Very nice apartment.

Just finished up an 11 day stay and was very happy with the whole experience. Quiet and well managed - happy and friendly staff. Great view of the city and just a ferry ride away. Job well done and thank you for the great service.

Great location, w easy access to the city by ferry

Great views of Auckland from across the bay. Easy free parking at the hotel. It is a 5 min walk down the road to the ferry to the city. Ferry takes only 10 minutes and great view of the city during the ride. Hotel is very clean and nice. Breakfast was good and reasonably priced. Hotel staff was not very knowledgable of the local area and what to visit. They didn't even have a ferry schedule, which is one of the main reasons you would pick this location. Staff was very nice, just inexperienced.
