Overall Ratings & Reviews Waitakere Resort & Spa

Off beaten path

Great. Can recommend

Lovely. Views outstanding, pool & sauna on site. Restaurant good. Can recommend

The rooms and property are run down. Room had torn curtains, holes in the ceiling, and stained bath towels. My room was above the restaurant and could hear constant loud noise of them cleaning the kitchen until almost 2am. Staff was excellent however

This is an older hotel that's absolutely full of character and should be enjoyed for what it is. We totally loved our stay there and will definitely be back. It's in a stunning location, the staff are all super friendly, it has a great restaurant overlooking Auckland, and the rooms are comfortable. It's not perfect and that's part of its charm, but it is unique and fun.

Fantastic situation in the rain forest. Great walks on the doorstep. Pool, sauna & gym Good. Highly recommended.

We had the villa for one night and wish to stay there much longer. The location is very quiet, nice view towards Auckland. We can definitely recommend the accommodation.

Fantastic ridge top location,great views of Auckland. Dining room had amazing breakfasts and excellent dinners. Wine selection wasok, but could use more NZ wines on the list. Our room-with-a-view was excellent. Would stay here again without hesitation.

Gate villa is perfect for two couples. We are really enjoyed our stay!

It was amazing to look owt the window an see bush, realy peacefull will definatly go again

The Lamb Kebabs were tough and unappetizing. More like small Hamburger fillers.

Fabulous bush setting with amazing views of Auckland City

I never leave a bad review on anything and I travel fairly often so it has to be quite bad for me to say anything. There was hair EVERYWHERE (no exaggeration, there were probably 30 or more in there and I don't know that it had ever been cleaned) in the drawer under the sink and someone's used toothpaste container. There was a layer of dust on the hair dryer holder that was so thick it can't have been cleaned in years. The hair dryer had no cover anymore so you could just touch the metal and burn yourself. The drive was incredibly unsafe and there wasn't enough room for two cars so you had to keep the windows down to listen for traffic. They would run out of parking at dinner time so people staying couldn't park close to their rooms. It's also far from everything so it's very inconvenient. It won't let me include photos of how disgusting it was but I have them...

Stayed for 4 days very beautiful place to stay, fresh air and friendly staff. Fresh towels everyday. Gym room was good. Pool was nice too. Only gave 4 stars due to noise from other tourists in the hotel, too noisy late at night, when trying to rest. I would stay here again, thankyou.

Lovely resort, nice gardens and rainforest, service with a smile, comfy room and beds with girgeous views to the city, wonderful meal at restaurant and good breakfast - old world charm could not fault stay! Thank you.

beautiful location

Staff are amazing, dinner and breakfast awesome, view from the room is beautiful, a nice quiet place. Perfect to refresh the mind and body.

As it was raining, you could access everything under cover, restaurant , gym & our room

Absolutely stunning views. Front staff were more than friendly. We will be back

The dinner, views and staff were all amazing. Property is showing its age but i have read in other reviews that the managers have a scheduling of works to assist. Well worth supporing through this. Super quiet and peacful!!
