Dave's place is definitely quite awesome!
You will be in a perfect location regarding Auckland - close to the port where all the fun will be on week-ends as well as close to Queen Street with plenty of shopping and dining/food locations.
Dave's place itself is very clean & has enough space for two persons easily. The only thing that was not working was the washing machine - however, if you go to the hotel reception, they can provide you with a card such that you can use the hotel's washing machine for 2 dollars/wash which is really cheap.
You will be able to choose from 2 pools, 2 fitness rooms as well as 2 hot tubs which is really really nice.
All in all: I would definitely go there again without hesitation!
