We booked two nights here but one night would have been sufficient. As many other reviewers have pointed out, the views are fantastic and the staff friendly and helpful. Our room was dated and the entire resort has seen better days. Dinner was a mixed bag; the salmon main was delicious but the pork belly was all fat and the vegetables overcooked. We ate out on our second night. We had breakfast included and it was mediocre at best. The pastries were stale and the continental selections were limited. Our cooked items were pretty tasty and we left feeling like we’d had plenty to eat. We wouldn’t recommend staying here when there are plenty of other accommodation options throughout the Waitakere area to choose from.

Was offered a free upgrade to the newer/modern building but after viewing both chose the older section. Room 17. Absolutely stunning view over the rain forest to the Auckland city and downtown. Very spacious living area. Nice spa. It was dated and worn as we were told so at reception (and offered the free upgrade) but we needed the kitchenette and couldn't bypass that view. Felt like a tree house. The other units in that building didn't have the view. Parking was tight but convenient. Didn't try the pool as it was too cool of a day. Great view there though. Did not not try the restaurant either although the menu looked great and the there view stunning.

Sooo disappointing. When we arrived at noon we were told there was no lunch served through the week, but without a car we had nowhere to go. The closest restaurant is a 15 minute drive. Thankfully the kind receptionist took pity on us and brought us tea. No food. When we got into our room we noticed the cracked toilet, the water damage on the carpet, and the peeling paint. We came to this area for the hiking, but there is only one small trail available from the resort and one longer one. That’s it. Once again without a car, you don’t want to come here. On a high note, the dinner and breakfast were delicious! The views are gorgeous! Plus the staff was very good.

we only had breakfast here, which had a good selection, the sausages are not to our taste and we like our bacon cooked more, this was something we should have asked for as i am sure tgey would have done that. room was lovely, nice to have 2 arm chairs to relax in. The shower screen could do with a good clean or replacement of the trim across the bottom of the glass. We did not use the pool but this was kept clean and tidy. I did have a massage done by Brook which was very nice.

I never leave a bad review on anything and I travel fairly often so it has to be quite bad for me to say anything. There was hair EVERYWHERE (no exaggeration, there were probably 30 or more in there and I don't know that it had ever been cleaned) in the drawer under the sink and someone's used toothpaste container. There was a layer of dust on the hair dryer holder that was so thick it can't have been cleaned in years. The hair dryer had no cover anymore so you could just touch the metal and burn yourself. The drive was incredibly unsafe and there wasn't enough room for two cars so you had to keep the windows down to listen for traffic. They would run out of parking at dinner time so people staying couldn't park close to their rooms. It's also far from everything so it's very inconvenient. It won't let me include photos of how disgusting it was but I have them...

Worst experience ever, we saw a space in our wardrobe which was very scary. Its presence raised questions about the integrity of the establishment and left us feeling deeply unsettled throughout our stay. The walls and curtains appeared neglected and unclean, leaving an impression of poor maintenance and hygiene standards.
Also, the absence of air conditioning compounded our discomfort, particularly during warmer periods although it was mentioned on the website that rooms have AC facilities.

Our only complaint was the road in. Mirrors on the blind corners would help.

The drive in and out is a bit stressful as there is only one tight road on a hill. However the staff were extremely hospitable, the room was clean and safe, the gym is a bit small but has the essentials. The pool is a cold pool which was a bit disappointing, didn’t try their food. The views were spectacular however there isn’t much noise installation I could hear my neighbours and everytime someone walked in the hall. Overall it is a cozy place .

A great place to stay. You could be anywhere in the world! Beautiful grounds and old world flair. Everything was clean and tidy. Food was delicious! Lots of variety for tastes and flavours. Excellent service from all the staff. We also enjoyed the spa facilities and the views were fabulous across Auckland city and the Waitakere ranges. Definitely worth a visit!

While the room we stayed in the first night was disappointing, after voicing our concern to expedia we were upgraded to a great room the 2nd night. Awesome view overlooking the city, spacious, nice décor, and big shower. Very comfy. Dinner at the restaurant was great, and so was the vibe of enjoying drinks in front of the fire place in the lounge. We also enjoyed massages at the spa, and got to check out the beautiful rain forest at the scenic look out (couldn't do the walk as the tree was blocking) Didn't acknowledge hubby's birthday (which is why we booked in for the weekend, and I did advise) but staff were pleasant and overall we really enjoyed our stay
