Lodging business in Auckland

“I had a great experience here. The walk from the Intercity Bus stop to the hotel was quick and easy. I noticed upon arrival that there wasn't a ramp to get up, but during my stay upon leaving my room for the night I did notice a ramp. The service was amazing, the vibe of the hotel was really cozy, I ate at the Vie restaurant on the night I arrived, I had a delicious three cheese pizza and a tequila sunrise. I also added the buffet breakfast to my stay, it was very nice, they had a decent array of breakfast foods. The Chia pudding could of used more flavour, as I only got flavour from the fruit. The mushrooms as well could of used a bit more flavour, but other than that every thing else was yummy as!. My room was good, although it had a view of an apartment complex, but that's what you get when you're staying in the middle of the city. The amenities were great, having a coffee bar was good as I always need a coffee. Especially when I come back from a day of walking around the CBD, I can chill and have a coffee. The only confusing thing about the room, is that with the lights, you need to put your hotel keycard in the little slot next to the door, it was confusing for me for about a minute until I figured it out. Another downside I would say is the payment options when you book, so for me I like to pay in advance, they did give that option but you just had to pay the booking fee, and then you pay the rest upon your arrival. I had to email them about this, as when I checked my bank only $100 got taken out, so make sure you have money saved up upon your arrival. Other than that, I had a wonderful stay, thank you to the staff and the cleaning staff for your amazing work, and I hope to come back and stay again another time. - Tiegan C”

“Lovely room with a view across to the rose gardens and very comfortable bed. The staff, especially in the restaurant, were very welcoming and pleasant. Meals were good value for money. All in all, a very pleasant stay.”

“We stayed here in December, 2022. The accommodation was clean & located right at the harbour. Downstairs was a host of fine restaurants and night life. Close to the heart of the city.”

“Look by any means this place is not super flash but I think it’s seriously good value. I stayed for 2 nights at $160 a night in the run up to Xmas. Great location, great price and a great big room with a super comfy bed. Also used the pool which was all ok. Remember to take your room towel as the day I was there none were provided. Lastly check in and staff were all good. Remember people it’s $160 NZD for a massive room in the middle of the city.”

“I stayed for two nights while delivering an event nearby and chose this hotel for its convenient location near the rail station—just outside the city but easy to access. The room was comfortable, the bed very nice, and the overall space well-kept. The property is a combined Novotel and ibis, offering a range of facilities. I also appreciated the separate café area apart from the main restaurant—an excellent spot to relax or work between commitments. Breakfast offered a good variety, and dinners were tasty, though a little on the pricey and smaller side. On Saturday night, the hotel offered a $69 NZD buffet, though I opted for the à la carte menu. The staff were genuinely lovely, and their warmth really made the stay. Overall, a comfortable and friendly stay in a convenient location—with a bit more focus on member recognition, it could be excellent.”

“I traveled to NZ to celebrate turning 50. The Oaks was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Absolutely perfect. The front-end staff members were attentive and exceedingly kind. Connor was the first person I interacted with and proved to be an invaluable resource during my week stay at The Oaks property. The staff provided exceptional service and always with a smile and I would like to put their names in lights.... Calen Dylan Ben Conner Willow Avineet Martyn.....Wonderful recommendation on Mad Pot. Delicious. Thanks for making my 50th one to remember”

“This is a great overall hotel. The service is wonderful, staff friendly , it’s clean and the rooms are nice. The highlight for me was how efficient the aircon was and also how beautiful the lobby/restaurant area. I had breakfast here 3 mornings and the food was very decent. Location is good. Very central and very close to everything in Auckland CBD. The only downside for me is that there is no pool.”

“You maybe greeted by Sam. He is fantastic, friendly and approachable. My stay was very comfortable, room was clean and tidy, perfect location (for me),and great affordability”

“We have had a few stays at this motel and we have to say it has always been beautifully clean, sufficiently appointed, comfortable and private. A little road noise at busy times but otherwise quiet and very pleasant to stay. Would def recommend.”

“I will try to leave the most honest opinion possible for future travelers. after having stayed in many hostels in Auckland Hit Hostel is definitely the hostel where I felt the best.. There are inevitably things that can be unpleasant like the fact of not having windows in the rooms, but the spaces common areas completely fill this gap because they make us feel like we are in a large shared accommodation/ Flat where it is easy to meet people because it is a small hostel. the staff and the types of travelers who stay there are great. The staff do their utmost to keep the place clean even if unfortunately the cleanliness of a hostel also depends on the cleanliness of the travelers staying there at a given time and these are factors that we cannot control.. In any case price/quality ratio Hit hostel is the best you can find.”

“Excellent value for money. The host was more than helpful. Sure, the rooms are dated, but super clean and tidy. Location was excellent, only a 5 minute walk to Newmarket shopping and the Auckland domain. Heaps of very good eateries nearby. Definitely worth a look.”

