Staying at Quest Newmarket Serviced Apartments has been a consistently great experience. The apartment is incredibly well-equipped with all the essentials I need for a comfortable stay—kitchenware, cleaning supplies, bedding, and everything in between. It feels like home away from home, especially since I didn’t have to bring much extra. The location is fantastic—just a short walk or quick subway ride into downtown Auckland, and there are so many restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby. I never had to go far for food or daily needs. The unit itself is spacious, thoughtfully laid out, and quiet, making it perfect for relaxing after a long day. Clean, convenient, and affordable—this place delivers on every front. I’d definitely recommend it to friends and family, and I’ll be back again soon.
Staying at The Bays Bed & Breakfast in Auckland was an absolute delight. The room was spotlessly clean, cozy, and filled with natural light—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The host, originally from Fiji, was incredibly warm and welcoming, sharing stories about his culture and local life with genuine enthusiasm. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. I especially loved the homemade jam and fluffy pancakes. The location is fantastic, just steps away from the waterfront, making it ideal for morning walks or watching the sunrise over the bay. With its friendly vibe, attention to detail, and unbeatable charm, this place offers amazing value. I’d happily return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Auckland.
Staying at Parklane Motor Lodge was a fantastic experience. The hotel is incredibly quiet, making it perfect for a peaceful getaway. The only minor drawback is the lack of an elevator, but since the building is low-rise, walking up the stairs isn’t an issue. What really stands out is the convenient location—there are several supermarkets nearby, so grabbing groceries or snacks is super easy. Plus, it’s just a 15-minute walk to One Tree Hill Park, ideal for a morning stroll or an evening hike with great views of Auckland. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, this place offers excellent value for money and a relaxing atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Auckland who wants a quiet, hassle-free stay.
We booked a superior suite with a king bed through the platform, but after checking in, my son mentioned he’d prefer two separate beds. The host was incredibly accommodating and upgraded us to an executive suite with two beds—perfect for our needs. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and the kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals during our stay. I loved the layout and comfort so much that I extended our stay by two additional days. It truly made our trip to Auckland enjoyable and stress-free. The location is excellent—close to public transit and all the city’s highlights. This place offers great value and a home-like atmosphere. Definitely a top pick for future visits.
I accidentally left my wallet behind in the room after checking out on March 10, containing Australian cash and a bank card. When I returned to the hotel the next day, it was still safely there waiting for me. A special thanks goes to a young male staff member who worked on Sunday—he patiently listened to my story, took me back to the room, and helped locate the wallet right away. His kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s rare to encounter such genuine care from hotel staff, especially when no one was expecting anything in return. This experience made my stay memorable not just because of the comfortable rooms or convenient location, but because of the people who made me feel valued. The entire team deserves recognition—this level of service is exactly what makes a great hotel. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending Ellerslie Palms Motel to friends and family.
Staying at Andelin Guest House in Devenport was an absolute delight. This charming period property feels like stepping back in time, with elegant details throughout. The host couldn’t have been more welcoming—warm, friendly, and always ready to help. Our room (Room 1) was spacious and beautifully appointed: the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the huge bathroom featured a stunning rolltop tub that made for perfect relaxation. Coffee and tea are available anytime—perfect for early mornings or late-night cravings. Location is fantastic—just a short walk to town, great restaurants, and the waterfront, where you can easily catch a boat to Waiheke Island. It’s a dreamy escape for nature lovers and city explorers alike. Truly a standout stay.
I was really disappointed with my stay at Peace & Plenty Inn in Auckland. The property used to have a peaceful, green atmosphere, but the owner removed nearly every tree around the house—front, back, and sides—leaving behind a barren, lifeless space. It's heartbreaking to see such a once-beautiful spot stripped of its natural charm. The owner seems completely indifferent to neighbors and the surrounding environment, showing no regard for sustainability or community harmony. I can't believe someone would prioritize personal preference over preserving green spaces in an urban area. While the location is decent and the price is fair, the lack of respect for nature and the neighborhood makes this experience far from enjoyable. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who values peace, greenery, or responsible hosting.
