A little dated interior but very clean and laundry 7 days a week Close to all locations that we wanted to visit in South Auckland Would have loved separate shower as its combination of shower and bath. Staff friendly and will definitely use again when visiting NZ

Grange motel had the beds we needed and the kitchenette we wanted. It has a surprisingly high rating for a low budget place. I’m glad we stayed, would consider staying again, but it is a generous 3 star. Management was excellent and very helpful/friendly.

Customer service was very personal, arrived to some rice crackers and personalised note written on the table. Offers daily refreshments of towels and bed cleaning. The facilities and rooms were spotless, I'm thoroughly impressed and happy to have chosen this place to stay at! Easy access to public transport as well, as bus stop is just around the corner of the motel.

This motel is in a great location close to Papatoetoe town center. The room was big and relatively clean. The kitchenette was well equipped with basic cooking utensils. The motel staff and owners were friendly and accommodative to our requests. I would consider this motel again during my next visit to South Auckland.
