Unbeatable proximity to Spark Arena (literally across the road)
Apartments have full kitchens and laundry, rare for this price point
The 2020 refurbishment added a chic, modern feel to the rooms
Snel Overzicht: A solid, practical base for concert-goers and extended stays, but don't expect the pool or gym to be in the same building.
Beoordeeld door @blackgermantraveler: I stayed here for a quick business trip and it was exactly what I needed. The room was spotless, the Wi-Fi was fast, and having a proper table to work at made a huge difference. Definitely my go-to for a stress-free Auckland stay.

You might hear noise from the arena crowds or nearby trains if you're on a lower floor facing the street.
You are in town specifically for a concert at Spark Arena
You need a washer/dryer and kitchen for a week-long stay
You prefer independent living over constant staff interaction

Tips van Insiders
✨
The Countdown supermarket is a short walk away—stock up on breakfast items to save money.
✨
Ask for a room on the 'courtyard' side if you want to avoid the Beach Road traffic noise.
✨
The 'Nook' bar has a decent happy hour, but the nearby Britomart precinct has far better dining options.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'gym' is actually a membership gym down the street, which is better equipped than most hotel gyms but less convenient.
💡The walk to the pool can be awkward in swimwear; wear a cover-up.
💡The balconies in some rooms are 'Juliet' style (standing room only), not full terraces.
💡You might smell the ocean breeze mixed with city exhaust due to the port location.
💡The elevators can get jammed with people before and after big arena events.
