We enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Airport Palms. We were able to add an extra night when bad weather meant we had to change our plans and they ran us to the airport even though it was earlier than they would usually start

What a spotless and convenient motel. Best value for money. So happy I stayed here instead of the motels closer to the airport that cost twice as much. The owners were wonderful and took me to the supermarket after my flight was cancelled and I needed toiletries etc. My room was spotless with a great spa bath. They also have an airport shuttle. Amazing. I’ll definitely book again and recommend this motel to my colleagues and whānau. Thank you.
