The condo is just as pictured: spacious and luxurious. The location in downtown Auckland is very convenient: lots of restaurants, stores, and the ferry terminal are all a short walk away. My kids loved the pool. Just note that the wifi isn't unlimited. We have an unlimited broadband connection at home in the US and weren't careful enough about this (kids streamed video and downloaded a software update). There is no mechanism to check how much data you are using. We went over our limit and had the speed throttled back to 64 kb/s.
