Our host was wonderful! We flew in from the US and she was able to get us into our room early so we could recoup after the long flight before heading into Auckland center to see some museums. Access to everything was easy from here and the coastal road is especially beautiful on a clear day! Would definitely stay here again if we’re back in Auckland!

Aarangi Motel is an oasis. Beautiful gardens, fresh, sun soaked rooms, kind and professional management. 200m from the beach- the friendliest beach I have ever experienced! Whether you stay here on holiday or just passing through, this place is good for the soul. Highly recommended. Thank you AJ and Veronica.

Excellent location, easy walk to beach and shops/restaurants, or a very short drive to St Heliers or Mission Bay. Accommodation was perfect for us and our two children, who had a separate bedroom with two single beds. Always seem to struggle getting accommodation with one double bed and two single beds unless you want to pay extortionate prices. Everything was super-lovely and we're really glad that we booked two nights here.

It needs updating-in such a lovely area of Auckland, it’s so outdated and ordinary. Also expensive for very unappealing interior. Staff were lovely though!

A hidden gem! During a recent trip to New Zealand to visit family, we stayed at the Aarangi Motel on several different occasions, each time in a different room. Every room was very clean and well appointed, with great quality, comfortable bed linen and towels and lovely toiletries. The motel is just a couple of minutes walk to the beach, and set in a quiet location. We enjoyed walking to the bars and eateries in Mission Bay, just a ten minute walk around the bay. We loved the retro feeling of the motel, which made a welcome change from soulless, bland new accommodation that seems to be the norm these days. The hosts are fantastic, very friendly and made us feel very welcome every time we returned. We will definitely stay here again on future trips to New Zealand!
