"Lovely clean and private accommodation for my husband to recover from knee replacement surgery. Our stay was made all the better by our wonderful hosts, who looked after us very well, checked on how my husband was recovering and insured we had everything we needed for our two weeks stay. Wonderful location with the local New World a 2-minute drive and the town centre a 5-minute drive. We highly recommend a stay here; you will not be disappointed. We would happily stay again."

I booked with this accommodation because of past reviews I had read. Room was very spacious, very clean and cosy. Large bathroom and also spacious kitchenette area. We had a very late check in and staff were more than happy to accommodate us even after hours. Would definitely stay here again.

Probably the best hotel bed I've ever slept in. The room was near new, after recent renovations and extensions, and the bed had not had much prior use. Plenty of kitchen, dining and lounge space, big beds and a sensible toilet-bathroom layout. Plenty of space in bedroom and bathroom for personal use items too.
My room was next to the side street and driveway entrance. Surprisingly very quiet, with no main road noise at all. WiFi is free, fast and plentiful. Hosts are friendly and...

We found ourselves at this Hotel because every other place anywhere the venue for the Eagles Concert at Mt Smart Stadium was booked out. It turned out to be a brilliant choice because the Motorway was a complete nightmare any where near Auckland so we chose to drive north to Papakura where we left the car at the "Park & Ride" at Papakura Railway Station" before boarding a suburban train to Penrose where we were able to walk to the venue, At the conclusion of the concert we did the reverse back...

Room was spotless, spacious just perfect for myself and husband. Staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay even though it was just for a night. Would definitely recommend to family and friends who’s outside of Auckland and are looking at a place to stay. Thank you for your hospitality.
