Our host was wonderful! We flew in from the US and she was able to get us into our room early so we could recoup after the long flight before heading into Auckland center to see some museums. Access to everything was easy from here and the coastal road is especially beautiful on a clear day! Would definitely stay here again if we’re back in Auckland!

A hidden gem! During a recent trip to New Zealand to visit family, we stayed at the Aarangi Motel on several different occasions, each time in a different room. Every room was very clean and well appointed, with great quality, comfortable bed linen and towels and lovely toiletries. The motel is just a couple of minutes walk to the beach, and set in a quiet location. We enjoyed walking to the bars and eateries in Mission Bay, just a ten minute walk around the bay. We loved the retro feeling of the motel, which made a welcome change from soulless, bland new accommodation that seems to be the norm these days. The hosts are fantastic, very friendly and made us feel very welcome every time we returned. We will definitely stay here again on future trips to New Zealand!

Disappointing for cost

The greeting staff were very good. The room is incredibly small and although has been painted the general condition is tired, dated and not worth $200 a night. Noisy. I had to wash saucepans and knives before I used them. Elbows hitting walls in toilet and shower. Overall - I stay in many motels and this was one of my worst experiences.

We loved the location so close to the beach. The neighbourhood is pleasant and felt safe. Access to the garden and a small outside area with table and chairs was very pleasant. The motel is clearly from a bygone era – this added some quirky charme, on the other hand despite some modernisations the place is fairly tired and needs a lot of tlc. While the place is mostly clean, there were small ants, and some missed dirt in hard to reach places. The hot water pressure was very low and made for a decisively disappointing shower experience. The friendly and welcoming manager sort of makes up for the shortcomings with her friendliness but there's only so much she can do.
