Hotel & Motel & Hostel in Auckland

“The Vineyard Cottages are stunning! I spent a few days here with my friends and family before my wedding at Kumeu Valley Estate. The staff at the Vineyard Cottages are like no other, they are incredible! Everything you could think of was considered and they make your stay extra special. You feel like part of the family when you stay there. The rooms are perfect for 2-3 people to stay in and getting ready for a wedding it’s lovely being able to dip in and out of each others cottages. The small extras are such a luxury - mini jams, lovely bread, milk and juice in classic bottles and if you book the bridal package the breakfast platter is incredible. I would highly recommend this venue to any brides and her friends looking for a lovely setting before the big day or for anyone looking for a lovely relaxing escape in the country. An added bonus is the beautiful backdrop for photos! Thank you again Rae, Ellie and co ❤️ we will be back!”

“very nice place for couple who love the nature and not ready for a real camping. Peaceful tent with beautiful scenery. The wifi and cell phone signal not very stable but it's good if you want a place to escape.”

“This was our second stay in the villas. We really like the somewhat remote location (but not too remote), the quiet and the beautiful view from the villas. On clear nights, the sky is incredibly as there are not many other locations around. There are lots of birds to watch, and some are not even very shy. The villas are well equipped, nicely decorated and we appreciated the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge during our current stay. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious and provides wonderful bathroom products. We would definitely choose this location again. There are two things that might be worth improving: 1. The pool is always covered to avoid having to deal with falling leaves in the water. You have to uncover it any time you want to use it and cover it again after use. As a guest, this does not come across as very welcoming and it would be more convenient if someone to opened it in the morning and covered it at night. 2. If you stay for more than one or two nights, it would be nice if someone would exchange towels or bring extra towels and take out the trash. We did not expect that there was no service at all during our stay and this should be communicated more clearly.”

“The hosts, Bryan and Margaret were wonderful...! They would go the extra mile to accommodate their guests wants and needs. The facility and the rooms were very clean, and the beds were of good quality and very comfortable. Breakfast was always a pleasant experience with good food and conversations with the other guests that might last a couple hours. A very personable experience. The only down-side was the distance from the airport. Cab fee is spendy, but with a call, Miss Margaret may be able to make less expensive transportation arrangements.”

“I love this place. It's been a few years since I stayed, and wow! The refurbishment of the rooms are incredible. It's the cleanest newest tastefully designed decor I have experienced in a long time.”

“We had the most fantastic experience at Mudbrick - I highly recommend visiting! Brooke did our tasting, she was so friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. The wine was absolutely delicious (we went for the “Waiheke Tasting” and we loved all four of the wines). We sat outside, the views were incredible across the island and Auckland in the background. The waiting staff were friendly and the food was absolutely delicious and so aesthetically pleasing. The foccacia was the best I’ve ever tasted!”

“We stayed at Cordis for a girls’ night and it was exactly what we needed. From the moment we arrived, the staff were so welcoming and the whole place felt relaxing and calm. The facilities are fantastic – the rooftop pool was warm and we honestly felt like we were on vacation. Our room (21713) had a stunning view looking out over the city, the Sky Tower and right across the water to Rangitoto. Such a lovely stay and a great spot for a little getaway in the city. Would happily come back again”

“Staying at Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour was a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived the staff were warm and welcoming. The location is perfect with beautiful waterfront views and easy access to restaurants and the city. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to make us feel special. The housekeepers even gave my son a free KitKat which made him so happy. Small touches like this really made a difference.”

“Our family had a fantastic stay at The Sebel Manukau. We loved the accommodation—the suite was very spacious, providing plenty of room for all of us to relax and feel comfortable. ​The good breakfast was the perfect way to start our day, and we especially appreciated how incredibly welcoming the staff were throughout our visit. For travelers, the location is ideal, offering a quick and short driving distance to Auckland Airport (AKL), which made our morning departure absolutely stress-free. Highly recommend!”

“I have had 2 positive experiences at Pet Doctors with Linda. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout Draco’s consult for his recurring skin allergies. Not only was she thorough in examining him and explaining possible causes and treatments, but she also made sure to check in with me, answering all my questions clearly and patiently. It’s wonderful to have a vet who combines expertise with genuine kindness. Highly recommend Linda and the Pet Doctors team!”

“This is our second timing dining at The Oyster Inn... and it once again did not disappoint! Our meals were amazing around the table... I was recommended the crudo and it was absolutely beautiful... followed by the Crayfish Linguine which was also fab! Around the table our group was super happy with all our meals and the drinks were pretty good too! But deserving of special mention, and I feel terrible for not catching his name, was our lovely Italian waiter. He honestly made it feel like we were dining with a friend as he was so helpful, fun and attentive! What an asset he is... thank you so much for a great evening!”

