We absolutely fell in love with the charm and location of this charming guest house! The historic building has such character, and being just a short walk from the city center makes it incredibly convenient. If you're after a view, rooms #5 and #9 are definitely worth requesting—those city vistas are unforgettable. The property is well-maintained and full of old-world elegance.

Located in the heart of Auckland's CBD, this Haka House property is a bit of a drive from the airport—about an hour on average, so plan accordingly. I’ve stayed at several Haka House locations before, and this one maintains the brand’s consistent vibe and cleanliness. That said, the mattress here was a letdown for me—it wobbled noticeably even with slight movement. A light roll over felt like being on a rocking boat, which definitely disrupted my sleep quality. If you’re sensitive to bed stability, it might be worth requesting a different room or checking reviews for other floor plans. Still, the staff were friendly, the space was well-maintained, and overall, it’s a solid choice for travelers who value location and local character, despite that minor drawback.
I highly recommend this serviced apartment to anyone visiting Auckland, especially if you're attending a concert.

What surprised me most was how affordable it was for such a central spot. If you're looking for convenience, comfort, and value, this place is a top pick. I’ll definitely be booking again on my next trip.
We stayed in a family room with our kids, and the space was absolutely spacious—perfect for us with one queen bed and a single bed. The bedding was clean and fresh, and the bathroom was spotless.

The room came equipped with a kettle, microwave, toaster, and fridge—ideal for preparing simple breakfasts without leaving the hotel. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better: just an 8-minute walk to Westfield Shopping Centre, a 3-minute stroll to the bus stop (with routes 30, 70, and 309 directly connecting to the city center), and only 10 minutes to Newmarket Train Station. Everything is within easy reach, making travel around Auckland super smooth. We loved the comfort, cleanliness, and practicality of this place.

Bathrooms and toilets are plentiful and kept immaculately clean, which is always a plus in shared accommodations.
