This beautiful little hotel, tucked away in beautifully landscaped grounds, close to a lovely beach town, not far from downtown Auckland, is a gem. With the beach, water and lots of restaurants nearby, definitely a place I’d love to stay at more than one night. The pool clean and gorgeous, a refrigerator and dishes, guest laundry room, parking on site, all wonderful. The warm welcome at the reception made us feel at home. Loved our stay!
