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!

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.
