We stayed only for one night, but should have stayed for longer. We stayed at the Rata apartment which is furthest from the reception, but it has the best views straight from the bed. View opens towards Firth of Thames and city centre and from this room you can see over to the Hunua Ranges on good weather.
The reception by Alby was very warm and he showed us around the places and to the room. The room was updated not long time ago, bathroom had new taps, shower door, toilet seat etc. We foud out that this place is so far away from the light pollution of the city that it was nice to sit out on the rooms deck and watch for stars.
