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.
