We stayed here when we first arrived in auckland for 3 nights then again at the end of our trip for 2 nights. On both visits the accomadation was clean & comfy. Nice spacious rooms. The hosts were friendly & very helpful. We would recommend this motel to anyone travelling to Auckland. More

We intended to stay two nights but found the position for walking up Ponsonby Road for meals and access to the buses for trips into town very handy. We stayed three nights. The motel is old and a bit tired in places but the beds were OK and the place was clean and very quiet at night. We would stay... More

Looking back at other motels we've stayed in in NZ, this was one of the nicest - featuring a separate bedroom, good kitchen and dining area, and modern furniture. It's a short bus ride from central Auckland; there are shops and bars within walking distance and a supermarket slightly further. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and coped with... More

I have stayed at Acapulco motel almost annually for at least 13 years for business trips as well as personal vacations. I have found the place to be excellent value. The rooms are very well equipped and clean and the location is excellent being only a few minutes from the city centre with regular bus services close by. The Management... More

I have stayed at the Acapulco several times when in Auckland for business. I have always found it to be clean and comfortable with friendly owners and staff. On occasion, there have been minor faults, eg. a blown light bulb, but these have been dealt with in a timely manner when I have pointed them out. I applaud the owners... More

Very clean motel with excellent facilities for the price. Location cannot be better, just off Ponsonby Rd with its bars and restaurants but also within walking distance to the CBD. Helpful staff means we would not hesitate to stay again if we required a high level of accommodation, at the right price in the right, central, location. Dan, Leeds, UK More

My wife, brother-in-law and I stayed here for 3 nights at the end of our New Zealand holiday. This was the 15th place we stayed in, and was the most run-down. The motel was 2-3 miles from the city centre, but the Link bus stopped nearby and called at the main central attractions, departing every 10 minutes. It was a... More

We have just spent a week at the Acapulco Motel in Herne Bay, Auckland, New Zealand. While this motel offered family accommodation they were certainly not keen on families and complained about the fact that we had children with us the whole time we were there. The stove was more than 40 years old and I got shocks when stirring... More
