Tired old lady in a great location

Good location close to the centre of Takapuna, and a short walk to the beach. Our room was pleasant, with views over the lake and ocean, but there were some unwanted curry smells around. The shower went crazy and soaked everything in the bathroom. Public areas need some major upgrades - wooden floors in the foyer were in poor repair and there was a lot of old wooden furniture in the bar that made it feel 1970;s - disappointing that the bar closed at 10pm on a Friday night. Wifi was terrible.

Our suite was very spacious and clean with lovely views of the lake and ocean. It was great to have a dishwasher and washing machine and dryer in our suite as we were staying for a few days. We were very happy with our stay.

2/10 Poor

Really average, wouldn’t stay again.

Check in was fine, staff friendly. The room very basic and tired. Most annoying was the private apartment had next door had an old can rolling around the balcony very noisily in the wind (it had been used as an alternative to a pipe) I was with my children and not thrilled about the neighbours getting high next door. They offered to move us which was great. The pool area is also very tired with a lot of broken furniture, there is no restaurant. The rooms weren’t super clean with mould and hair in the bathroom. The reviews on this place were far too generous, if you’re looking at this price point I’d definitely recommend another place (almost any other place would be better)

6/10 Good

Our room’s wifi wasn’t working - the manager got us another room quickly. The room was nice- but there was a large family nearby cooking some very potent smelling food and it went through the vents and into our room and was not to our liking. It was pretty powerful and while probably tasty for them- not so great for our visit
