We only stayed one night at Flames due to visiting Zion Wildlife Gardens the next day.

The service and staff were fantastic. There was only one poor guy on the night we arrived doing absolutely everything. It could have been disastrous, but it wasn't as he was running around like a headless chicken, keeping everyone happy!

The food in Vie Restaurant was extremely tasty and very good value for money.

The only down point was the room. When we arrived early evening it was very cold outside and the room was freezing.

Having said that, the Hotel itself is fine. It is situated in a quiet street off the main road to Whangarei Heads. There is a small strip shopping area adjacent with a Pharmacy, Chinese Takeaway, Corner Shop and a bistro. There is a pub on the corner of the site but well away from the rooms so there is no noise.

The rooms themselves are clean and tidy. They have an outdoor area or balcony overlooking the Whangarei harbour with a swimming pool below. The beds are comfortable with good pillows. The linen is an average quality polyester cotton which is disappointing. The walls are not that thick (despite being made of concrete) so there is the...
