The Manukau Motor Lodge was a convenient place for us to stay before returning the rental car to the airport the next morning. The small pool was unheated, but the sauna (15 NZD) was a nice touch.

Everything was great other than that several customers turned up with large utes and made access to other car parks difficult and risking damage. (Not something the motel could easily control but a problem all the same)

The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to sort an issue with the TV...internet access was disappointing. Being in a room right next to the pool I was awoken by people doing bombs into it after 11.30 pm, but that wasn't the fault of staff...maybe lock pool gate to restrict access at night. Nice having access to laundry facilities...would definitely stay again :)

Convenient location. The room was spacious with a kitchen, dinning area, lounge, bathroom and two bedrooms. It had a good sized fridge and dishwasher drawer. The bedrooms had storage which was very useful. We liked how the toilet had a sliding door to make it private from then main bathroom. The beds were super comfortable. The boom had a ceiling fan in the main room and a fan in each bedroom but the room was still very hot in summer. The car parking spaces are very narrow. We wanted to go for a swim when we got back to our room but the gate was padlocked shut so we couldn’t which was disappointing. Overall we had a great stay and would

Handy to Pak n Save just behind the motel. You've got to walk around the block. Ladies staff were excellent and extremely accomodating, from receptionist to housekeepers. Male staff that checked us in on the 1st of 3 nights we spent there, wasn’t so accommodating. Great we didn't come across him again. Parking is a very tight squeeze for even small cars, let alone a 4WD or ute.. so understandably some big vehicles took up 2 spaces. Upstairs rooms doesn't have shelter for the stairs going up so be prepared to get very wet when raining. Otherwise it served it's purpose of providing a place for us to sleep last minute.

Found tags under the bed that weren't ours. Bathroom was clean. We had an Family Room and the bedroom upstairs didn't have curtains - just a wooden blind that didn't keep the room dark. No TV upstairs, just a small one downstairs and a small uncomfortable 2 seater couch. I would have said it was cheap and cherry - but it wasn't cheap. Not sure if I will come back again. Property seems to be slipping in quality (that was our 4th stay). But, the staff were awesome - friendly and helpful - and the location is great for food and shopping options.

The area around is a little unsafe. The entrance to the room is a sliding door with the only window to the outside so if you wanted privacy you can have any natural light. No safe deposit box. Internet was very spotty. The laminate on the counters were all falling apart. Very outdated bathroom. Bed was alright but pillows were awful. No coffee maker. For the price they are charging for this place, you are better off somewhere else.

Conveniently centrally located, happy hospitable staff, Well appointed Unit, Good Air conditioning, Noisy when any doors open due to directly under the flight path of a busy international airport 24/7 on a major intersection, with traffic sirens motorbikes unit was directly on the road on upper level - so couldn't leave any windows open for airflow as so noisy, small uncovered upper deck, would suggest some form of shelter roof/shade above the small deck and a couple of outside chairs as standing only. Would stay again, for convenience, but would request a unit away from the street on the lower level, as when booked the positioning of the unit was not described, for the above reasons is why wouldn't choose that particular position within. Overall - Clean, Tidy, Comfortable, Hospitable and friendly staff.

I wasnt here for long due to a delayed flight which meant I arrived at 2.30am and left at 8am, however the room was suffice, clean and comfortable. The only issue I had was that they emailed me the instructions for my early morning check in, saying the room was on the right side of the venue when it was actually on the left, and so i was tiptoeing around in the cold dark for some time but to no avail. i ended up calling the number on the reception door and unfortunately waking someone up, but she was so lovely it made up for the error.

I’ve always stayed at this Motor Lodge because of many reasons: the good parking lots, very kind front staffs and nice cleaning. It’s in a convenient area next to the Manukau shopping mall & stores, and close to the airport, which is from 20-30 mins by car! It’s also easy to access to the south area like Waikato, Rotorua in the North Island!
