Great place for a weekend in Auckland. If you are coming form the airport or south (e.g. Hamilton) is easy to take the Intercity express to the airport and then CBD, which drops you a few blocks from Kate’s place. From there is easy to walk to the Princess warf, the Viaduct restaurants, or the Winyard quarter for great dinner or entertainment. Or take a ferry to any of the nearby island and come back to your place at night (which is what I did). The place is perfectly clean, and has everything to feel confortable, even a patio. I didn’t had time to use the pool or bar, but is all easily available.
