Waipuna Hotel & Conference Centre

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.

The whole experience felt personal and welcoming, and the hotel’s location made exploring Auckland a breeze. It’s rare to find such a high level of comfort and hospitality in one place. I’ll definitely be returning.

The Bays Bed & Breakfast

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.

Urban Rest Sylvia Park Apartments

This place is absolutely perfect for anyone looking to explore Auckland without breaking the bank. Right next to Sylvia Park Shopping Centre, everything you need—from dining and shopping to a nearby Pak’n Save supermarket—is just steps away. The apartment itself is brand new, spotlessly clean, and incredibly well-equipped with a full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, fridge, washing machine, dryer, and even a hairdryer—everything you’d want for a comfortable stay. Security is top-notch: access to the building, elevator, and your own unit all require a unique code, so you always feel safe. Bonus points for free outdoor parking—huge plus if you’re driving. The only thing to note is that slippers aren’t provided, but bringing your own is a quick fix. Prices are noticeably lower than central Auckland hotels, yet the value and comfort level are way above expectations. Honestly, this place delivers more happiness per dollar than most places I’ve stayed in. A must-try if you're visiting Auckland.

Terry and Cindy's Bed and Breakfast

We stayed at Terry and Cindy's Bed and Breakfast for two nights during our six-week trip to New Zealand, and it was absolutely outstanding—no other way to describe it. The hosts, Terry and Cindy, are among the friendliest people we’ve met in New Zealand. Their home feels warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The room is spacious, immaculately clean, and well-equipped; we even enjoyed a cozy meal inside one evening when it started raining. Breakfast is served family-style and was delicious—fresh, homemade, and full of care. It’s located just a 10-minute bus ride from downtown Auckland, with restaurants, shops, and cafes all within a 15-minute walk. Perfect for travelers who want comfort, hospitality, and great location without the hassle. We couldn’t recommend this place more highly—it truly made our journey special.

Kohimarama Beach Bed & Breakfast

I only had a day in Auckland and needed a place to store my bags while going for a run. The friendly host opened the door right away and even let me continue my training right there at the property—such a thoughtful touch! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach with fresh sea air all around. It’s amazing how much comfort and convenience you can get in such a peaceful spot. I’ll definitely come back if I ever visit Auckland again.

Kohi Family Home- Netflix & Gardens View

I’d absolutely love to stay here again if I ever return to Auckland! The location is fantastic—super convenient for getting around the city, and the room itself is such a unique and cozy space. I especially loved the skylight in the main bedroom—it made watching movies on Netflix feel like a private outdoor cinema under the stars. The only 'issue'? I jokingly asked where the off switch was for the skylight—because it felt so open and magical! Everything about this stay was spot-on: comfort, vibe, and great amenities. A true gem with incredible value. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Auckland.

Regal Residency

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.

Ellerslie Palms Motel

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.
