As a couple we stayed for Four Nights, we received a warm welcome and warm muffins.The unit had a queen bed in a generous size studio unit, a small separate kitchen, and bathroom with a shower.The motel is older style but has been refurbished to a high standard.The owner showed me a picture of what it was like when he took the property over in 2014, they have really lifted the profile amazing what hard work a complete repaint and a refurb does. Would recommend this property if you want a quiet well maintained unit close to Papakura.

Really enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Papakura Motor Lodge. Definitely our favorite place to stay in this area. We did not have advance reservations, but the owner, Steve, was happy to show us all the available rooms for us to choose from. The rooms are basic, but very clean and new. We chose a room with a full kitchen, which was very well supplied. Would definitely recommend Papakura Motor Lodge if you need somewhere to stay in the area. (...and the freshly baked muffins that we were given at check in were a really nice touch!)

We stayed here while visiting family and found it had everything we needed. It was spacious and quiet. The owners were friendly (including muffins for us when we checked in). We would happily stay there again.
