Heartland Hotel Auckland Airport
Was not expecting shower over a bath .. especially without assistance handles. We have always had showers. I’m sure they would have moved us if we had complained as we are both elderly. Must remember to ask next stay. Food, service and airport shuttle were excellent.

Quest Highbrook
Super friendly staff, spacious rooms with very comfortable beds, and amazing blackout curtains, perfect for the summer heat during the day if you want to day nap. The views are gorgeous, there’s plenty of free parking, and the outdoor area is sheltered with tables everywhere, great for dinner time ...

The room was great. Reception also very good. The close proximity to town was excellent. There was no view to speak of, but we were ok with that.
