Botany Palms Motel is a motel of studio apartments at 31 Kellaway Drive in East Tāmaki, Auckland. The website describes a Deluxe Studio with wheelchair access and an Executive Family Studio with a full kitchenette. The Deluxe Studio has a large Imperial Luxury bed, a 32 inch smart TV that can stream Netflix, Prime and YouTube from your own accounts, unlimited high-speed internet, and a small kitchenette with a microwave, toaster and tea and coffee making, but no stove. The Executive Family Studio has one large bed and two single king beds, and its kitchenette includes pots, cutlery, crockery and dishwashing liquid. Both have a mini-refrigerator, an ironing board, a pedestal fan for summer and a wall heater for winter. Extra blankets are provided on request.
Check-in is until 6 pm every day. For a late check-in, the website asks guests to contact the motel well in advance. If a booking is fully paid in advance, the keys can be left in a lockbox for self check-in, subject to approval by the Duty Manager. A round dinner table in the family studio gives a place to eat or work. The mix of wheelchair-access and family studios suits guests who need a home-style base with room for several people.
