Even though we had to leave 4 days earlier due to personal reasons, we had a good stay at Lighter Quay. The best thing about this apartment is location, close to everything. The apartment was confortable for two people. Nice kitchen, efficiently layed out and well equipped. The laundry with washing machine and dryer came in very handy. The only downside was (especially when visiting in July) the lack of central heating. There was a small electric heater which we had to move from the bedroom to the lounge and it was not enough to heat up the entire place. The floor to ceiling windows, while really nice, didn't help either. Consider this if visiting during winter. We were surprised to see that we would be charged if exceeding the monthly power allowance (first time for us), but decided to book anyway. Keep in mind that this applies to gas and water too, which we only found out once we arrived since it was left out of the listing. Overall the stay was good. Nothing extremely bad or good to remark. A safe choice when staying in Auckland during the spring and summer months.
