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!

It needs updating-in such a lovely area of Auckland, it’s so outdated and ordinary.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!

Dog friendly and clean
Great motel, well appointed. Older style so sound proofing wasn't as good. Dog friendly (at additional cost) but units did not smell of dogs. Only complaint - those of us with extra padding - the toilet was squeezed into a corner with walls either side. Even the less padded members of our group found it cramped.

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.

Room 8 is great. Nice kitchenette with small fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster. Dining area has a table with 4 chairs. Living room has a cozy sofa. Separate bedroom. Bed was comfortable. It was good that we had a fan as the evening was warm. Bathroom is big. Shower only. It was nice and quiet during the night except for a few crickets The motel is well situated. Very close to the beach. Veronica and Ajay are great hosts. Super friendly.

Disappointing for cost
The greeting staff were very good. The room is incredibly small and although has been painted the general condition is tired, dated and not worth $200 a night. Noisy. I had to wash saucepans and knives before I used them. Elbows hitting walls in toilet and shower. Overall - I stay in many motels and this was one of my worst experiences.
