Fantastic for families with outside dining. Stayed 2 nights and was great that clean towels provided each day. Suggest melamine dishware for safety with little kids
Property is located conveniently between the city and Hobbiton movie set. Not too far from the city, about 20 min drive. Friendly staff at the property.
The property has inexpensive laundry facility and parking is easy. The owner was super nice. He shared with us the dining places locals go to and offered us free coffee while we were on the way out.

Grange motel had the beds we needed and the kitchenette we wanted. It has a surprisingly high rating for a low budget place. I’m glad we stayed, would consider staying again, but it is a generous 3 star.
Management was excellent and very helpful/friendly.

I booked it because closer to the event. People and their service is lovely.
Customer service was very personal, arrived to some rice crackers and personalised note written on the table. Offers daily refreshments of towels and bed cleaning.
The facilities and rooms were spotless, I'm thoroughly impressed and happy to have chosen this place to stay at!
Easy access to public transport as well, as bus stop is just around the corner of the motel.
This motel is in a great location close to Papatoetoe town center. The room was big and relatively clean. The kitchenette was well equipped with basic cooking utensils. The motel staff and owners were friendly and accommodative to our requests. I would consider this motel again during my next visit to South Auckland.
Good place to stay just out of the city and near the airport. Reception friendly and helpful, good size rooms, restaurants etc just down the road. We’d stay again.

Disliked: Amenities
Needs some updating especially with power connections since there is so much technology devices to attach.
It’s just old!
A little dated interior but very clean and laundry 7 days a week
Close to all locations that we wanted to visit in South Auckland
Would have loved separate shower as its combination of shower and bath.
Staff friendly and will definitely use again when visiting NZ
Nice welcome from owner who showed us to our room and gave us directions to the local shopping and food recommendations. Not needed as were only overnighting to catch a morning flight. 15 mins to the Airport in the morning. Nice and easy. Spotlessly clean. Quiet
