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.
