    tranquil atmosphere
    unresponsive restaurant staff

    The tranquil atmosphere really added to the relaxation during our stay, making it a perfect retreat.

    Unfortunately, the waiter at the restaurant couldn't provide details about the vegetables on offer, leading to a frustrating dining experience.

    dusty room
    poor service

    the supposedly luxury hotel felt more like a rundown shack where everything was just a twist of luck. my room was filled with dust, and the wifi connection was terrible, totally unacceptable. absolutely no offers of any welcome gifts or room upgrades were made. i almost gave a good review, but the poor service ruined it for me.

    spacious balcony
    mountain view

    It was just a well-suited match for a brief stopover in Auckland with value for price. I appreciated the spacious balcony with a lovely mountain view that made my mornings enjoyable. Be sure to confirm any special requests in advance to avoid issues about room arrangements.

    The new premium rooms are spacious and modern, offering some of the most comfortable beds I've slept in. The gardens are well-kept, showcasing beautiful roses and providing a nice backdrop for relaxation.

    Getting to the hotel can be a bit tricky due to the confusing access roads. it’s not exactly taxi-friendly. The restaurant atmosphere feels dated, and the food pricing is hard to justify, like $28 for a minuscule cheese board and an awkward experience with service—items ordered never made it to the table. The pool area is oddly accessed through a meandering route that belies the whole 'escape' vibe. dinner service was incredibly slow, and we found ourselves waiting far too long just for drinks that never came.

    beautiful location
    friendly staff

    amazing views were overshadowed by cleanliness issues and lack of attention to detail

    The location was absolutely beautiful, creating a serene escape from the city hustle. The staff were incredibly friendly, providing good breakfast and prompt service. Just a shame about the cleanliness.

    poor lounge lighting

    Swam in the pool surrounded by birdsong in the morning and enjoyed a perfect breakfast. The room was spacious and cozy, though the lounge area could use better lighting. I'd stay again!

    The lush, spacious balcony offered a breathtaking view of the forest and Auckland city, making it a delightful retreat for relaxation. The furniture was comfortable, enhancing the overall enjoyable atmosphere of the room during my stay.

    Steep access roads could be challenging for seniors.

    pleasant stay with minor setbacks

    The location was close to the birthday party, making it very convenient. The pool area looked inviting, perfect for relaxation. The duty manager provided exceptional assistance during our stay, which made a significant difference. I appreciated the lovely mountain view from our room that added a serene touch to our experience.

    The overall ambiance lacked a certain luxury feel.

    Attending my friend's hen party was a blast, and the venue was absolutely stunning. The breathtaking view from my balcony offered a panoramic sight over the pool and bush, making for an incredible backdrop. I particularly enjoyed the attentive service during dinner, where every dish was not only plentiful but also delicious, showcasing a variety of flavors. The room itself was immaculate, complemented by a lovely atmosphere, making it a memorable celebration.
