"Positives: handy location to airport, modern style rooms with kitchenette, I had a king room (also for wheelchair access) which made it spacious. You receive a swipe card to access the property with its auto gate and auto doors into reception .
Side note: You have to pay and pre book a car parking space which is $10 a night.
Negatives:
Bed comfort low quality and lumpy for some reason.
Housekeeping didn’t put any fresh towels in my bathroom so I had to chase them up at night once I realised...

"Good place for a brief stay in Auckland. We travelled for an event and needed somewhere with parking at a reasonable price. This place, while fairly basic, ticked off everything we needed."

I enjoy staying here. Good value for money. Comfortable. Instructions to enter the property after hours was simple and getting the keys. We use this property often when overnighting in Auckland. It also come with a kitchen and small dining table. The only thing we didn’t have was a tea towel for the room to dry dishes or counter top.

We has a great stay. Was ugraded as the people (in what was to be our room) had extended their stay. The bed was lovely and comfortable. We just stayed the one night and would have happily stayed another.

My sister and I stayed one night before an international flight and highly recommend this motel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room had all we needed, beds very comfy. Walking distance to restaurants and shops and very close to airport. Free storage for cars while away must be a bonus.

Got in to Auckland airport at 7pm and didn't fancy the drive back to Northland so stayed here overnight for a fresh start next day. We have been using Greenlane Manor as our preferred "Go-To" accommodation in Auckland for 11 years now. We know that we will always have a beautifully appointed room which is spacious, clean and get a great nights sleep in their wonderful beds. Granted, it's not the cheapest place to stay, BUT, you do get "big fancy hotel chain" style accommodation. Stayed recently...

Fantastic for families with outside dining. Stayed 2 nights and was great that clean towels provided each day. Suggest melamine dishware for safety with little kids

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.

Very spacious and clean with lots of room for parking. The shower pressure was excellent and loved the electric blankets on the beds. The only down-side for us was the stove elements weren't heating up properly and the tv was a bit too high tech for us to figure out. But great place otherwise!

What looks to be an older style of motel from the outside , is quite the opposite. The Ellerslie Palms is a great place to stay, rooms are renovated and modern, bathrooms up to date with large showers , excellent water pressures and heat. Beds were pristine and comfortable, whilst the heating in the room was functioning perfectly. Just a super comfortable place to stay. I have stayed at quite a few brand new fancy places recently with all the travel I have been doing , and the Ellerslie leaves...

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...
