Pet friendly hotel in Auckland

“Loved staying here, the people and atmosphere were really nice there. It had a rustic style that gave it a proper hostel vibe unlike some others around Auckland. Place was clean and staff were super friendly. The area is not the best but I never had any issues walking the street at night. The only issue I had was the dryer costs $6 and it didn't dry my stuff, I had to use it twice to get my stuff dry. Apart from that I'd recommend this to anyone.”

“After an initial rocky start with noisy neighbours, the hotel reception shifted me to a different floor. The old room and the new room were identical. Both of them were great and quite clean maybe 9/10. The bed was comfortable, also clean and medium firmness, which I liked. Shower pressure in both rooms were good. Generally, I think this is a good place to stay if you need to be on Auckland's North Shore. Interactions with reception and housekeeping were always pleasant. There were very, very minor issues like the kettle flap was broken, the dryer ran extremely loudly. I was a little embarrassed to use the dryer at night due to the noise. The towels were thin and could be thicker.”

“I stayed at The Grand Millennium for a week. What a beautiful hotel! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms a very clean and comfortable. Restaurant and bar snacks were nice. The upstairs bar has a nice ambiance with the piano man playing, very nice. Very close to the Main Street, City Rail Link, Sky Tower, Convention Centre and Aotea Centre.”

“The hotel was located in the city center. There was an entrance facing the shopping road with an escalator while the main entrance was on a side street with a drop off area. Valet parking service was provided at a charge. But it was convenient especially in the district. Beside the building was a big carpark where visitors could use by themselves. The security level was high since lift service, gym and indoor pool were all accessible with the room card only. The pool was heated and good for exercise. The size of the room was unexpectedly spacious. The balcony had a close view of the Sky Tower which added an advantage to the hotel. But there was a new building under construction and might block part of the scene. Both bathing tub and closed shower area were available in the bathroom. All electric switch positions were convenient for guests. The pantry corner also facilitate boiling water and washing fruits, etc. To better serve the persons staying in such a big room , extra luggage holders could let two or more luggage opened at one time. A clothes stand or a rail to hang the clothes would be perfect. There were many eateries and shops within walk. We would choose this hotel again.”

“We often stay at city of sails as it is close to our children's house, but it is also a lovely motel. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The beds are very comfy and the rooms are nicely decorated and clean.”

“My favourite place to stay when going to Auckland. Great management, nice and clean, very helpful ( when I rocked in with my trailer, the hotel manager Gotham was so accommodating). Plenty of good eateries at walking distance . See you again soon”

“I’ve traveled extensively across the North Island, staying in various accommodations, and this motel stands out as one of the best my family and I have experienced. The customer service was exceptional, far exceeding my expectations. From the kind owners who regularly checked in on us, to the friendly and respectful cleaning staff, every interaction was a pleasure. This motel is ideal for a wide range of travelers, whether for business or leisure, families, tourists, or couples. I’ll definitely be staying here again during my next trip to Auckland. Its central location, close to shops and bus routes in both directions, is incredibly convenient, and having a washing machine and dryer on-site was a real bonus. The grounds were well-maintained, and the owner took great care in keeping the gardens and lawns pristine.”

“We loved our stay at the Mini Homestay. It was our family's (2 adults & 2 children) home for 17 days. Our Hosts Tracey and Lin were very helpful and knowledge. They went out of there way to help us get settled in NZ. Tracey even gave us proof of address so we could open bank accounts etc. Her home stay is conveniently located close to the bus stop which takes you to the mall or CBD. Her homestay is clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend this awesome home stay to all my friends!”

“LOVE Orewa Beach Holiday Park! Such a great location, great bathrooms and showers. Lovely games room and kitchen. Always a great visit!”

“Great value and plenty of space in rooms to move around easily. Lovely big bathrooms with good sized showers. Appreciate their 11 am check out time.”

“Highly recommend staying at this immaculate property. Perfect location for Rainbows End, only $10 in an Uber. Warm, welcoming place, luxurious carpet underfoot and everything is so well done. Unlimited tea, coffee, milk. Beautiful place, restful stay.”

“Top service from start to finish. We stay here every time in Auckland and are always met with excellent customer service, friendly helpful staff and clean rooms with all you could need. We left an item here recently and the staff were extremely helpful in finding it and getting it back to us. Highly recommend!”

“Stunning little lodge near Auckland, and convenient for the airport.”

“Thank you Robert and Marie. We had a lovely stay in the little cabin. The breakfast set us up for our long walk ahead ! Enjoyed the animals. Dottie the donkey enjoyed the banana skin she doing so well for her age !”

“Friendly and professional staff, very nicely furnished ,well equipped rooms, and an extremely comfortable bed. Most comfortable hotel stay I've had and for a great price. Definitely will be staying again”

“Love this hotel. Located in the center of the city. Lovely clean room and a great breakfast. The staff are so helpful and always have a great smile. The valet car parking is great and you only have to wait for 5 minutes before it arrives at the front of the hotel. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in Auckland. Highly recommended to all.”

