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.

2/10 Poor

Awful motel and dishonest staff. Avoid.
Horrible stay in this horrible old motel. We were lied to when checking in and not given the room we booked. After realising the bait-and-switch we requested to be out in the right room, which the staff and manager protested and gave multiple made up excuses (none of which aligned with the others or were true). They finally admitted they were holding it in hope of a walk-in to arrive, which is bizarre for a motel to screw over their already paying guests, when we were almost the only people in the whole place. The rooms were old, filthy bathrooms and didn't have fire alarms. They eventually conceded the room was empty and we should be in it, and refused to offer any discount for the terrible experience or hour lost relocation my family to the new room. We won't ever stay at this awful motel ever again. Note: photos limited to 8, so could only show a few things. The shower was blocked and disgusting, among multiple other issues.

Very friendly staff; pet friendly, not matter what size the pet; very good equipment of the room, the heater provided did a great job heating the unit up. 2min walk to the beach. Fantastic. Would definitely stay there again.
Franzi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location, easy walk to beach and shops/restaurants, or a very short drive to St Heliers or Mission Bay. Accommodation was perfect for us and our two children, who had a separate bedroom with two single beds. Always seem to struggle getting accommodation with one double bed and two single beds unless you want to pay extortionate prices. Everything was super-lovely and we're really glad that we booked two nights here.

A hidden gem! During a recent trip to New Zealand to visit family, we stayed at the Aarangi Motel on several different occasions, each time in a different room. Every room was very clean and well appointed, with great quality, comfortable bed linen and towels and lovely toiletries. The motel is just a couple of minutes walk to the beach, and set in a quiet location. We enjoyed walking to the bars and eateries in Mission Bay, just a ten minute walk around the bay. We loved the retro feeling of the motel, which made a welcome change from soulless, bland new accommodation that seems to be the norm these days. The hosts are fantastic, very friendly and made us feel very welcome every time we returned. We will definitely stay here again on future trips to New Zealand!
