Fantastic place to stay for an Auckland experience. Being right on the water which is the heart of the city was magical. Walking distance access to the CBD, the ferries for a jaunt into the Hauraki Gulf, and the best gelato in Auckland (Island Gelato Company). The apartment was in spotless condition, the facilities in general were excellent. Highly recommended. One note - booking this side of the bldg was a huge plus. Our incredible view was not marred by the presence of the enormous cruise ship which pulled into dock on the other side of the bldg.
