A nice clean and friendly New Zealand motel. We chose it because of the reviews and it's location - short drive from the airport, but close to the city for a morning appointment. It was exactly as the reviews described it. Fresh muffins on arrival, simple relaxed checkin and departure. We were a little delayed and arrived just after the... More

The Service is Incredible! Right from when we booked we got a friendly email from Pat & Bernie asking if we needed any help with planning what to do in Auckland, they kindly sent us an envelope full of brochures which was an amazing help as we found some places we didnt even know existed. When we arrived at the... More

Got to the Grange Lodge Motel at about 2:30am and everything was in place as arranged. Lovely accommodation and super friendly helpful hosts. Made us feel SO welcome! We also got hot berry muffins fresh out of the oven when we went over to settle the account in the morning. definitely recommended! More

We stayed in this modern motel for one night in passing (driving from Northland to King Country) but could easily have stayed more. The room was spacious and well laid out.
