Staying at The Spencer Hotel in Auckland was an absolute delight. The room was spotlessly clean, well-appointed, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Located right on a vibrant street, it’s just steps away from shopping, dining, and the city’s main attractions. Public transit is super convenient, making it easy to explore the city without needing a car. The hotel offers all the essentials you’d want: modern amenities, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. I truly felt at home. With such great value and a prime location, I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Auckland!
Carnmore Hotel Takapuna
Staying at Carnmore Hotel Takapuna was a fantastic experience—great value for money and perfectly located in the heart of Takapuna. We spent two nights here and loved how walkable everything was, with the main shopping area just a short stroll away. The room was spacious and well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, and other kitchen essentials—perfect for preparing simple meals. There’s even a cozy little coffee shop just 100 meters from the hotel, ideal for a morning pick-me-up. Best of all? Free parking, which is a huge plus for travelers driving in. Clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, this motel exceeded our expectations. Definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Auckland.
Takapuna Accommodation
Staying here felt more like a cozy homestay than a traditional hotel, and I really appreciated that. The location is unbeatable—right next to the beach, with easy access to public transit and downtown Auckland. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free. While it operates similarly to an Airbnb, the place is clean, well-maintained, and offers a genuine local vibe. I personally prefer hotels for the privacy—especially when coming back late at night, you don’t have to worry about disturbing anyone or tiptoeing around. That said, this property strikes a great balance between comfort, convenience, and a home-like atmosphere. If you’re looking for a relaxed, authentic stay near the water without sacrificing quality, this is a fantastic choice.
Emerald Inn on Takapuna Beach
Staying at Emerald Inn on Takapuna Beach was an absolute delight. Right outside the door is the beach—waking up to a sunrise over the water was magical. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything you’d need for a relaxing getaway. Parking was super convenient, which made the whole experience stress-free, especially if you're traveling by car. The location is perfect—close enough to enjoy the calm of the seaside but still within easy reach of Auckland’s city center. I loved how peaceful it felt while still being accessible to local attractions. Clean, welcoming, and beautifully situated—this place truly offers great value. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet coastal escape with comfort and convenience.
