Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
Another great stay at the Cordis. Never disappoints. Kids love the place and they’re very accommodating. The Club Lounge is fantastic, there was a bit of a smell up there for a couple of days but they managed to sort it out. A few minor things but nothing worth mentioning.

SkyCity Hotel
This was the easiest, cheapest and most pleasant stay I have had on Auckland for a long time. Firstly, I could simply drive straight into the car park underneath the building - and it's easy to find a park as the basement car park is huge + you have access to your car in case anything got forgotten ...