Staying at Novotel Auckland Ellerslie was a fantastic experience—perfect for families! The room was spacious with two generous 1.6-meter beds, making it ideal for a family of four (two adults and two kids). One of the highlights was being able to order breakfast right in the room—warm, delicious meals delivered straight to us without having to leave the comfort of our space. It saved so much time and added a real touch of convenience. I also appreciated the self-service laundry and drying facilities; grabbing tokens at the front desk was simple and super practical, especially when traveling with multiple outfits or needing to freshen up mid-stay. The hotel is quiet, well-maintained, and located just a short ride from the city center via public transport. With such great value, excellent service, and a homey feel, this place truly stands out. I’d definitely book here again.
We had a wonderful weekend family getaway in Auckland, and choosing Waipuna Hotel & Conference Centre through the platform was one of our best decisions. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Sylvia Park shopping area, making it super convenient for dining out and picking up essentials with kids. I booked the most budget-friendly twin room, but it was surprisingly spacious and came with a bathtub. The view from the window was stunning—sitting by the window with my daughter enjoying afternoon tea while watching the sun rise was such a peaceful moment. The hotel sits right beside a beautiful lake, and just a few minutes’ walk leads to a lovely lakeside playground where our little one could run around and burn off energy—definitely helped her sleep better that night. Breakfast is served in a lakeside buffet setting with great views. While the variety isn’t on par with high-end hotels back home, it’s actually quite generous considering the price point. Fresh fruit, pastries, eggs, toast, and coffee—all satisfyingly good. Overall, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming, staff are friendly, and the whole experience felt authentic and relaxing. A real hidden gem in Auckland, and I’d definitely come back.
Staying at Braemar on Parliament St felt like stepping into a real-life storybook. This beautifully preserved colonial-style townhouse in central Auckland exudes charm from the moment you walk in—every corner, from the living room to the bedrooms, is filled with vintage elegance and character. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s an immersive experience of Kiwi lifestyle. Though some rooms have shared bathrooms or only partial privacy (with screens), cleanliness was spotless—each space was meticulously cleaned daily. The host, a warm-hearted local elder with a sharp wit and endless stories, made every interaction feel personal and genuine. Breakfast was a highlight: a classic English spread with fresh salads, toasted bread, homemade jams, and perfectly cooked eggs and bacon tailored to your preference. What stood out most? The world map by the dining area, covered in pins from guests across continents—it’s proof this place truly feels like home away from home. Located on a quiet street just steps from the university and a peaceful park, it’s both serene and incredibly convenient for exploring the city. If you’re after authenticity, comfort, and a touch of old-world charm, this is a must-try. Just be aware: if you expect modern amenities and full en-suite bathrooms, it might not match those expectations. But for a unique, heartfelt stay, it’s absolutely worth it.
The three-bedroom room was spacious and incredibly comfortable, making it perfect for families or groups. What stood out most was the excellent value for money—this place offers so much for the price. Right across from the hotel is a serene rose garden, where I enjoyed morning coffee surrounded by blooming flowers. It's also just a short walk to the waterfront, ideal for a relaxing stroll along the shore. The only downside is that it’s a bit farther from the airport, but the local transport links are solid—public transit makes getting into the city quick and easy. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, contributing to a very pleasant experience. Overall, this is a fantastic choice if you're looking for comfort, charm, and a peaceful atmosphere without breaking the bank.
Staying at Aachen House Boutique was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Westfield shopping centre and Mt. Eden, with countless great restaurants just one block away. The neighbourhood itself feels safe, quiet, and full of charm, making it one of the most desirable areas in Auckland. The owners are genuinely warm and welcoming—so kind and thoughtful, it feels like staying at a friend’s home rather than a hotel. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and well-appointed, offering a perfect balance of comfort and style. If you're looking for a unique boutique experience with a personal touch, this place is a must-try. I can’t recommend it enough—there’s something special about every detail here that truly makes your stay unforgettable.
