Quest Takapuna
Room was modern and bright. Bed was very comfortable, quiet location, parking on street was good. Car was needed to reach the beach and hiking paths. Great to have washer and dryer in the room.

Ocean Breeze Hotel
The room was great, large and very clean. Excellent harbour views. However the external environment is very run-down, possibly due to land subsidence on the seaward side.
