Excellent place to spend a few nights in Auckland. Right on the beach front beautiful view, spa is great as well. Ginty was great and full of knowledge if the area too. Plenty of peaceful space to unwind and refresh from busy Auckland business center. Very nice ferry ride to downtown center too near by wonderful neighbor hood and beach to walk and swim. Wish I would have stayed here a couple extra nights. Only downside is you have to take a bus and then train and then another bus to get there without a car using public transit which could take an hour and a half to get there.
