Wow...I was so impressed with the hospitality here. We were tired and cold and thought we liked the look of the place from the outside...I rang and asked if there was a room for 3 and was told yes...so we drove on in. Then we met Pat and he said to me...come and have a look first..just to see if... More

We only stayed the 1 night before flying out of Auckland but couldn't fault the place. Bernie (and the dog) gave us a very warm welcome, enhanced by muffins and we had an excellent if brief stay. The location is great for the airport, but also for outer Auckland and there is free wi-fi as well. Next time we're in... More

Visited while holidaying in New Zealand from Australia. This place is home from home. Nothing was too much trouble for the fabulous hosts - Bernie and Pat. They arranged all manner of things for us and even offered us books to read on our journey. Located south of Auckland, we found it convenient with easy parking. Rooms are very well... More

Thank you very much indeed for your great review. It was so lovely to meet you both. I hope you managed to find a book to read. Glad you appreciated our little "library". We would like to think that after reading, the "borrower" will pass it on to someone else. I hope you can make it back here sometime. You... More

We stayed for about four nights while in Auckland for a friend's wedding. The owners are fantastic, very friendly and helpful and the muffins on arrival were scrumptious . The rooms were comfortable and clean and the TV, DVD and kitchen facilities were good. The shower and toilet area was small, but tidy and quite adequate. With a rental car... More

We stayed for two weeks touring the North Island of New Zealand. The Grange Lodge Motel was by far the best accommodation and service I've ever experienced. The owners Pat & Bernie are awesome and couldn't do enough for us. If I ever go back to the North Island I'll definitely be staying with these guys again. Thanks guys for... More

This is a real gem!!! It has everything you need and more (free unlimited wi-fi, bathroom scales, teddy bear etc.) Spotlessly clean premises. Pat and Bernie are the best hosts you could wish for. Genuinely warm, friendly and welcoming couple, who obviously take pride in everything they do. They simply could not be more helpful. No wonder they collected all... More
