We had a great experience at Airport Gold Star Motel. We had a great experience at Airport Gold Star Motel. The room was newly renovated, clean, and had a well-equipped kitchen. We had nothing to complain about it. The free 24-hour airport shuttle was a major plus, and the bus stop right across the street made getting to Auckland downtown easy. We also enjoyed visiting a nearby farmers market with fresh produce and street food. The staff, Tan, was incredibly helpful—he upgraded our room, gave us great local tips, and even picked us up from the car rental location after we returned our vehicle, and of course, drove us to the airport on our departure day—making our travel experience smooth and stress-free. We stayed here upon our arrival in Auckland and chose to return again for three nights at the end of our trip. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Auckland!

Great value for money - 7 of us fitted well in the 2 bedroom. Was clean. But it old and a little decrepit. Holes in net curtains. Lots of bumps and brusies around the place. Kitchen stuff is missing and has been cleaned by previous guests not cleaners and it shows. We aimed to cook but gave up. Kitchen is tiny. Laundry is only $2 for a wash and $2 for dryer. Very friendly staff which is why we have given it 3 star instead of 2. Carparking is VERY tight. Big utes etcs might struggle. Probably wouldnt stay again if we could afford something else.

The staff were helpful in assisting us to resolve the problems caused by Expedia's confusing booking system. The room had a lovely outlook upon the historic Grafton cemetery. But the room itself was quite shabby, there was no daily housekeeping, the staff often don't answer the phone if you ring to query the booking, and the parking is diabolical. If you have a large car you probably won't be able to fit in there.
