8.8/10 Excellent! (483 reviews)
The staff at Auckland Airport Motel were more than accomodating when our plans changed last minute and were able to confirm our reservation for alternate dates. Check in was fast and friendly, our rooms easily located and very convenient to have parking on the doorstep for a terrible evening of weather! The rooms were comfortable, well sized and very clean, ideal for our short visit and located very conveniently for an early morning airport pickup. Will definitely stay again for similar flying visits

9.2/10 Wonderful! (52 reviews)
Great place to stay. Not too far drive to central city. Only thing is that we had trouble at first fitting our ute in the garage - managed to get it to fit by parking diagonally. Fast contact when we did have this issue 😊
