This apartment is in a great location and Takapuna is beautiful. There are plenty of restaurants, walks and things to do around. Flex Fitness Takapuna is a great gym.
What you should know:
- Wifi. The wifi is not high speed, it's very slow. We were getting speeds of 7-17mbps. Before you book, check this has been rectified. I recommend asking for a speed test.
- Balcony. The view out of the apartment is gorgeous but when we were there (November 2022) the door was taped up so we couldn't access the balcony. There are no windows, only the balcony door, so there's no way of getting fresh air in unless it's fixed.
Previous reviews had flagged this but we believed it had been fixed when we booked. It wasn't fixed, so check before you book as it makes a massive difference.
Overall the apartment is fine for a few days but probably not if you need good internet or if not having fresh air bothers you.
The Spencer Hotel itself is also cheaper per night, so it's a viable alternative.
