Never having been to Auckland before my wife and I were uncertain about where to stay after our long haul flight and the fact that we needed to collect our hire car from the airport. We eventually decided on the Grange Motel, it was closer to the airport and would give us time to adjust to our "new" surroundings. We were not to be disappointed, the hotel is all we could have wished for. We arrived late afternoon and were shown to our apartment. Self contained, large and airy, clean and quiet. During our month long touring holiday of New Zealand my wife made notes of all the places we stayed, At first she was sceptical of my choice but had to admit that The Grange Motel came out way above the others.

I was staying at the motel with my 5 kids for 8 weeks it was a awesome time the people were wonderful and pleasant to talk with. U have housekeeping every morning who will refill the tea, coffee,hot chocolate, sugar,towels, toilet paper and shampoo and they also have there own laundry services.

We had a good stay here. The rooms are nicely appointed and clean. The manager takes great care at presentation. Early on we thought it was going to be a noisy location but we slept without issue. Very comfy. The guest laundry facilities were a big plus for us. The lack of pub-style dinner venues and cafes meant we had quite a drive to find dinner and breakfast. Other than that, it was great for our last night in NZ.
