I expect many motels would if you had a chat with the management.

yep, calling around will be your best bet. I imagine plenty have vacancies and will be happy to have a longer term stay.

Thanks guys. Gave that a try but all 6 of them wanted a daily rate, minimum $120 a day, flap that. Will have to keep trying.

You obviously don't know about Auckland prices.
$120/day is quite reasonable for a daily rate.

thanks for the swipe, but that was their rate per day for a month, ie $840pw

found a better one on wotif.

most big cities have relocation accommodation, clearly Auckland isnt in the big or need market just yet but I can see it happening.

Have you tried VRBO, or even TripAdvisor?

There are some places in Newmarket and the City that do weekly rates. How picky are they? There is a place on the end of Manukau Road (Newmarket end) that I drive past quite often and it has weekly rates. (Note - I have never stayed there, or even been inside, so no nothing about it)

There was one in newmarket area that use to be for patients families visiting one of the hospitals but I cant remember the name of it.

I do know the one you mean on manukau rd nearing broadway :-)

You could check Airbnb to find some accommodating people?

$120 is a bit stiff. I paid $78 NZ a night while in Sydney for two weeks in a hotel. Not a huge room, but included WiFi and breakfast right in the centre of the city wasn't bad.

I come from Sydney.
I have lived in Auckland for several years (but couldn't afford to stay).
Sydney accommodation is cheaper than Auckland (allowing for currency conversion).

If you're on a tight budget you could try a backpacker's hostel: www.bbh.co.nz/ha214/

Some of them have self contained accommodation (& it's pretty much shoulder season)

thanks guys.

did a lot of ringing around, found 50% of the motels etc understood what a weekly rate means (ie not 7xdaily rate) and the rest just had no clue. The ones that do tend to understand its good business to fill an empty room for a long term stay at a discount.

anyway i found the family a great place at a 40% discount of the daily rate which they are chuffed at.

thanks for all the tips and help.
