We stayed at this motel over the Xmas period. We didn't know what to expect on arrival but were very quickly pleasantly surprised. The staff were fantastic and really went out of their way to accommodate our needs (2 adults and 5 children). Our children loved the pool and spa and we all enjoyed a good night's sleep on the...

We had to visit Auckland in a hurry due to a family bereavement, this place was the closest to the hospital where our loved one spent her last days. It was quite a dissapointment to find that is was outdated and not very attractive. The pool was covered so we could not swim and the spa pool water very murky... More

Stayed during RWC, very helpfull staff, clean comfy room, place is easy walk to resaurants in Takapuna, good parking.

Good location and a very nice boutique hotel. Rooms were a good size and good amenities. Breakfast included. Restaurant and the room service were both very good and no extra charge for room service. Free WiFi. Good views over the Auckland Harbour and good parking.

We stayed at the Takapuna Motor Lodge for just one night on our journey around North Island. It is clean, quiet and convenient with a small kitchenette and laundry facilities are available on site.

I think I have stayed here about 9 times in the last 6 years.... Its in a great location on the Northshore, handy to the motorway and only a few minutes drive into the city. Rooms are spacious, slightly dated, but very comfortable and ideal for a family which is the main reason I keep coming back. There is a... More
