Lovely resort with an incredible on-site spa and restaurant (food is excellent). Showers are pretty uncomfortable with shower head mounted on wall and rather low (hubby and I both had to arch backwards to get hair under the stream of water). Overall very lovely but bathrooms were a let-down for a luxury resort.

This was supposed to be our Auckland escape over queens birthday weekend. The property is advertised as a "Resort" and we got trapped in thinking it is a nice place. Reality is that it is below average. Imagine an average motel you'd use to sleep on a long drive, it's about that quality just with a better view. The couch is filthy and old, the apartment very dated, the property not as advertised in images (silly things like there was no bedside lamps just an empty socket bar lying on the ground). There was a wedding on with loud music until late into the night so relaxing in a quite place outside the city was not exactly possible. The cherry on top was that we went there to use the spa and when we wanted to make a spa booking on arrival we were told the spa is closed. Never again!!!
