I've never been welcome in a motel so nicely : with a huge smile and muffins ! The room was clean, very well decorated and the bathroom was very bright. You can make your laundry for free (with free powder) and free and unlimited wifi (very rare in motels in new zealand). I'll definitely come back !

the best accommodation experience we have ever had. Bernie made us muffins for when we showed up and she put our washing in the dryer when we went out. Wow! Such fun. There was a cute little teddy on the bed and the towels were all neatly folded.

We were lucky to spend the first and last nights of our March 2013 North Island trip at the Grange. Bernie & Pat are terrific hosts - not only did we have the hot muffins but Bernie loaned us a cooler bag to use on our 8 day car trip - most appreciated! Very convenient to the airport and super...

Wow...I was so impressed with the hospitality here. We were tired and cold and thought we liked the look of the place from the outside...I rang and asked if there was a room for 3 and was told yes...so we drove on in. Then we met Pat and he said to me...come and have a look first..just to see if... More

We only stayed the 1 night before flying out of Auckland but couldn't fault the place. Bernie (and the dog) gave us a very warm welcome, enhanced by muffins and we had an excellent if brief stay. The location is great for the airport, but also for outer Auckland and there is free wi-fi as well. Next time we're in... More

Visited while holidaying in New Zealand from Australia. This place is home from home. Nothing was too much trouble for the fabulous hosts - Bernie and Pat. They arranged all manner of things for us and even offered us books to read on our journey. Located south of Auckland, we found it convenient with easy parking. Rooms are very well... More

We stayed for about four nights while in Auckland for a friend's wedding. The owners are fantastic, very friendly and helpful and the muffins on arrival were scrumptious . The rooms were comfortable and clean and the TV, DVD and kitchen facilities were good. The shower and toilet area was small, but tidy and quite adequate. With a rental car... More

We stayed for two weeks touring the North Island of New Zealand. The Grange Lodge Motel was by far the best accommodation and service I've ever experienced.

This is a real gem!!! It has everything you need and more (free unlimited wi-fi, bathroom scales, teddy bear etc.) Spotlessly clean premises. Pat and Bernie are the best hosts you could wish for. Genuinely warm, friendly and welcoming couple, who obviously take pride in everything they do. They simply could not be more helpful. No wonder they collected all... More
