We wanted to stay somewhere central in Auckland, and with secure car parking. However, we didn't really realize how central we were - 5 minutes to Sky Tower - until we arrived. The reserved parking space in the underground car park meant huge peace of mind, while were 5-10 minutes from the main shopping areas and the harbour. The flat itself exceeded our expectations - modern, spotlessly clean, with a fully equipped kitchen, stocked with good quality crockery, cutlery, etc. And everything worked, including the wall-mounted flat screen TV, fully-loaded with a host of channels and a Netflix account. There were also nice touches with an abundance of towels, toiletries and even a welcoming chocolate each. What we also hadn't appreciated was how the flat was part of the Heritage Hotel, which gave us access to the roof-top gym and pool. Finally, we appreciated the very responsive communication we received by e-mail, both before we arrived in New Zealand and then once we were in Auckland, Would we choose to stay in the flat again should we return to New Zealand - definitely!