“Great service, helpful staff, convenient location! Unit was clean and tidy the shower pressure was amazing!!”

“Friendly, quiet, and clean, close to Kohi Beach. We have stayed here often. Perfect for couples, or for families as you can fit up to 4 per unit. The owners are so friendly and helpful!”

“We came for a wedding & it is a stunning room and I thoroughly recommend it.”

“This is our third order. We order magarita, the godfather chicken, and butter chicken. These are really delicious! Dough and toppings are so good! Staffs are so friendly!”

“I cannot thank Vet Andrea and the team at Park Hill clinic for the outstanding care, kindness and compassion shown to me and my faithful little mate Moki last week. They ensured that he crossed the Rainbow Bridge peacefully and were so very kind to me. Well done team.”

“Amazing team and always handled with a smile. My kitty felt relaxed when I went to pick her.Thank you all.”

“Beautiful location, lovely kind and friendly staff. Beautifully clean and tidy rooms. Highly recommend”

“04/09/2025 to 08/09/2025 - Another awesome stay experience. Clean comfortable room and friendly, polite staff. This is definitely our go to holiday stay in Auckland. See you again! ==================================================== Awesome establishment! our stay was nothing but good. The breakfast sessions was a gathering of people from all over the world. Excellent conversations indeed. Overall clean, comfortable premise, decorated with pasifika and local arts and friendly polite staff. Cafes, shops and more eateries only a few mins walk. Auckland CBD is a good downhill walk. Totally recommend.”

“Great location, service and cleanliness will definitely book again.”

“I stayed here the 13th to the 16th of February 2024 with my son. Room 10 (2 bedroom, bathroom and separate toilet). Very comfortable and tidy. The staff were welcoming and easy to talk to. I would definitely return.”

“Booked the new tui cabin for the night to crash after a work do at the surf club. Camp is tidy as, cabin was awesome, Cosy bed, staff very friendly and informative at check in Mint location for those staying out of the area, come and visit”

“Nice place to stay. Had everything I needed: kitchen, washing machine, dryer. Perfect for a few days stay in Auckland. New World is just around the corner to get food.”

“I can’t recommend this daycare enough! I send my puppy to daycare once a week, and she is so excited to go that she pulls me to reception in the mornings and when I pick her up she tears around the corner with a big smile on her face like she’s had the best day ever! I’ve also noticed a number of times she’s tried to shower members of the team in kisses which she only does when she really loves someone ❤️ Katy has always been so flexible like the time I showed up when daycare was closed for Christmas and she still took Lulu for the day or the 6mths that she kept Lulu’s space while I recovered from a head injury. And I love when I get updates at pickup about the friends she played with that day! It is so obvious through Lulu’s excitement, how well she’s taken care of and how much she loves her daycare. As Lulu’s mum it’s really nice for me to know she’s having the time of her life when I’m at work so thank you so much Katy and team!”

“I had a pleasure of staying here for five weeks, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The ambiance of the lodge is simply outstanding—peaceful, beautifully maintained, with clean and cozy rooms that designed to make tenants feel at home. The property managers (Trudy and Eddie) are so kind. They are really helpful. And people living here are incredibly friendly, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable. Everything exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this Morningside Lodge to anyone looking for a wonderful stay even short or long term with excellent hospitality. Hannah”

“We had the wedding of our dreams at Flaxmere House, and you will too if you choose it as yours! Vanessa and her team go above and beyond and make your special day stress free and one to remember for life! When my partner and I visited, we knew this was where we wanted to say our I do’s and spend time with our loved ones. Flaxmere House is a stunning venue with boutique accommodation offerings, 5-star food, and out-of-this-world service delivery. Thank you, Flaxmere Team; you were incredible! Thank you for making us / our guests feel like superstars!”

“Very happy to recommend to visitors to Auckland. Good room with all necessary amenities and a spa bath. Hosts are responsive and pleasant. Off street parking is ample. Lots off local shops and eateries. Easy access to the city, the harbour, motorways and the bridge.”

“If speed was a person it would be the little pocket rocket Leona who we now have the delight of calling our property manager (check back in soon lol) seriously though she was lovely upon viewing the property we were interested in and that same day doing checks and shortlisting people so we didn’t just have to twiddle our thumbs and wait! Amazing service Leona thank you”

“Loved the location of this place! Next to Cafe and 10 mins walk to the nearest mall! Also direct bus services to the city and around and just next to the Morningside Train station! Great if you don’t own a car or a looking for an intermediate place to rent between places! Enjoyed a private stay. Although having your own network would be great and good if you don’t mind abit of husstle and bustle till late as the place bar near by is rather busy on weekends and some weekdays :)”

“Great conference rooms, and services. Always clean x”
