We did a last minute booking and straight he fitted me my partner and daughter to a room as we couldnt find accommodation close enough to my kids sports event at a good price like here. So good customer service and good place to stay at. Recommend to anyone.

As my flight back to New Zealand was cancelled the motel changed my booking without extra cost - the unit was clean and comfortable.

It is one of the best motels I have stayed in South Auckland. You can visibly see that these owners take pride in their business. The cleaning staff were accommodating and friendly. I am going to book again for next weekend as we have a wedding to attend in Pukekohe but will much rather stay at the Colonial Motel.

We were nicely surprised at how much actually liked this place. Was clean, tidy, spaceous enough for us and had a kitchen with oven which we thought was a bonus. Staff and owners very helpful and polite. We will definitely be back.

Clean, tidy and convenient. Bed was very comfortable. Great Wifi connection. Owner was very friendly and welcoming. Only criticism was the pool needs a paint. Would defiantly stay again if we are back in the area.

Not clear from website, but is enough privacy for a couple and another adult. not luxury, but nice and clean, good service if room each day, parking not a problem. Busy road close to front of units, but morning traffic noise not disruptive.

It was everything we required for a one night stay , it provided kitchen facilities that enabled a meal to be cooked. It is very well situated and easy to find right next to the main motorway from Auckland however there were no eateries that we found close hence the meal cooking

Friendly people who made us feel welcome. Clean and tidy. Had everything we required as far as amenities were concerned. It was relatively quiet given it was on a main road.
