Pet 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.”

“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”

“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 !”

“Great view to the sea from the balcony and well priced. Was hoping for more privacy at the private spa pool but it came with bubbles so all good”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 ❤️”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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”

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

“1. Rose Garden Apartments has an excellent location and landscape. If you are unable to drive, I highly recommend living here! Walkable distance to Westfield Albany, supermarkets, banks, swimming pool, and gym. Public transportation is also available within the distance, with 5 different bus lines running frequent services throughout the day. 2. Not to mention the building quality of this apartment. Even though it’s only a 6 story apartment, the foundation quality is surely at its best. The durability will beat any other apartments nearby. 3. Rose Garden Apartments was most criticized in the past for its poor management. However, in 2022, the community committee replaced the body corporate manager and the building manager with the best in town. Rose Garden is now in good hands with Crockers - NZ's largest body corporate management company. Building management is taken cared for by Cadogan Facilities Management. Cadogan is an expert in Building Facilities Management, with highest qualifications and won numerous prizes with what they do. 4.Rose Garden has an amazing community that supports each other like families do. The Facebook page, WeChat group, KakaoTalk group and neighbourhood support page are available just a phone away. Whether it is you have lost or found something, you have accidentally injured yourself while home alone, or you are just a screwdriver away from finishing your home project, you will sure be able to find some help and support there.”

“Nice location, friendly staff. They had all the amenities we needed for our stay. 5min walk from Takapuna’s main areas and beach. Highly recommend!”

“Thoroughly enjoyed my stay recently. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Location is a good walk from the shops but super close to the beach and on the whole quite peaceful. Kitchen set up was ideal for my purposes. Parking was also fine. Would definitely recommend and stay again if I'm ever back in the area”

“Apartment was good, but a little dated. But the plus side, it had everything. For 9 nights it was a home away from home, with the residents being nice, the staff being amazing, and the facilities top notch, having a pool and gym. Laundry services in the apartment and the ability to cook simple items in your room. Located perfectly to make escaping Auckland city incredibly easy when you wish. Would definitely recommend.”

“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.”
