This motel looks a bit dated when you first arrive and was probably built in the 70s. However, don't let that put you off. The rooms are fully kitted out with modern bathroom and kitchenette.

Basic motel but well situated and facilities are what is expected. Is usually cheaper than the much nicer Emerald Inn. Last time we were there, however, someone was doing some very noisy repairs outside our room in the morning.

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 It was quite a dissapointment to find that is was outdated and not very attractive.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
