The location was good for us but the traffic noise was a shocker. It was relentless and sleep was elusive. We had to request fly spray as the unit was full of very small midge like house flys. They were just everywhere.

Place is very close to the main road and no noise dampening. You will hear cars and trucks drive by all night which will keep you up, it’s like your sleeping outside. No view at all, the name of the place should be changed.

Start with the good points: the lady that checked us in was top notch. We felt immediately welcomed. The staff obviously work hard to keep the place clean. Unfortunately, there is no mention that the property is directly on an extremely busy thoroughfare, under high tension lines, and across from a cement plant and container facility. Noisy? You bet. Big transport trucks loading containers all night. Other trucks using engine brakes as they came off the highway ramp. No AC so windows must stay open. There was plenty of space in the rooms, and they weren’t run down. It is an independently run motel. Still, no view, no airport shuttle (which I knew about, so that’s ok). Good points, pub/restaurant next door a pleasant surprise. Although I didn’t have it, I’d have the fish and chips next time. Looked huge! The district of Onehunga is about a km down the street and we really liked that. I would go back, but I want everyone to know what they’re buying.

Close to my fathers home so suited well

The motel was really very nice, extremely clean and with cooking facilities which is definitely an advantage, the only exception was the terrible noise from the traffic which would be reduced greatly by double glazing, while I appreciate that this is an extremely expensive undertaking I believe it would offer huge benefits and certainly increase business.

No harbour view.

The Hotel was fine and it was close to the airport and freeways but there was no view of the harbour from downstairs. The rooms were nice and clean but not as new as they look on the website. The staff were really outstanding and that made our stay a happy one. Perhaps a 4 star rating and the cost is a bit enthusiastic.

Great motel on a traffic island!

Really good sized units. Rapid response to breakage of shower soap holder. Didn't receive replacements to kitchen and bathroom items used, as I had expected - inconvenient but not fatal. Pity about the traffice noise. I can honestly say I've never stayed in a motel on a traffic island before! Or with a power pylon straight outside our window or with a container dump across the road which was being worked with heavy machinery until very late Friday night! Certainly appreciated provision of ear plugs. Otherwise, it was convenient, friendly, clean and well maintained.

A very convenient place to stay

We got in late Friday night, the staff were nice and had kept the desk open after we'd notified them of late arrival. We didn't have a vehicle with us but they do have parking available and free Wi-fi. The room was well presented and clean. The motorway is a short distance away and it took a little while to get used to the noise. The owners and staff are aware of this and were thoughtful to leave ear plugs in the drawers which we didn't need in the end.

Public transport was available a short distance to the motel but we didn't have to use any. If you are like us and prefer to stretch your legs, it was very convenient to a lot of places and was just 40 minutes walk to our friends' house. Mangare Bridge shops 20 minutes walk south, Onehunga shops 15 minutes north.

We checked out Sunday morning, pretty standard, out by 10 AM. Overall I'd say we had a mostly comfortable and very convenient stay.

Just Perfect.

Perfect. Highly recommend. The front desk booked us on the Hop On, Hop Off and allowed us to leave luggage in their office, while we played around Auckland, as our flight was at mid-night. Even printed off a train schedule for us, IF we wanted to venture into the city. Extremely helpful! A little noisy due to traffic, as an off ramp is near the hotel, but there are ear plugs in the nightstand. Which helped to dampen the noise. Very large room with all the necessary kitchen supplies!

Everything you need!

My Mother and I stayed two nights at the Airport Harbour View Motel. We were given a warm welcome and all our questions answered. We were even given a lift in to Onehunga Mall where my Mums cousin ( aN elderly Nun liveS). The room and en-suite was clean and the room was made up with clean towels the next day. I would highly recommend this motel for anyone traveling through Auckland and wanting to be close to the airport...The only thing is they do not do airport pickup/drop off so best if you have your own car. oh and they even had a handle weigh scales to use to weigh your bags prior to your flight. We will be back!

not so close.

This hotel is quite a distance to the Auckland Airport and the only way to access the airport we took a taxi from the hotel to the airport for an early flight in a taxi for $25 Reccommended by the hotel if paying in cash. It is in an odd area but we found the hotel to be clean and lovely room but some traffic noise. The seafood restaurant next door makes dining easy with lovely seafood.

Close to the Airport

We were not aware that hotels in New Zealand aren't set up for 24 hour arrivals. The host emailed us to arrange for a late check in when we didn't show up by 9pm. She was fantastic. The hotel is simple, spacious and clean. My room was a little noisy just off the street. The neighborhood is more on the industrial side. We were only there for 5 hours before we had to depart to the airport.

1 night stay before flying home. The room was superb, very well equipped and nicely decorated. The sheets were clean and fresh and the bed very comfortable. Unfortunately the hotel is next to a very busy road with many heavy goods trucks thundering by, therefore we were kept awake during the night even though the traffic was much quieter than during rush hour. There is no view to speak of from the hotel and it is also next to electricity pylons.

Hidden Gem

The previous reviews we read on this little gem was the reason I selected this place . It's located in an out of the way place, but yet very close to everything. Paid a bit extra for an executive studio which did not disappoint. The room was large with a long table to use as a desk, a large bathroom with a spa size bathtub, a kitchenette which was well equipped and the rooms were clean and made up with care. It was a great place to get some work done and still feel very relaxed at the same time. Everyone from the managers (Rozita and Aaron) to the housekeepers were friendly and helpful.

Misleading and Rude

Paid for two nights in cash, filled out paper work and handed my license over to add to files . They handed me keys and they Wer happy. Room tv is way to small, no coffee and hand soap. The Next morning I got asked to remove all my property and leave as they did not like the fact I paid in cash and that my friend who dropped me off the night before parked in the carpark next door. I walked over to motel and was stopped and question by the owner on why I was dropped off there . He was rude and starting questioning me . The next morning He stood at the door and only gave me 10mins to collect my items . They then told me that I was not allowed to pay in cash and me getting dropped off seemed too dodgy .
They should of informed me this when I checked in. Worst place I have ever stayed. Very rude, pushy and watched for no reason .
