DoubleTree by Hilton Auckland Karaka
We loved our short stay here, food was fabulous both at the bar as well as the restaurant. Best creme brûlée I’ve had in awhile! As always, the rooms are wonderful and I would recommend anyone to stay here en route to the airport after a long drive from the east. We hope to return!

The room was beautiful and everything looked even better than the photos! We were also very appreciative of their great service to allow an early check in for a wedding we were attending. 10/10 stay!
