Lodging business in New Zealand

“We stayed overnight for a local event. It is in a good location for local eats, easy access to Hamilton city centre. While dated, everything was in order and clean. The couple who run it were friendly and helpful. Our son noted that it is in an excellent location to go to Waterworld, although we didn't go there on this trip.”

“A well run lodge. You need things like sheets, blankets, towels, toiletpaper and cooking utensils are all needed. Some rooms have showers and toilets while other single ones don't. However there are communal showers and cooking facilities. I have been here 4yrs and find it comfortable.”

“Lovely Convenient Location, Lovely Service; Lovely Staff, Clean and Comfortable, Has it’s Own Fridge, Microwave, Dishes, Cutlery, Iron for the Clothes, Wifi and Tv, a Fan and Dehumidifier, a Lovely Pool, Towels and Other Condiments. Quiet, and kid friendly. Lovely for a Couple Retreat. Highly Recommend.”

“Absolutely welcoming host who made sure my dog could stay with me – really appreciated that! The kitchen was super functional and the space itself was a great size. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend!”

“Room was clean and good sized. They took a deposit but I had never stayed there before and given it's proximity to the stadium they probably have some rowdy guests so the policy is understandable. Nice bathroom. I wanted a budget room and got it. I would stay there again. Five stars because anything less is considered derogatory.”

“The buildings are getting a bit tired however a major bonus was the natural springs private spa (not all rooms) It fills with very hot spring water and if you've got the time it's best to fill it 3 hours before you're going to use it so it can cool down without needing to dilute it with fresh cold water.”

“We booked one night when we were already in the airport. They picked us up few minutes after the calling for 7$ per Person. Nice place, very friendly and helpful staff. ATM, Supermarket & restaurants are nearby. Kitchen with all you need to cook available + free coffee & tea. Laundry + dryer costs 8$.”

“Great experience. Sam, the reception and housekeeping staff where all very friendly and professional. The rooms are comfortable and the shared kitchen is big and very well stocked.”

“There’s a night shift manager who went above and beyond, he helped us out from Australia for a friend who was in DV situation. You saved a life…. Thank you sir! ❤️ You’ll never know how much you truly mean to us. Your company should be proud to have an amazing employee!!!”

““Rowena’s isn’t just a stay — it’s practically a national monument of happiness. The moment you arrive, the birds start chirping like they’re part of a personal welcome committee (seriously, I half expected them to form a choir and harmonize my name). Walking through Rowena’s feels like stepping into a live documentary where the narrator says, ‘And here we find the weary traveler, instantly healed by great food, kind people, and scenery so pretty it should be charging rent.’ Clean? Immaculate. Atmosphere? A holy mixture of laughter, peace, and the occasional bird who insists on auditioning for lead soloist. You don’t just stay at Rowena’s — you’re enshrined in it, like some lucky royal guest inside a monument built to joy. Even the manager Murray has been here lots and is always about to help. Rating: If this was a national monument, I’d apply for citizenship, but I am now a Kiwi””

“Stayed here with family and had a fantastic experience. The rooms were extremely clean and well-kept, and the service was outstanding. Staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend for a comfortable and hassle-free stay!”

“This is a unforgettable motel for me, and it is my first stop of my honeymoon at newzealand. Owner help us to solve the parking issue, he is busy but call his son to help me know how to parking at in downtown, also we have clean and Spacious room, it is a wonderful memory for me and my wife.”

“Really enjoyed this place. Lovely staff, very clean. Felt like a hotel but with hostel amenities as well like laundry and a big shared kitchen. Surrounding neighborhood is a vibrant South Asian community of spice shops, dress shops, and jewelers. Countdown (large chain grocery store), and Kmart are one block away in an indoor mall with lots of shops and food. Good home base to explore Auckland from.”

“I initially only booked for one night. But then I decided to stay another night. The host was so nice and welcoming. The room was super comfy and the bed was even more comfortable! The host offered me a discount for the 2nd day which was amazing! Overall one of the best lodges I've ever stayed at! Highly recommended!”

“I stayed for 2 nights at Takanini Park Motor Lodge and had a wonderful experience. The staff were very helpful, especially the manager who went out of the way to make sure everything was comfortable. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the location is convenient with easy parking. Definitely going to stay here again in the future...”

“Smita was so lovely and accommodating with our short-notice cancellation of the intended 2nd and 3rd night due to medical reasons. She was very welcoming and communication was easy throughout the entire process.”

“Cheap hotel with a great location next to Hagley park. Easy check in and out with a friendly staff. Bathroom looked recently renovated. Bed was comfy and clean. Near to nice restaurants (recommend Thai orchid) and a 24 hour convenience store.”

“Thank you for a great stay! Bed was comfortable and facilities worked well for us in our kitchenette unit. Perhaps a couple more power points would be useful for multiple devices Great central location-easy access to trains, buses and shopping”

“Morning calm Lodge is a beautiful 21 acres to stay in with trees. I like being here.it's quiet. there are nice people here . I have been here for a while and I haven't had any problems here the boss and management are lovely people and easy to get along with and very helpful if it wasnt for the boss and management we would not have a roof over heads.its nice of them to accept animals. They are improving the 21 acres to make it more comfortable for the tenants that live here .”

“Really interested building which has had some pretty important guests over the years including the Queen of Tonga and also the Queen of England. Lovely feel to the place. Very quiet and peaceful. The rooms were a decent size. The kitchen was clean and spacious and the living room area was really well set out and comfy. The hostel is just a couple of minutes walk from Parnell high street which means that you have shops, restaurants and bars nearby. Would certainly stay here again.”

“A place to rest at such short notice I am greatful. I express my Gratitude towards Miss LindaChinese lady lovely caring person who will try & help you if your open about your situation indeed,. Thankyou. My stars are for Short notice Location Miss Linda kind service Thanks again”

“I dont know what the other reviewers got but our room has a new bed very clean bedding, it's very clean, kitchen and bathroom are well appointed. Very quiet esp on a Saturday night. Good parking outside our unit. Yes we had to pick up key at 95 Hutt Road abt 5 properties away that's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. The receptionist was lovely and very helpful. This is a budget accommodation and very very nice for what we paid and rated accordingly against that”