“Have stayed for 3 days when visiting Auckland. Easy to find and easy to get to anywhere in Auckland including the city centre. The owner provides great communication while providing valuable information about the area. The room was very tidy and clean with useful facilities such as a charging station for a mobile phone/watch beside the bed. The owner is always at the premises and provides prompt help if needed. I needed a little help to get some information about the area near the motel and the owner was kindly giving me lots of information with recommendations of the shops. I needed a corkscrew to drink wine late at night, so I contacted the owner, and he provided it without any sign of displeasure, even though it was late at night. Definitely recommend to stay this place when you need accommodation in Auckland :)”

“We checked in late, however, Sam the Manager presented the key to our room showing how to use it. He was very helpful to us in providing a lot of information. Next day, he upgraded our room to a very nice double bed serviced apartment 2E with a nearly new washing machine , dryer, dish washer and mini fridge. The sleep quality was great. The apartment is very clean with clean sheets and towels. There was no mould or insects anywhere. The Heat pump was great and noiseless. The Hotel is located close to everything in the CBD, especially, Sky Tower, Queen st, Auckland ferry terminal and Bus Terminal to go to the Airport. There is a carpark in the ground floor ($25 per night). The Housekeeping staff were amazing, changing sheets and towels every second day. We loved staying here for 2 nights and will stay again in the future.”

“For 135 a night, this place was very nice. Room was clean and spacious for what we needed, the beds were comfortable. We had a good rest before our early morning flight, only a short drive to the airport from here. Would definitely recommend.”

“Great service, excellent breakfast provided with room”

“We went two days in a row, and I personally prefer the first day, I got the bacon and cheese muffin and bacon and cheese toasted sandwich. The reason I didn't enjoy the omelette much was there were items added on the plate that I said not to add. Good price for breakfast, friendly staff and a large menu for different people, along with a buffet (which is next on my list to try), and great coffee.”

“Great motel, spacious rooms, and presentable. Very welcoming desk attendant”

“Outstanding stay. Perfect location - walking distance to city centre, University of Auckland, and car rentals. The staff are absolutely incredible and went above and beyond with everything. They handled my delayed airport luggage smoothly. They helped split my business/holiday charges across multiple credit cards and provided separate tax invoices without any hassle. They made modifying my third-party booking seamless. Spacious, comfortable room with everything needed for extended stays. Fantastic room service and cleaning. Great value for money with very affordable pricing. As a repeat customer, the combination of great location, comfort, and service keeps me coming back. Highly recommended - will definitely book again if ever in Auckland.”

“The location is excellent to access all of the cbd, and especially the ferry terminal which was all of a 5 minute walk. We arrived very early before check in but the receptionist sorted us out with a clean room straight away, which was an absolute god send after 2 days of travelling. The room was good, maybe a little tired but the air conditioning worked perfectly, the shower was good, the room was clean, and the balcony was great for drying off wet bits of clothing!”

“Loved the stay, very quiet, very clean room, really spacious unit for 5. Great kitchen, beds & bathroom Everything catered for our needs. Definitely our new go to place when in Auckland. Excellent price for what we got.”

“All staff lovely especially Thalia really helped me in a hard time. Special thanks to Christine too, so helpful!”

“As a visitor arriving late in Auckland from overseas, the staff went out of their way to make my arrival smooth. Great location—close enough to restaurants if you don't mind the walk up Queen Street.”

“Just checked in for stay accompanied by my wife. We arrived in Auckland abit earlier than expected and staff let us check in slightly earlier which was appreciated. Very impressed, with room super clean , tidy modern room. Good value for the $$$. Great location too”

“Hotel receptionist Smitri was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. Although we booked through a third-party service and didn’t reserve a parking space, she went out of her way to find one for us. She was polite and empathetic, especially considering our situation traveling with a toddler. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, and the room was clean and well-maintained, the kitchenette is a bunos! Kudos to the housekeeping team as well, the room was still serviced even after 5 PM, which we really appreciated. Would love to book again in the future!”

“We stayed at this beautiful place while in Waiuku for a close family bereavement. We rang quite late the first night and it was not a problem at all to arrive in the dark, quite stressed and very tired. Our other accommodation prebooked for the following few days was disgusting so we rang Phyllis and Jim to see if we could return for 5 more nights. Nothing was an issue. They made us feel so welcome and comfortable at a very sad time. The grounds are beautiful and calming. The spa and sauna were a blessing. The breakfasts are yum. The birds, cows, chickens and bunny rabbits were entertaining. We would not stay anywhere else in Waiuku. Can’t thank them enough. Arohanui Lisa, Adrian and Brady”

“We have been booking travel with Caroline at World Travellers in Milford, Auckland for the last few years. She is an excellent travel agent that knows her stuff and she has booked us some amazing holidays and tailored them to our needs as a family. This of course has changed over the years as our boys have gone from childhood into the teenage years. She has always made excellent suggestions and provided us options to choose from.”

“A tropical.paradose in the heart of east Auckland Absolutely amazing place, highly recommended.”

“Amazing service from Island Orewa . I chose a gift online for a friend and they were outstanding. Thankyou”

“A gentle and welcoming place, thank you for having me.”
