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

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.

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.

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.

2nd time ive stayed here. Very inconvenient to the motorway. Nice and clean. The man who owns this place is very nice and pleasent. If you want easy motorwar access i recommend this place. During peak traffic times you will need to turn left and then left at traffic lights, do a u turn, turn right at lights then get in correct lane for motorway north or south.

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.
