Our Slice of Eden

Where comfort meets convenience with a touch of 1970s charm. Settle into easy, relaxed stays, unwind by the pool and spa, and enjoy genuine Kiwi hospitality that feels like coming home. Rediscover holidays like they used to be — colourful, simple, and right here in Mt Eden.

Welcome to

Under new ownership since 2024, we are a husband-and-wife team who made a deliberate change for our young family. Having grown up in hospitality and spent over a decade running two local cafes, we took a leap from pouring lattes to restoring a 1970s motel back to life, one project at a time.

Our design approach is rooted in nostalgia, a place where time slows down, colour feels a little brighter, and the simplicity of classic Kiwi stays is still valued. Guests can unwind by the outdoor pool, settle into spacious rooms, and enjoy friendly, down-to-earth service. We aim to provide a stay that feels easy, familiar, and genuinely welcoming, with Mt Eden’s local cafes, shops, and village character only minutes away.

Just 15 minutes from Auckland’s CBD, Mt Eden Motel offers affordable, family-owned accommodation in a central location. We’re close to Eden Park, Auckland Showgrounds, Greenlane Hospital, and major event venues, making it an easy base whether you’re here for work, recovery, or a relaxed Auckland getaway.

Our Rooms

From Our Guests

  • “New favorite Motel. Staff are super helpful and friendly. Cleaners are amazing. Family Rooms are very suitable for families with a few children, also with a good amount of space. We stayed here for a week for a local family event and found it suitable for all our needs including the Kids staying entertained with the pool and up stairs while the adults event prepped downstairs. Very clean, fresh renovations.Thanks for the perfect stay and all your help and support during that stay! We will definitely be back again for out next Auckland event.”

  • “This motel was a pleasant suprise. Rated as 3 star (we booked as other family were already booked to stay there) we wondered what we would be letting ourselves in for.The motel has recently changed hands and the new owners are working through the units and upgrading them. Both units our family were in were clean, modern, comfortable and excellent showers and beds.The Owners were friendly and welcoming. This will become our new affordable motel when staying in Auckland.”

    —— Tricia Diprose

  • ”You cannot bet the location of this motel. The new owners are doing a fantastic job renovating the rooms. It's very retro and lots of fun. The beds were comfortable and the room very clean. The staff and manager bent over backwards to make our 3 day stay perfect. This motel will get better and better. We will definitely be staying again and again.”
