Oakwood Manor Motor Lodge

Helpful staff - reception and shuttle bus driver and cleaning staff. Good service provided with shuttle bus from Auckland International Airport, even though I was the only customer at that time. Very good clean, crisp, fresh bed linen and bathroom towels. Surprise upgrade to having a kitchenette - most appreciated. Outdoor pool, clean water. Seating outside for snacking.

Actually, Faye Apera is our social worker. we needed support with WINZ, but they didn't help us, and we went to visit Faye at her job in the community organization I Am Māngere in Māngere because we have been living with family friends for 3 weeks but the family moved on Tuesday to Australia so we didn't have a roof over our heads specially our 9months old son will be sleeping in our car Faye found out and WINZ and Strive couldn't help us that evening Faye paid us a night in here. We both cried and prayed that God continues to bless Faye and her family because we all know that struggle is really. Even though we had enough to pay for a night but Faye said buy food for your son and yourself, let me take care of the one night and pay me the next day. And we did the next day I received my benefit (Tui) we went to see Faye at work we paid her back and she helped us get all our documents for transitional housing with Strive and they needed other paperwork for their referral so Faye had all that done today and Faye begged my partner Max to take the day off because the housing assessement interview will be at 10.15am and we both have to be present so Max called his boss told him the reason he won't make it to work the boss allowed him to stay and sort this out but at the end of the day we didn't a house but that was not the case. Faye had finished work, but she couldn't end that day, not knowing if we were take care of we were both crying looking at each other and couldn't tell Faye that we received a call back that we will be seeing a case manager at Strive that will take us to view a home. We both asked where we would go this weekend. The Strive case manager said I don't know, sorry, I can't help you till Monday.

Very nice staff that went the extra mile !! Really liked that they had the shuttle service and being able to keep my car there knowing it’s safe and in good hands. Very clean and chill.

Pleasant surroundings, room serviced, close to airport, suited our needs very well. From our viewpoint this was a good motel

Really friendly and helpful staff, the airport shuttle was a perfect add and the woman was so helpful with sorting us out! The room was massive, clean and great value for money.
