Homestead Motor-Lodge, Papakura — Hotel in Papakura

As soon as I secured adele tickets I searched for accommodation straight away. Homestead motor lodge was one of the many few left as all other accommodation close to mt smart stadium were snapped up. Homestead was in a great location along great south road supermarkets galore lot's of eateries within walking distance. The motel itself was average for 3 of us adults. We did find a couple of the surrounding guests nextdoor to us were quite noisey luckily we didn't spend a lot of time there. The room itself was tidy the queen bed was extremely soft!

Bed reasonably comfortable but obvious white marks on duvet cover. Linen was fresh. Main room dark and gloomy with one opening window and a solid door. We stay in many motels throughout Bay of Plenty and Auckland in the course of our work and even the cheapest of them have offered better facilities than Homestead Motor Lodge. We will definitely not...
