We needed a place to crash before starting our journey south so I had little expectations. The pricing was quite reasonable for a 1 bedroom + foldout sofabed. When we arrived, it was all a pleasant surprise. The photos from their website did not do the place justice! The beds were very comfortable, the linens crisp and the shower was heavenly. We were supplied with milk, tea, coffee, hot chocolate in the kitchenette. The location is opposite a park and in a very nice suburb. Its also close to another nice suburb with very pleasant shopping streets. I felt very 'local' living there. Would not bother looking around for another place to stay the next time I return to Auckland! However be aware that when coming from the airport, stress that the motel is in the suburb of Epsom; we only cited 'Manukau Road' and got directed to the less salubrious end of Auckland that tourists would rather not see...
