check in & out. I got confused about where to park so drove around the block a couple of times. A bit of construction work going on outside but overall very pleasant!

The two-bedroom apartment is spacious and provides everything you need, well-stocked kitchen utensils/crockery. Has a washing machine/dryer and dishwasher, and a lush bath in the 2nd bathroom. The studio is also a well-equipped option. The staff here at Quest Whangarei have been amazing and professional, from the concierge desk, security through to housekeeping. I had to stay in isolation until my covid test results came back and they were all so kind and understanding. I highly recommend staying at Quest Whangarei if you get the chance.

Great location. Welcoming staff. Right in the central city. Will be tricky finding parking. It is a drive around the block. If lost ask the friendly staff at the reception. They will explain clearly how to get to the parking clearly.

Matthew the reception/concierge guy is excellent. Really helpful and friendly. Great restaurant recommendation and really takes the time to be interested enough to care and make you welcome.clean room and all you need for a short business trip.great job Matthew.

Very spaciour & well appointed apartment. Very convenient location close to CBD for walking to restaurants etc.

Room quiet chilly but have adjusted the thermostat also no light in bathroom.

Lockdown happened. My home was being rebuilt, a charity group Rep organized a govt subsidy to help with rent. 4 months later I'm still at the Quest. Manager's a friendly easy going guy, very helpful. Any guest showing tendencies towards violence is talked to calmly but told they'll have to leave if they can't tone their altitude/temper down quickly. There are no more warnings. Basically guests are expected to treat all people, however involved with the Quest politely and respectfully. Staff treat guests the same way and they're all friendly, easy to get on with people. Housekeeping crew is great fun. Round the clock security (2 people from an outside firm) not in your face but seem to be on the ball. Most of them anyway. Being resident in a motel in the middle of a city CBD would be magic if only the city wasn't this one. Don't stay here to spend a day or two shopping unless you enjoy shopping for Sushi. I kid you not, a very small Farmers store is attached to this building and a very good second hand bookshop called the Piggery is less than a kilometers walk along the main street. There's very little else of interest for shopping feinds. Sushi every direction you turn with shoe shops selling higher end desirable footwear at top dollar to a population with very little disposable income, same with perhaps 4or 5 women's clothing stores/boutique cum upmarket opshop. The Quest is a nice enough place to break a trip at but there isn't anything worth doing or seeing handy. Probably anyone wanting to see northland would find this a convenient place to stop and plan your moves after a long drive from the South. We have so much beautiful coastline in Northland, plus all the amazing forest reserve land as you travel from a lovely beach to a breathtaking bit of coastline then on to a stunning harbour there'll be bush well worth checking out. Make a point of heading way of the main roads and into the rural areas, see affluent dairying land first but the more remote you get the less developed or more poorly maintained the land gets. A lot of people I suspect, will have trouble believing they're still in the same country they were in a couple of days ago. Northland,in places, like the east cape and the west coast of the South island is you'll find people living in pretty primitive dwellings, living a hand to mouth existence in a way that's little different to life in the 1930s. Oh except now nobody uses their initiative to keep the kids occupied, THE INTERNET gets practically everywhere.

Great facilities, modern and tidy. Central location. Only issue was reception was closed at 8am when we tried to check out.
