We enjoyed our stay at Aarangi. We had a very friendly welcome from the excellent manager. We had the spacious family room for 2 of us, but it would be more than adequate for a family of 4. Excellent value for money in a very nice area, close to the beach.

Horrible stay in this horrible old motel. We were lied to when checking in and not given the room we booked. After realising the bait-and-switch we requested to be out in the right room, which the staff and manager protested and gave multiple made up excuses (none of which aligned with the others or were true). They finally admitted they were holding it in hope of a walk-in to arrive, which is bizarre for a motel to screw over their already paying guests, when we were almost the only people in the whole place. The rooms were old, filthy bathrooms and didn't have fire alarms. They eventually conceded the room was empty and we should be in it, and refused to offer any discount for the terrible experience or hour lost relocation my family to the new room. We won't ever stay at this awful motel ever again. Note: photos limited to 8, so could only show a few things. The shower was blocked and disgusting, among multiple other issues.

I stayed overnight at Aarangi Motel with some friends and it was a great experience; the manager was very friendly, we had safe and easy access to our room and were a short walk away from the waterfront and beach at Mission Bay. Also dog friendly! Will definitely come again :)

8/10

Generally happy with our stay, the two things that detracted were the shower, nice enough however could do with a re-grout and update of the silicaone as there was some dark mould present. The iron could also do with an update as when ironing my brand new white shirt, when steaming, it left rust stains that I had to try and wash out which I managed to do however not the best pre-wedding preparation.

Location is 150m away from an awesome beach to relax. Hosts are friendly and helpful. Renovated and decorated units. Great value for money !!!!

Our host was wonderful! We flew in from the US and she was able to get us into our room early so we could recoup after the long flight before heading into Auckland center to see some museums. Access to everything was easy from here and the coastal road is especially beautiful on a clear day! Would definitely stay here again if we’re back in Auckland!

A hidden gem! During a recent trip to New Zealand to visit family, we stayed at the Aarangi Motel on several different occasions, each time in a different room. Every room was very clean and well appointed, with great quality, comfortable bed linen and towels and lovely toiletries. The motel is just a couple of minutes walk to the beach, and set in a quiet location. We enjoyed walking to the bars and eateries in Mission Bay, just a ten minute walk around the bay. We loved the retro feeling of the motel, which made a welcome change from soulless, bland new accommodation that seems to be the norm these days. The hosts are fantastic, very friendly and made us feel very welcome every time we returned. We will definitely stay here again on future trips to New Zealand!
