Room is quite dated, need some revival. Bathroom wasn't clean. Dirty all around the skirts with dead little flies, shower was very dirty on the titles and corners, you could feel the grease when passing the fingers on it. Wouldn't stay again.

All my needs were met… the unit had all appliances etc, great cafes within 200 m, beautiful park and playground within 400 m and the beach only 100 m away.

Great motel

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.

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!