“We had our original camp site which was booked a year in advance cancelled last minute for labour weekend due to council pest spraying. After years of planning our family camp, we were desperate to seek urgent accommodation for our large family (100+). I phoned the Clark’s beach holiday park the week of labour weekend and the owners were Amazing! They heard our cries, they catered to our last minute request and had done their best to cater to all our needs and they delivered - truely angels! Thank you so much for your kind hospitality ❤️”

“Spacious room with kitchenette and ensuite and windows. The beds were comfortable. Everything seemed new and clean. There is a lift so you dont have to lug your bags. Staff are friendly. Free fruit provided. They have security keys for the various entry points. Motel is close to the airport and about 20 mins from the city. Happy to recommend them :)”

“15/09/25. Booked a four day stay and wasn’t happy with my initial room so I approached the team who gave me a much better room on a higher floor with a great view of the sky tower. Hotel is in a great CBD location, easy walking to the hospital where I was visiting relatives. Car parking though limited is easily accessible provided you don’t have a car that’s larger than a sedan. On site restaurant was okay. First time I’ve had room service served by a bot, so I couldn’t figure out how to open it to get my food. When I did manage to get it opened, the plates were placed on top of each other rather than on a tray - little bit disappointed. On top of that the advertised meal on the room service app via the TV was not what I was given. So I had to ring the restaurant again to get the remainder of my meal brought up. Breakfast was buffet style - okay choices and did not change on a day-to-day basis. The lady there every morning, who did the coffees was absolutely awesome - big thumbs up to her!! Room was lovely. Aircon was nice and strong and I thought the room size was okay given I am a large woman (size 18) and I managed to move around the room fairly easily. Bed was really comfortable. Would I recommend - overall yes I would!”

“It was such an awesome place to stay with plenty of room! Facilities are great, and so is the central location. Sky tower about 20 mtrs from here. Check in and check out were hassel free! Would definitely stay here again.”

“Very good and warm hostel! I went there 3 times at different times during my road trip and everyone was always welcoming and everything was clean. The lady at the entrance was very kind and warm. Good location and good to have a computer access.”

“I had the pleasure of visiting The Grange in Takapuna, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The restaurant offers a warm and welcoming environment with a modern yet relaxed atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. The staff were friendly, attentive, and created a comfortable dining experience. The food was exceptional — beautifully presented and full of flavour. From the freshly baked focaccia with whipped ricotta and honey to the charcuterie board, the starters set a high standard. The mains were equally impressive; the creamy chicken and bacon alfredo was rich and delicious, while the market fish with squid ink risotto was refined and perfectly cooked. For vegetarians, the pumpkin risotto with truffle peas and goats’ cheese is a standout dish. The beverage selection was also excellent, offering a great variety of wines and drinks that paired nicely with the meals. Overall, The Grange delivers not only in terms of quality food and drinks but also in creating a friendly and enjoyable dining environment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great dining experience in Takapuna.”

“Good location. From the airport, it is a 10 mins drive by car, or one can take either the Yellow Bus (Airport Hotels bus) or the Auckland local transport bus #38 to reach the hotel. Smooth check-in, good breakfast & cooperative staff as well.”

“Lovely stay & Clean room with updated kitchen with all amenities and bathroom was very clean. Wifi was very good & sky channels Also walking distance to Remuera shops / Restaurants / Event center & many more. 5 Star rating Motel.”

“Highly recommended accommodation. Great location (12 minutes Uber ride from the airport), on main arterial roads to Auckland's CBD. Spacious rooms with a well equipped kitchenette (fridge, hotplates, microwave, jug & toaster). Great roomy bathroom with great water pressure in the shower and a separate toilet. Room with all expected modcoms like TV, DVD player (with a DVD library at reception) and WiFi. Clean and tidy. Free on site parking. Best of all - great service from the caring owners. Their generous advice and help were a great comfort in our recent trip to Auckland, where we got 'trapped' during the 27/01/23 floods and airport closure. Can't praise them enough.”

“We stayed here for a night after the recent Pearl Jam concert and would absolutely stay here again. Once we got out of the city and on the motor way it was a quick trip back to our unit. The rooms were tidy and comfortable. Service was fabulous. The motel was easy to find and well situated.”

“We had two lots of family visiting from overseas for our wedding stay here in the last couple of weeks. On both occassions they had an excellent stay! The views from the first floor are lovely and the motel is right on the beach. Easy walking access to convenience stores, the marina and ferry. Would defintely recommend”

“It was a pleasant stay. The manager on site was super helpful and friendly. Close to everything I needed mainly my favourite takeouts, My motel was clean and all amenities worked perfectly. I will definitely be back”

“Excellent accommodation in the centre of Howick. I had a 2 night stay. The staff were warm and helpful. Great communication and they accommodated my late check in too. The shared bathroom was spotless and I had everything I needed. The room was also warm modern and well equipped. I couldn't ask for more. This will be my go to place if staying in Auckland again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.”

“Reasonably roomy suite. Close to Parnell Street with its wealth of galleries, dining and bars”
