- anamar (9/5): - I had booked this room for my nephew’s who unfortunately caused a disturbance to the property. I received a phone call from reception and apologised for their behaviour and disturbance, they were very understanding and informed me it wasn’t a big deal. Thank you to their team at Papakura Pioneer Motor Lodge and Motel

- Debbie (7/5): -
- H Werahiko (10/5): -
- Leeanne (10/5): -
- Peder (7/5): -
- Richards (4/5): It was ok. - The host were lovely, friendly Culturally the fridge was in the bathroom as a māri women this is very tapu, you do not take food into bathroom. The door needed to be shaved at the bottom as it hit the floor boards or tiles. The fan automatically went on and this disrupted sleep, while someone would use bathroom.
- Judy (4/5): Would not stay again. - Decor was mostly from 1960/70s. Tv was tiny. No bathroom extractor fan. Very poor water pressure in shower.
- Russell (8/5): -
- Joshua (8/5): -
- PCTECH NZ Ltd (7/5): - Nice and quiet
- Dennis (7/5): - The location was excellent close to the venue we needed to be at. The beds were comfortable. The shower was good. The unit itself was reasonable. The kitchen shelves were dusty, the top elements are rusty and appeared unused for a very long time. We never used any of the utensils. The curtains looked like they had not been steamed ever. Parking was tight.
- philip (6/5): - Acceptable but needs an upgrade
- Bradley (7/5): -
- stacey (3/5): Don’t walk on carpet without protection! Needs - Location Dirty shower and a years worth of crap under the couch pillows. These guys need a kick up the arss. We are motel owners so know the standard. Mill lol we got a very small milk for not even one coffee and to mention coffee Only one per person. Get it together guys , this is like a prison establishment
- Sarah (10/5): Good value for money, well located and wonderful service - The motel was well located and convenient to get to. Check in was easy and the staff followed our requests perfectly. The added safety feature of a gate was great for peace of mind in the evenings Bit tricky to enter the property when traveling south down Great South Road and navigating the carpark was a challenge at times with how compact everything was
- bruce (10/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): - Great motel, friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, all in all great stay 10/10
- Connie (7/5): nice place to stay - quiet. was sufficient for a night stay self check in took awhile but worked it out in the end !!
- Gurinder (10/5): Perfect - Amazing customer service
- Anna-Rita (5/5): -
- Aaron (9/5): -
- Andreas (6/5): - Unterkunft leicht zu finden, da direkt an der Straße.
Personal sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Auto parkt direkt vor dem Zimmer, keine langen Transportwege. Ausstattung ist in die Jahre gekommen und bedarf einer Renovierung.
- Hoori (10/5): - I feel safe at this accommodation
- Stephanie (5/5): -
- Moyra (8/5): -
- Sharlene (8/5): Ok - Location Pictures were deceiving
- Mark (8/5): -
- Viane (9/5): - The location was so good very handing to super market and food places
- Priscilla (8/5): Definitely would stay again - Excellent service. Absolutely loved the gated entrance into the units. The parking situation for the units needs to be mentioned. It is not ideal for large vehicles if all units are occupied, as one particular area traps a vehicle in if all parks are full.
Also, a tea towel, dish cloth, scrubbing brush and a scrap knife would be great within each room
- Sukhdeep (1/5): - Terrible stinky toilets… sticky carpet.. bed bugs and much more
- Karn (6/5): Enjoyed the stay thank you - Beds were comfy Need an extraction fan in the kitchen when cooking
- Stevie (8/5): -
- Alan (8/5): -
- Raymond (7/5): Good -
- Linda (4/5): - Good location. Comfortable room. Power tripped in kitchen. No shampoo, jst 1 bar of soap. Random sachets of coffee and tea. No dishcloth. Lady was rude when we showed up, although she knew we checking in late due to coming from a party.
- Meagan (9/5): -
- Gillian (8/5): My second visit, happy to come back again - Location, staff, comfort Nil
- Waitangi (8/5): - Location No toiletries
- Waitangi (8/5): - Location No toiletries that other motels provide
- Steph (7/5): Worth a stay for central South Auckland access - Great location, and well appointed, Beds were comfortable too. Needs additional privacy in the bathroom/kitchen windows. The other guests staying were very loud till very late, and there is no soundproofing between rooms
- Git (5/5): - Jag tyckte sängen var jätteskön men det tyckte inte min fru. Min fru tyckte sängen var nerlegad. Påver köksutrustning och ingen vettig plats att äta. De så kallade utemöblerna bestod av en bänk mot parkeringsplatsen.
- Kymany (8/5): Bien pour une nuit - Un hôtel bien placé On n'a pas pu avoir une suite pour toute la famille, on a dû se séparer pour petits groupes
- Julie-Anne (9/5): -
- Gomez (7/5): -
- Cloud (10/5): Awesome n met my need of 4 to 6 hours rest n a formal meeting with my sister. - I managed to rest and catch up with my sister. The space was excellent for us. Privacy n effective communication with the staff who was present when I checked in n on the phone.
