Kia ora travellers

If you’re travelling to Whangārei for the King’s Ultra Backyard Marathon or Northland 100, we’d love to host you at Wolfe Street Accommodation.

We’re Annalise and Hayden from The Stay Collective, and we provide comfortable, central accommodation designed to make your race weekend as easy and stress-free as possible — whether you're racing, supporting, or travelling as a team.

Why Wolfe Street works for race weekend:

• Quiet, comfortable rooms for quality sleep

• Fully equipped kitchen (ideal for nutrition prep)

• Spacious lounge areas to relax between efforts

• Secure onsite parking

• Central location, minutes from supermarkets & key spots

Room options available:

• Private Queen Rooms (ensuite & shared bathroom options)

• Twin King Single Rooms (2 separate beds)

• Flexible setups for teams and support crews

• Exclusive-use bookings (up to 30 guests)

Here is a quick little walk through video of the property

Exclusive athlete offer:

Enjoy 10% off your stay when booking direct with us for event dates.

HOW TO BOOK

Simply email Annalise with:

• Your dates

• Number of people

• Preferred room type (private / twin / group)

We’ll come back to you with the best available option for your stay.

If you're travelling with a support crew or team, we can help keep your group together and make the whole weekend seamless.

We recommend booking early as availability is limited around event dates.

We also have a small selection of additional properties in central Whangārei which you can also book direct with us — including
