My stay at Retreat on the Park was everything I hoped it would be... and more! I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. My father had passed away and I needed to return to New Zealand... and so I was looking for a place in Auckland that provided me with a home-like feeling, a place to be refreshed, and in a convenient location. It met and exceeded all those. The Retreat was luxurious with every need anticipated - from an ultra comfortable bed with top-quality linens, to a fully stocked fridge (including a delicious Sauvignon Blanc!), a Nespresso coffee maker, wi-fi, a sauna in the bathroom, adjacent to Auckland's gorgeous Cornwall Park (accessed by a private gate) for leisurely walks. And to add to the experience, my gracious hosts Cyndy and Ranald made me feel totally at home and cared for. I would love to keep Retreat on the Park my special secret - but I would not want others to miss out on this special place. Five stars all the way!
