I stayed here for 2 nights in May 2012. The room was large and clean and probably better than expected for the price. It comprised a double bed (very comfortable) a reasonable-sized robe, large recliner chair, table with two chairs, a small desk and a kitchenette. The bathroom was clean and had plenty of towels and a hair dryer, plus... More

We visited Auckland for a few days for a friend's 70th birthday and wanted to stay near his house. There are quite a few motels on Great South Road to choose from. After booking I was warned we would hear a lot of noise from the motorway and trains but it wasn't too bad. The rooms are a bit dated... More

Stayed two nights 12th & 13th August - staff very helpful. Bed comfortable and room clean. Located on bus route. Road noise was minimal and no real disturbance. Cons - walls on both sides not really sound proof... snorning from adjacent room kept me awake on the first night. More

I enjoyed my stay - it was quiet, I was away from the main block of rooms down near the restaurant and I really liked my room. The layout was good, most things were there that I needed, or the staff were responsive to providing anything else that wasn't automatically there. The only problem I had was that the staff... More

Spacious, roomy and very clean and tidy (with air-conditioning, an absolute must for steamy days). Plenty of off-street parking. Laundry facilities, very good. Very quiet complex with a restaurant attached, Manager Mr. Laurence Lee couldn't... More

Stayed for 2 nights in Auckland at this motel. The bus stop was just up the road from the motel and so getting to and from Auckland was very easy. Friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Room was clean and comfortable - my only slight criticism was that the kitchen area could be updated....but we managed just fine.... More
