Great little apartment in a fabulous location that was perfect for us because it was just steps away from the activities we planned – sailing on the harbor and ferry trips to the bay islands. One morning we left the apartment just minutes before the scheduled ferry and made it in the nick of time. The harbor also made for a great place to run – either flat along the water or tackling the uphill toward the university (if you’re looking to burn off last nights great meal). The apartment was clean and comfortable. The highlight is the amazing and huge patio – we could sit on the shady couch all day or hold our own private fitness class. The washer/dryer was welcome after ten days on the road. You’re in the heart of many great bars and restaurants with plenty of nearby shopping. This might not be for you if you’re looking for a secluded place away from the action – we’re light sleepers though and stayed at a very busy time of year, but never had trouble going to sleep. Yes, the second bedroom is small, but its bathroom is more than enough, and this is a much better option for 3-4 people than two rooms at the nearby Hilton, Hyatt or Sofitel. The highlights of our stay were the wineries on Waikeke, the beautiful garden campus of the university and the incredible food – especially Hello Beasty and Amano. Our time in Auckland flew by and we were happy that we decided to stay in Auckland for four nights.
