Pet friendly hotel in Auckland

“Lovely host. Great breakfast. Stunning view. Luxurious bathroom. Will return again.”

“So central, easy access to Takapuna Beach and all the cafés. Your own Suite and just YOU!”

“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.”

“Nice comfortable place handy to town. Friendly owner”

“Cracking 2 night stay at this lovely property.”

“Hampton Court is appointed so beautifully, we wished we could stay longer than 1 night. Lots of homely extras for a comfortable stay and close to restaurants and shops!”

“Terry and Cindy were lovely people with a lovely home. Great breakfast and advice about what to see and where to go. The location is great with parking and a bus stop just down the street.”

“Great location, absolutely beautiful house set far back off the road, in a luxurious upscale neighborhood, fabulous breakfasts, the most gracious and helpful hosts, superb amenities and facilities. Not far from the airport or downtown, close to beaches and delightful beachfront towns. No reason to stay anywhere else!”

“Stayed here for a few nights. It's a great little batch with aircon, TV, and an outdoor bath!”

“Amazing hospitality, fantastic value, very comfortable”

“If the place was only magnificent... But he finds all his soul in Carolyne and Ron, and make it a great place. It is a house, with hosts of incredible humanity.”

“I stayed at the Hunua Rise B&B with the host Graham for one day. Dinner, drinks and breakfast, very enjoyable. I'd recommend this to anyone who seeks a quiet yet social experience. Fantastic view & fair prices.”

“We had a lovely stay in the studio, which we found to be very spacious, clean and cosy. The hosts were welcoming and very accommodating - thank you very much to you both!”

“Wow! We would love to stay here again. Muriwai was stunning and Jeanette's accomodations were top notch. Everything was clean and the breakfast was incredible. What a gem of a stay. ”

“What an incredible stay! From the moment we stepped through Alison and Danny’s door, we felt genuinely welcome—not just as guests, but as if we were returning home. We shared countless moments of laughter, cooked and ate together, and even hosted fun gatherings. Alison was always there to lend a hand whenever needed, making everything even more special. I wholeheartedly recommend staying with Alison, Danny, and their lovely dogs and cats. It’s the kind of place you can always return to and feel completely at ease. Lots of love, Alisha & Victor”

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

“Lovely couple. Beautiful surroundings.”

“Visited July 2025 When I searched online for farm stays in New Zealand, I only found extremely expensive options, and most stays were for about a week, so I was wondering if it would be difficult to find for a short trip. That's when I found this place. I contacted them by email and received a reply from Marie. The website didn't provide much information about the terms and prices, but it required a minimum stay of two days, and the accommodation options for this time were as follows: -- $500.00 Accommodation (2 days) $80.00 Dinners 2 days per person $20.00 Breakfasts 2 days per person $20.00 Lunch 2 days per person -- For a basic family of four, I'd estimate it would cost around $1,000 for two days. Prices will likely fluctuate with inflation, so you'll need to check. Other options include: $100.00 horse riding per person $100.00 Harness driving for family I think this might be helpful if you're interested. It's about 30-40 minutes from Auckland International Airport. Travelers should be aware that it's nearly impossible to access without a rental car. The entrance is a little hard to find, but you can access it from Walters Road on the north side. Look for this "189" sign. Marie rents out an entire section of her house for you to stay in. It can accommodate a maximum of nine families (assuming four or five children). When I visited, there were two dogs and three cats roaming freely inside and outside the house. I'm assuming that anyone reading this is interested in a farm stay and loves animals, but if you have dog or cat allergies, it can be quite difficult, so it's best to keep that in mind. The rooms are clean and very comfortable, and the surrounding area is quiet, surrounded by grasslands as far as the eye can see. They have nearly 20 horses, goats, and sheep, and you can even go horseback riding. The landlord, Marie, is very nosy (I mean that as a compliment) and takes care of you in many ways, so if you can speak to her in English, she'll tell you all about life in New Zealand. I also had the opportunity to learn horse riding from her daughter, Jillian. There were no other guests when I stayed there, so I was able to spend about two hours watching the horses being taken out of the stables, grooming their manes and bodies, putting them in saddles, and wiping them off after riding. It was a valuable experience that you can't get anywhere else. I've traveled all over the world a lot, but I've mostly stayed in hotels and never experienced such a comprehensive farm stay. This was a great experience, and it felt like I had a home in New Zealand lol. So, I'd really like to give it a ⭐️10! but I can't, so I'll give it ⭐️5! That said, there were a few things I think you should keep in mind, so I'll write them down here. ・There is a bathtub in the bathroom! However, since it's the same as the toilet and it's the only toilet in the accommodation area, you can't use it while someone else is taking a bath lol. Also, while it shouldn't be a problem in the summer, in the winter, when you wake up at night to use the toilet, the bathroom floor is tiled and quite cold, and there are no slippers. I think it's a good idea to bring some kind of disposable slippers with you. There is Wi-Fi, but it only gets out at a speed of 3MBp and often cuts out, so basically it's best not to rely on it (I wonder if this will improve in the future? Well, maybe Marie wants us to enjoy nature without the internet lol). There are no trash cans in the rooms. It might be a good idea to bring some kind of bag for that. You'll basically be spending time with dogs, cats, and horses, so you'll get covered in their fur. If it bothers you, it might be easier to keep a small dustpan (sticky carpet cleaner) with you to clean your clothes. Still, I'm still giving it 5 stars, so if you're interested, please contact Marie!”

“Excellent attention and predisposition to help you! Excellent breakfasts!”

“Had a great stay at this hostel. The dorm beds were comfortable and the privacy curtains were a nice touch. Even with the place fully booked for a concert, the kitchen and bathrooms were spotless. Highly recommended!”

“Stayed here for 2 months whilst looking for a flat/work on a working holiday and it’s a great hostel for short or long term stay. Very clean, good value and has a very homely, friendly atmosphere”

“Rooms very nice and service was excellent. Our family of 5 were situated above reception and had a balcony - view of beach across the road. There were 3 rooms, separate bathroom and kitchen. Very comfortable place to stay. Walking distance to town, approx. 10min walk.”

“Great location and nice motel. Some things could go with a freshen up. But overall good value for money. Only the bar chairs at the table are not suitable as to high and my legs would touch the table. Besides of that very lovely staff and all amenities provided in the room (towels, soap, shampoo, milk, coffee, tea & hot chocolate). Thanks.”

“Very comfortable motel with very kind and helpful host.”
