Location
Needs a little bit of maintenance
The location is excellent
It is very old and run down, water stains, broken windows, wallpaper peeling, windows that don’t close or seel properly, stains on chairs.
location was good. The chalet was very dated however cosy enough for 2 people with only 2 chairs to sit in.
The chalet was getting a bit dated.
Het is een heerlijke ruime studio waar je met 3 personen kunt verblijven. Aardige eigenaren, dagelijks legen van afvalbakken, vragen of we wat nodig zijn. Geweldig!
Niets.
Location was amazing and I enjoyed a sunrise walk each morning with a coffee on my way back to the unit. Our family live in Shelley Park so location was perfect
I thought the cleaning could have been better. We appreciate its an old facility and dust and grime does build up but could have been more attention paid to detail.
Really quiet, comfortable beds and had all we needed for our 2 day stay. Really appreciated that our dates could be moved at the last minute when we had a medical issue and could not travel. Great communication, no problem and so accomodating. Great location to go to Waiheke Island for the day. Bus stop a short walk that takes you right to the ferry terminal.
The room was very heavily perfumed with strong air freshener on arrival. Overpowering and set my hayfever off. I spoke to the manager and on servicing the room the next day, no further spray was used which I really appreciated. Thank you. No other issues with the room.
Stunning beach views Great staff Beautiful location - restaurants
Needs some maintenance work No biggy, just would improve the experience
Location
A little cramped in bathroom for 4 pers. A lot of dust - on top of appliances (fridge etc).
Location
Grounds were unsafe for elderly. Uneven ground and no rails in some places.
Great view. Hospitality good 👍
Utensils dated, decor dated. Requires TLC.
服务挺好的
厕所暖风不能用,然后阁楼上面没有窗帘,早晨一早就很亮,没法睡懒觉了
Location, comfortable
No heating, that we could see anywhere
it’s clean and tidy
The shower tray in the bathroom overflowed in quick time
Amazing Chalet perfect size for just the 2 of us.
Only small issue, very cold downstairs A/C prob in wrong place to heat downstairs
Location
Very small room
On the beach, parking at the room.
location close to restaurant and bleach
nil
Breakfast I didn't know you get breakfast to be honest
Pool was far to cold other than that it's nice
Great Location, comfortable and warm room
The units and complex feels a little tired and could do with some updating and redecorating
Lovely position. Parking outside unit. HUGE bed! Comfortable. Great shower. Very effective heating.
Location was close to event we attended
The space for the toilet was very snug and to get outside around the bed was very tight
Loved the heat pump, soft towels and electric blankets. The beds were comfortable and the room was stocked up with everything we needed for our stay...
The pillows were a bit flat. The tv was a bit close to the end of the beds, maybe it should have been put a bit higher on the wall, so you could walk past it a bit easier
Location was beautiful
Unclean whole apartment We couldn't stay Complained to reception said they would refund Only partial refund 3 months later
Hospitable staff and good service Our luggage accommodated before check in time
None
Clean, good location, nice view from bedroom. Beds were clean and fairly comfortable. Staff helpful and polite. Quite at night. Parking available in site. Shower has a good water pressure. New heat pump in the living area. Short drive to shops cafes in howick and botany Mall etc
Windows single glazing=condensation. Some electrical issues, plugs and towel heater falling apart. No heating in bedroom.
Location to the beach was great. It was quiet through the night even though the motel was next to the road. There were two restaurants within walking distance.
It was tired looking. The bathroom’s floor was wet and slippery, even outside the bathroom, due to a dripping water line behind the toilet. There were patches in the wall behind the handbasin.
Location and spacious unit.
The parking bay could do with paving.
Everything, location was beautiful and shops were just a hop, skip and jump away
Excellent location, room was clean and tidy, friendly greeting on arrival
Room and car parking was very compact, but acceptable.
Great views. Could comfortably have a group in the unit.
Unit needs a bit of a refresh, bit of maintenance required to bring up to scratch again.
Location
Car parking a bit tight
The friendly staff & the location!
