"Positives: handy location to airport, modern style rooms with kitchenette, I had a king room (also for wheelchair access) which made it spacious. You receive a swipe card to access the property with its auto gate and auto doors into reception . Side note: You have to pay and pre book a car parking space which is $10 a night. Negatives: Bed comfort low quality and lumpy for some reason. Housekeeping didn’t put any fresh towels in my bathroom so I had to chase them up at night once I realised...

StarLand Stays

Mount Wellington

10/10 Excellent

Starland looks and probably is a remodeled Condo/AirBnb type development, so it has all the usual pluses and minuses that come with it. In other words, expect more of a rental unit type situation than either a hotel or motel. That being said, the remodeling was nicely done, the facilities are clean and secure, the beds are comfortable and best of all it is within a stone's throw of the Sylvia Park Mall. The price is affordable too, so if you want a no-frills and budget-friendly apartment unit...

ASURE Aveda Motor Lodge

Pukekohe

10/10 Excellent

The facility was fantastic, and the staff were even better. It was a very nice surprise. The location is perfect for anyone that wants to be just outside the traffic of Auckland, with a head-start to Hobbiton. The staff were exceedingly kind and helpful. They made it very simple to arrive in the middle of the night. They also went well out of their way to help us out of a jam that could have ruined our trip.

Joe

A modern living room with a flat-screen TV, sofa, and coffee table. A large sliding glass door leads to a balcony with a city view.

Fernz Motel & Apartments Birkenhead

Birkenhead

10/10 Excellent

2 bed suite was perfect for our family of 4. Great views of the city. Awesome location and within minutes walking distance to many amenities: supermarket, cafes/restaurants, library, indoor entertainment centre, mall etc. Clean, comfortable, quiet, well resourced mini kitchen area and full sized fridge freezer. Washing and drying facilities in apartment. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend for other families.

Emerald Inn

Takapuna

10/10 Excellent

Selected "The Emerald Inn" via internet and it was everything and more than we expected. We spent a week there and it was just what we wanted and needed. The room was very clean and had more than what we expected - range, dishes, etc. It was within easy walking distance of a gorgeous beach, a fantastic restaurant - The Cafe and Bakery. We chose not to rent a car and where able to explore Auckland via bus and ferry as well as other sites. Transportation system makes it easy to get around. ...

Botany Palms Motel

East Tamaki

10/10 Excellent

Alert! The motel does not have laundry facilities as stated in the hotles.com listing. It has a laundry service. There is a nice self-service laundry about 10 min. drive from the motel. Now to the meat. Very clean and recently refurbished. Comfy bed and a kitchen in the unit. The lady at the reception desk is very friendly and helpful. Shopping and restaurants close by and a 25 minute drive to the airport. This property is a very good value for the money.
