Clean and tidy and bright. The only thing that might need looking at was the single bed in 23 had springs in the mattress that was very uncomfortable. A new mattress would be much more comfortable
2nd time I’ve stayed here and definitely catered to our needs . Great for a family of 3 or 4 . I booked it for a me , my partner and 2 mates . 3 beds and a full kitchen and great bathroom .
Not a lot around the general area, but the motel itself was great. Looks a little tired outside but the rooms are really nice. Clean, fresh feel, excellent bedding and friendly staff. Would recommend for business travelers or those not needing to be in the heart of the city.

Compared with other Northshore motels Ocean Inn is better value. They provide a clean well equipped room, wifi, sky tv is bonus!!(welldone Ocean Inn, actually a choice of programmes to watch whe travelling alone) Staff are most friendly, any requests are met promptly with a smile. Happy to stay there on my next trip to Auckland👍
It marked our inaugural visit to New Zealand, and our experience was exceptionally inviting and comfortable. The bus stop is conveniently just a 3-minute walk away. All necessary amenities, including food and grocery stores, restaurants, and a gas station, are within walking distance, ensuring convenience even for those without a car. The room was in excellent condition, and the property justifies its price. The motel staff is not only helpful but also friendly and efficient. It's undeniably a great place to stay
