Hostels in Auckland Region, New Zealand

The airport shuttle service was great, and both the front desk staff and drivers were very friendly. However, the soundproofing isn't very good; I could clearly hear even slight noises and conversations from the room next door. It's conveniently located, only a ten-minute walk to the town center.

We just had an unexpectedly delightful experience at the Waiheke Island Motel, so much so that we added another night because we simply couldn't get enough of the place! Our stay began with a minor hitch: arriving late in the evening to find our pre-booked studio room was locked. However, the way the night manager and the team handled this was truly remarkable. They quickly resolved the issue by giving us a significant, stress-free upgrade to a spacious whole house with four bedrooms instead of our original studio. This immediate, generous response demonstrated exceptional hospitality and turned a potential frustration into the highlight of our trip. The motel's location is ideal; it offers a wonderfully quiet and peaceful atmosphere, yet it's in very close proximity to both the shops and the beach. We appreciated the on-site pool and the spa options, and the minute's walk down to the community Saturday market was a fantastic bonus. Our only piece of constructive feedback relates to the spa itself—unfortunately, the cleanliness was not up to standard, which was a slight disappointment. Despite the minor issue with the spa, the exceptional service, comfortable accommodation, and prime location mean we had a fantastic trip. Crucially, the price was quite reasonably priced compared to other places on Waiheke, offering excellent value for money. We will definitely return to Waiheke Island Motel!

The room was clean and tidy, with all facilities in good working order. The bedding was comfortable, ensuring a sound sleep. The location is excellent, making travel convenient, and there are plenty of dining and drinking options nearby. The front desk service was warm and attentive, and check-in/check-out was efficient. It offers great value for money and a wonderful experience. I'll definitely prioritize this hotel next time!

【Amenities】 Self check-in and check-out are very convenient. The hotel facilities are very new, and the room and bathroom designs are quite modern. The capsule room has a mirror and a charging port. However, it gets a bit hot while sleeping, and the exhaust fan doesn't seem to do much. But the room is still very good; there are even hooks for hanging towels, which is convenient. The bed is comfortable, and the soundproofing is pretty good, so turning over in the bunk bed doesn't cause much disturbance. 【Surroundings】 It's a bit far from the main shopping street and the pier that most people want to visit. For dining, you'll need to walk a few extra minutes.

The room was clean and tidy. The check-in staff were friendly, and the front desk clerk even helped me with my luggage up to the second floor (there were a lot of stairs and I had many bags), which was very nice. The common areas are spacious, and there's a TV room and a fully equipped kitchen. The showers and toilets are clean. The surrounding area is lively with convenient stores, and it feels very safe.

I recently stayed at the Tudor Court Motor Lodge in Epsom for a few days, and it was a fantastic choice for my visit to Auckland. The location is arguably its best feature—situated on Great South Road, it’s incredibly convenient for accessing Newmarket and the CBD. The Bus 70 stop is just a short walk away, making public transport a breeze. The room was surprisingly spacious, clean, and well-maintained, providing a very comfortable environment to relax. I particularly appreciated the free on-site parking, which is a huge bonus in such a busy area. Despite being on a main road, the room was quiet enough for a good night's sleep. The staff were friendly and welcoming, ensuring a smooth check-in process. Whether you are in town for business or visiting nearby schools, this motel offers excellent value for money. I would definitely stay here again!

Hygiene: Clean and hygienic. The shower water is hot and sufficient. Service: Free airport pick-up and drop-off service. The lady who picks you up is very enthusiastic. She is the only one who does the front desk and the driver. She seems to be very busy every day. Environment: There are small shops selling snacks around.

This is the best hostel we’ve stayed in! Beds were super comfy, rooms and facilities were clean and well managed, communal bathrooms and kitchens were well equipped and enough for the amount of people so you never had to wait for a shower or for a space to cook!  We enjoyed it so much we booked another Haka House for later in the trip.  Photo of our room which was a private twin (with shared bathroom).

Looked a bit rough from the outside with the room doors opening onto the road / parking area. Difficult to get a pick up from the airport as they work on the assumption you've got a phone that works in New Zealand and can call yourself. Took effort to find information at the airport and call from there - then the pickup took about 30 minutes to arrive. Only got to see the inside of reception - whatever the problem was the receptionist, who was also the airport pickup driver, transferred me to another motel a mile away as the Gold Star room wasn't available. No issues with the other location other than it's receptionist was also it's driver and I had to wait for him to arrive to check-in.

Such a cozy spot for an overnight stay. Upstairs room i got with no balcony access like the rooms on the ground floor but still has the windows to look out on to the park. So check if you are getting the ground floor for patio access or upstairs room window to park views. Quite a noisy street on the main drag in a built up area but still close to the Airport and shopping centre. Room was very well equipped with utensils and microwave. Bed was clean & comfy just needed a couple more pillows to perch up especially for 2 adults to watch TV. Bonus the stand up cooling fan. Bathroom with a good size shower & basic ammenities and a side cupboard to hang clothing. Overall a comfortable stay.
