About this place Poenamo Hotel

The Poenamo Hotel is a pub-and-accommodation business on Northcote Road on Auckland's North Shore, close to the Northern Motorway and the Harbour Bridge approach. It combines a bar and dining area with hotel rooms. It is a mainstream place, not a gay venue, and its 3.3 Google score from about 500 reviews points to an uneven experience, so read recent reviews before booking. The address is in Hillcrest/Northcote, not Riverhead. Central Auckland and the Karangahape Road gay bars are about 15 minutes away by car outside rush hour.

Definitely needs some TLC. Bed was very comfortable but the room needs a link of paint. Small fridge in the wardrobe which is small anyway. Not a lot of room around the bed with the desk there.

Really enjoyed my overnight stay.Room was in the original wing of the hotel so excellent parking right outside my door. All the basic requirements of a hotel of this rating and very well priced for an establishment offering great central location. Close to a number of ammenities as well as the main motorway to the Auckland Harbour Bridge when travelling from the North Shore. I will definitely be back when next staying in Auckland. Very quiet during the week.
