Great for just a pitstop. Close to the airport - we flew into Auckland and had to be at the airport again at 4 am. This was perfect and affordable. Onsite dinner was very good.

When we travel, we generally pick simple places that meet the following criteria - clean, good hot water supply, good wifi, the option to make tea and a basic breakfast in the morning, and ideally quiet. This motel met all of those! It's also a 5-minute walk to the main street where you can get a bus that'll get you to the metro station or to an Airport Link bus station. In addition, there's a Countdown grocery store around the corner and a variety of places to eat - although the majority will be Indian fare. Being vegetarian, that was perfect for us.

Half Moon Bay Motel exceeded our expectations. The place was very large and comfortable and had a kitchen and fridge with a lovely out door seating facing the sea. The beds were comfortable and there was a nice divider between our sons bed and our bed with a large seating area. We loved how quiet it was with no road noise and there was a lovely view of the sailing harbour. Everything we needed was walking distance to walking boardwalk, cafes, grocery stores, restaurants and the sea! I even found a post office beside the cafes. A wonderful getaway for our family. We will definitely stay again.

The staff were very accommodating and flexible and were very helpful in catering to our requests! The kitchen was very well equipped with all the pots, pans, plates, bowels, cups and cooking utensils you could need, and a spacious fridge freezer with a hob and microwave as well. The bathroom also has everything we needed including a hairdryer too. The beds were comfortable.

    Location is excellent for the airport. We were welcomed warmly and checked in very quickly. As this is a budget hotel, the rooms are small but there was plenty of room for the two of us and our luggage. The beds were very comfortable and the linen was top quality. The bathroom was serviceable, good shower and practical. The whole room was spotlessly clean. This is the second time we have used this hotel for flying out of NZ in the early morning.

    Fantastic budget hotel with great prices and an awesome location. I loved that they also had complementary parking and self-service laundering. An awesome shared area with free coffee, tea, etc. Right across the road from the shopping centre with restaurants and cafes around the hotel. Staff were wonderfully helpful, which made our stay welcoming.

    This is a budget hotel, it’s simple but clean, tidy and comfortable. For a stay prior to or after a flight you can’t beat it for location and price. Also handy to a couple of nice restaurants and a great bar.

    Location near the airport was great - without airport noise (I was located in a room on the side away from the airport). Staff were really helpful with queries. Most of all, the bed was COMFORTABLE: firm but with enough give on the top layer so you didn't feel like you were sleeping on a plank of wood. This proves that even budget hotels can provide a comfortable night's sleep, which is mainly what you book a hotel for.
