Quail Café

37A Russell Road, Kensington, Whangārei

The best brunch-spot in Whangarei. It shares a carpark with the Quarry Gardens (a retired stone quarry, turned into a tropical garden by a team of volunteers – well worth a visit) so if the café is super-busy, go for a walk and wait for it to quieten down. Very busy mid-morning on the weekends, but don't let that put you off!

Food is consistently good, ingredients are always fresh, everything is made with love. Keep an eye out for the brunch specials.

W: If the weather's nice, sit outside on the covered deck.

M: My go-to brunch option is the Vege Quail, a generous (and delicious) cooked breakfast.

Station Wagon/Estate

Rent our Mercedes-Benz C220d

This is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz C200d estate and it's one of our favourite vehicles: it's exceptionally comfortable and has plenty of room for luggage and passengers. It's not too big around town, and not too small for longer journeys. It's our go-to vehicle for long-distance adventures.

This vehicle is a diesel and averages around 5L/100km, which is very fuel-efficient and inexpensive to operate. It is packed with safety features, includes ISOFIX mounting points for children's car seats, and a safety net for keeping luggage in the boot/trunk.

This vehicle is reasonably low to the ground and is not suitable for unsealed roads.

This particular vehicle has been smoked-in. There is a faint smell of cigarettes that we have been unable to completely remove, not noticeable while the aircon is running. The price reflects this.
