Great views from our Harbourside unit. Unit had a terrible layout though. Two bedrooms but the only bathroom, others had to go through our bedroom to access it. Needless to say, sleepless night. Room wasn’t very clean either.

Nice property with unexpected but nice amenities like an in unit free washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc. Only issue was the lights flickered a lot each time they were turned on which seemed strange like an electrical issue, but no other concerns.

On arrival was told Expedia had canceled my booking and I would have got a message. They had no rooms left. So I had to leave. Called Expedia and according to them my booking was still confirmed.

Overnight stay
Room was clean and comfortable. Outside of property and certain areas inside were neglected for some reason. Despite this we enjoyed our stay and found it perfect for one night. Plenty of food outlets and shops within a 10 min drive, there is no restaurant in the hotel.

Do not stay here!!
Hotel did not feel welcoming, some balconies looked very untidy and parking limited. Nobody on reception to greet us and check in experience underwhelming. No on-site dining available, but thanks to Uber we got fed. View from our ground floor window was shocking, including rubbish and beer cans on the ground. Noisy music until very late. Tried to contact reception but no reply and later discovered it was unmanned during the night. Complained to Hotels.com at 10.30 pm who also were unable to contact hotel to resolve the noise issue. This hotel felt like a shelter for the local homeless and is not suitable for travelling hotel guests. Couldn’t wait to leave at daylight and will never return. Real shame because 7 years ago when we last stayed it was lovely. Feel like we have wasted our money and would rather have slept in the car.

Property is in a lovely situation right on the water and close to ferry terminal. Nice and quiet. The unit was in a pretty good condition but there were a couple of maintenance things that do need attending to. There was never anyone on reception - we had to phone them so no personal communication except when we checked in and then he was not very helpful at all. The outside needs a good spruce up, especially garden areas.

Very comfortable, spacious apartment. Much more spacious than other apartments. Very popular, requires early booking. My favourate motel destination in Auckland. The couch is uncomfortable, but still functional, also serves as additional bed space. Really do love love this place.

Just the one night R&R
The exterior appearance of property is very disappointing; shabby gardens, dirty paintwork, rubbish & debris around paths & entrance. Once inside reception is quite dark. The room I had was spacious and clean but a few stains on the upholstery could have been cleaned off. Good WiFi and TV/Sky was great. Quiet, restful evening and comfortable bed. Lovely view in the morning and walk down to the marina was enjoyable. No shops to get breakfast, coffee or snacks nearby.

What a secret gem
Our room was a seaview suite and we were very pleasantly surprised. It was a large bedroom with a separate lounge/kitchen area. The bathroom was very nice and clean with a washing machine in situ behind a cupboard. The room has a microwave, cooking hob, cutlery, crockery and pots and pans. There is a veranda off the lounge with access from the separate bedroom also where you can look over the city and harbour bridge. It also has a generous dridge with a separate freezer, it even has a dishwasher in the kitchen with powder supplied. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again.

Washer and dryer was really a washer/dryer combo and the dryer did not work. We had to had a staff person dry our clothes for us (which they did, happily), but that wasn't really what we paid for. We also had an outbreak of ants. We didn't leave anything on the counters so we're not entirely sure what they were scouting for, but it was a little frustrating to be cleaning up every day. They'd apparently been having issues with ants in that particular room in the past. The sofa sleeper was broken and since the bed was extremely uncomfortable, the two of us couldn't sleep in it together, so hubby had to sleep on lumpy sofa, just so we could try for a full night's sleep. Overall, rundown property, but the staff were wonderful.

As our two bedroom Apartment commanded a spectacular few of the Harbour - we were blown away! As evening fell & the Auckland Harbour Bridge lit up, we were able to watch the cars as they drove over the bridge. Because I am having treatment nearby we have already rebooked for 3 weeks time. Excellent value & so quiet. There was limited parking due to a slip at the back but additional parking was available if needed on the grass. Highly recommended!
