Wow! This place is seriously under rated. Booked it as a last min deal and it did not disappoint. The apartment was modern, massive and one of the best places I’ve stayed in Auckland ever! To the lady at check in - Your service is amazing. You were great to deal with, asset to your staffing team. Will be back.

We arrived about 7 in the morning and asked if we could leave bags there. Can't check in til 3pm. The receptionist was amazing he checked to see if room was ready and allowed us to take our bags to the room, freshen up after 27 hrs flight and even gave us recommendations for breakfast. We will definitely stay here again when visiting our family. Well done everyone for your excellent service.

Great stay, everything was good. Except when the elevator stopped working and we got stuck inside for 30 mins. On board phone did not work when we tried calling for help. Had to ring from personal phones, and was eventually rescued by local firefighter service. So other than it was great.
