Jenna_lee New Zealand

Great value room for the family with amazing views!

Kaylie New Zealand

Amazing view over the sea. Great location close to restaurants, shops and beach (and family). Well stocked room - tea coffee, kettle, microwave, satellite channels on TV.

Andrea Australia

Found the location of hotel very convenient to why we visited Auckland. The price of accommodation, amenities and parking was good value for money. Would recommend this accommodation to other family members and friends. Found the staff friendly, and accommodating to guests when engaging in general conversation. 👍😀

Sandie New Zealand

Situation is ideal. Takapuna shops and restaurants are 100m away. Reception, bar and restaurant staff all very friendly. Excellent value.

Philip New Zealand

Great location in central Takapuna, short flat walk through shopping area to Takapuna beach, say 250m. Plenty of restaurants and cafes to chose from if you don't eat in. We had a Superior Suite with excellent unobstructed sea views from our 8th floor windows, facing Rangitoto around to the harbour bridge! (Would have been awesome for viewing America's Cup challenge!) Huge super king bed with lovely pillows and views from our bedroom to Auckland city and harbour. Swimming pool was warm, not cold, and a lovely big spa pool. Adequate gym facilities. The bar was also very pleasant for an early evening drink, the food menu looked very nice. We ordered room service breakfast, arrived promptly and still warm, delivered by a very pleasant kiwi chap. Check in and check out were both pleasant and very easy. Will certainly stay again.

Graham New Zealand

This place is amazing we have stayed a few times now and love it here pool is amazing staff is great we had a issue with our drier and staff sorted it right away and moved us to a different room loved it here.

Mikayla New Zealand

Very comfortable and great facilities including a pool and spa. It combined the comfort and independence of an apartment with amenities of a hotel like room service. Staff very helpful and obliging. A prime location in the centre of Takapuna and a gorgeous beach.

David New Zealand

Had room 1109, excellent view out into the Gulf. Room was spotless.

Philip New Zealand

We stay often at the Spencer on Byron, comfy beds, great space, awesome views and love the pool and spa. This time we booked the Suite at an amazing price with free drinks in the bar, and breakfast.
