If you want to explore Auckland and the surrounding islands, this is the best possible location and acomidation. lots of great restaurants close by, night life is close but not close enough to hear when your ready for sleep. The ferry terminal is a 2 minute walk from the room, otherwise all the amazing hikes are right out your front door. everything in the unit was clean and classy, even has a towel warmer... If you want the best Auckland experience this unit is a must.