- Leanne (8/5): - The price How tiny it was
- Rodrigue (8/5): -
- Henry (9/5): -
- Joann (7/5): - The lady that checked us in was lovely, the bed was comfortable and nice spacious room. It was all we could get for a last minute decision. Very basic so you get what you pay for
Place is very out dated, could do with a tidy up and paint inside and out.
- susan (5/5): After 17 days of travel throughout NZ, unfortunately this motel ranks at the bottom of our list. - Friendly manager Very dated inbuilt furniture, floor tiles needed a good scrub and cook top needed replacing badly. Outdoor area needed attention to weeds in paving and garden beds.
- Michelle (8/5): -
- Kelz (8/5): - The aircon
Shower
Kitchenette
Tv
Wifi Dirty bin no bag
Marks on the bathroom wall
- Karyn (9/5): We had a lovely comfortable stay - Quiet and clean Parking
- Steven (7/5): Comfortable and close to most amenities - Location to state highway and our intended agenda Parking spaces. Vehicles either side left their vehicles parked out as opposed to fully into their allocated space, meaning I barely had enough space to squeeze my car out when I needed to be on the road again. Slanted parking spaces don’t work when not used properly
- Lisa (4/5): - As above Several things but overall it was fine. Would not return though
- Cally (10/5): -
- Lloyd (10/5): -
- Ross (4/5): - Very poor parking.
- Helen (8/5): Overnight whistle stop. - Quiet location even though it was on a main road. No shampoo, conditioner or tissues
- Shane (7/5): -
- Karen (7/5): -
- Janelle (10/5): A great find - Staff were wonderful and couldn't do enough. Easy to access place to eat and shop on foot and by car. Comfortable bed, nice towels and every hot water. Good size shower. Water pressure in the shower was ok but could have been better.
- Sally (6/5): -
- Axel (7/5): -
- Parth (6/5): -
- Tai (10/5): - Lovely host, all necessities are available awesome location also. My family and I were cozy and comfortable.
- Praelene (10/5): We had a relaxing weekend due to the Motel, I hope we can stay again. - I loved how private and quiet the place was. The staff was amazing as well so we’re very grateful for her.
- Nina (8/5): - Location, spacious room
- Keinan (8/5): Great stay. - Great close to town.
And late check out was great
- Ray (1/5): Purgatory - Nothing Everything! There was a pile of rubbish in the front of the property as you drove in. A button had to be pressed before a door gave access to the office. ID was demanded before anything happened. Then I was asked for my name. My name was in my passport I provided for ID! Then she asked when we would be leaving to which I replied “As soon as possible.” We couldn’t wait to get out of the place!The motel had some sort of fumigant in it that smelled like the tablets used in public urinals!
- Hoori (10/5): - The host was amazing No comment for here
- Lyn (4/5): Disappointing - It felt old and depressing and not in a safe feeling location. The bed comfort was the best part of the accommodation plus it was quiet during the night. The owner was good with her communication about after hours key entry etc via as we were there after the office had closed but I did not enjoy my stay.
- Sharon (10/5): Very enjoyable stay except the water pressure in the shower - Easy access No pressure in the water for shower
- Paul (8/5): Thank you for helping us - No breakfast required Hangers in the bathroom
- Yvonne (8/5): Convenient and comfortable stay. Smooth check-in and communication. - The location suited my needs. The room was comfortable and I appreciated having a couch and desk. One pillow was past its best.
- Katinia (7/5): - It was handy to our sporting event. Close to shops was great. Entering the main road was a nightmare. No fault of motel.
- Jenny (9/5): - Really lovely staff and location was great, room was good and really quiet.
- Jules (10/5): - When we arrived, we were greeted with a friendly smile from the lady at reception.
She showed us where we could park and our room and asked if we required any further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
The room was clean and very comfortable.
Thank you - we will stay again.
- Martha (10/5): I enjoy my stay there - The location was ideal for where I wanted to go and host was very helpful. The facilities were appropriate and so lovely and quiet. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and whanau. Ngā mihi nui Just maybe a brush and pan to clean out mess ourselves and maybe a scrubbing brush to clean frying pans. Nothing major
- Paul (8/5): -
- KERRY (10/5): - Very basic accommodation but it was all we needed for a one night stay. Staff was very helpful and wanted to make our stay satisfactory.
- Owen (3/5): Would not stay or recommend this motel - location was all that was ok Bathroom smelt mouldy
Kitchen old and very dated facilities limited
resuppling of condements lacked attaention
- Nancy (6/5): - Short distance walk to fields and supermarket. Parking, not enough parking spots.
- carlene (8/5): - Perfect location, friendly staff Showers a little slow