There wasn't a rubbish bin in the kitchen area.
We usually stay here when we are in Auckland...the location is perfect for us....close to family. The view and the pool are a bonus.
Everything
Nothing didn't like maybe bathroom a bit small
Location
Shower too small to fit a tall person
Die Lage ist super, Zimmer mit Meerblick.. die beiden Einzelbetten waren ehrlich gesagt sehr unbequem, das große Doppelbett war bequem. Sehr freundliches Personal. Ideale Lage um mit der Fähre zur Insel Wahiki zu fahren
Fantastic location, beachfront, with awesome views. Good kitchen, really comfortable king bed, and good size table and chairs in the dining room, which doubled as my office.
The bathroom is a little tired and could do with a refresh.
The unit had everything that we needed for a short 2 night stay. Communication with the owner was good. Nice location. A front unit would be nice if we stay there again to be able to enjoy the beachfront view!
The heat pump was upstairs and meant that the lower level was considerably cooler. If it had have been downstairs that area would have bee
Great location and beautiful water views. Pleasant staff,lovely gardens in the grounds
Signs on door to lock all windows and doors but ranchslider wouldn't lock
Location, quiet and still close to city
Location
Studio Room was cramped, bed too big for space, tiny bathroom and kitchenette. Will book a bigger room next time on waterfront.
It was wonderful, we stayed in a very beautiful room looking out to the sea, short distance from the takeaways, shop and a restaurant. I will definitely do it again next year
Up stairs above our room was a little noisy but I didn't let that affect my hoilday away. I will still book the same room.
Good location, ok clean
Looking very tired, the room we were in had tape holding one of the windows. Charge you for toothbrush, sanitary products if needed. Windows lots of condensation
Good relaxing vibe after long flight into Auckland, dip in pool helped too after a bit of site seeing
Nothing really maybe alittle dated but that adds a certain feel of kiwis authority
Was like a wee flat and we had so much fun
Loved everything
Location and spacious
Because, the rooms are double deck, the noise of upper rooms could be heared clearly. Also we forgot our headset in the room and we couldn't retrieve it.
It was in a great location and was easily accessible by bus.
Could have done with a bit more space in the studio especially in the kitchen area
The location was amazing. Beautiful views of the ocean
It was quite run down and could go with a huge renovation/do up and repairs.
-A lovely beachside location. - A very spacious King studio room with a sea view. -Shaded private patio -The only motel we stayed in which had an OVEN as well as electric rings and a microwave. The owners should publicise this more! Be sure to drive to the beautiful head of the peninsula for excellent views.
We liked everything. It’s not anyone’s fault that there was a bit of a language barrier which slightly affects the welcome.
location fantastic
Great location.
Very dated interior & exterior.
Waterfront location, parking for each unit, and short distance to ferry that goes to downtown Auckland. Several good restaurants within walking distance. Very large, comfortable units with full kitchen including oven.
Breakfast not included
Room was clean and tidy
Room was very small
Second time staying here.Love the location and the motel is comfortable enough for 4 people.

Location was good. There have good bus services and stops are quite close to the Motel.
Couldn't find a mirror inside the room. Room is a bit small in size.
Very comfortable bed. Well equipped kitchen. Good soundproofing .
Nothing
Fantastic location with wonderful views of the water. Very informative and helpful staff giving great local cafes, restaurants and nearest shopping areas. Very clean rooms.
The main double bed was a little too firm for my liking bu
Friendly reception when we arrived. Room was very clean and tidy. Beds were comfortable.
Only complaint was having to walk sideways past the beds to reach the kitchen and bathroom
The elf catering unit had everything you needed . Great for a family, great facilities and close location to the beach.
Great Location
TV didn’t work no signal so couldn’t watch TV
Great location with a lovely view of the harbour and glimpses of the sky tower. The suite was perfect size for the 4 of us and very comfy. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we had a great stay.
Room is quite dated which wouldn't really bother us but it was also not very clean (hairs of cleaner in the bathroom, sticky bench top in the kitchen, etc... those kind of things you only see at a second glance).
