Where to eat and stay in Whangārei
144 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Whangārei, Northland — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.
We hold 144 venues in Whangārei — 114 places to eat and 30 to stay. That is more than anywhere else in Northland, and 20% of everything mapped across the region. Nationally it sits 11th out of 1,482 places.
Of the places to eat, 32% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. Whangārei is 4 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 36 cafés, 40 restaurants, 28 takeaways, 6 bars and 4 pubs.
47 of the 114 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are pizza (7), sushi (7) and burger (5). Relative to the rest of the country Whangārei is unusually strong on sushi, pizza and chicken — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.
On the practical detail: 70 publish opening hours (49%), 1 are recorded as step-free, 3 have outdoor seating and 2 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 23% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.
For a bed, Whangārei runs to 30 listings — 4 hotels, 14 motels, 2 b&bs and guest houses, 3 hostels, 2 serviced apartments and 5 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 47% of the town's accommodation.
Places of a similar size — Albany (143), Newmarket (142), Taupō (140) and New Plymouth (133) — average 15% accommodation. Whangārei runs at 21%, much the same, so on this measure it behaves like its peers.
All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 2 of the 144 venues in Whangārei carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
