Waitakere Estate Auckland

Amazing views from every room, simply spectacular. It disappoints me that people are saying the decor is dated, you’re staying at a Heritage Hotel, do you not check the photos prior to booking?? It was exactly how it looked with comfortable chairs and beds and an amazing shower. Both the continental & cooked breakfasts were on par with the superb dinner & desert consumed the night before - compliments to the chef and the cheerful wait staff. Amazing pillows and linen which ensured the best child free sleep I’ve had in a long time! Overall, tremendously enjoyable weekend stay - bar the noisy bathroom fan!

Booked Degustation deal on Grab one,Meal was excellent great job by guy who served us too,grounds well kept,pool clean but not heated,room was little dated bed really comfy,building going on right opposite,biggest let down was place inside looking very tired lounge depressing too dark we actually pulled the top blinds up to let natural light in it was so much better when sitting in there with a drink or watching Sky TV the heavy red curtains very dusty they really dont need to be there,there is far too much furniture,would look better with walls painted lighter and fireplace more inviting,the balcony in lounge which has a library very neglected,dining room chair frames dusty,overall a big let down for such a stunning location,new rooms being built would benefit upgrading the main buiding inside for prices charged.

Location is stunning with freindly helpful reception. Decore is dated and in need of upgrading. The hotel was being extended during our stay. Our room overlooked the noisy construction site which destroyed the peaceful natural forest ambiance . Wish I was informed of the works prior to booking for two nights. Food is over priced and frankly my veal was soaked in oil - not pleasant at all. Our room was not made up daily; however we did get asked if there was anything we needed. Bathroom was well presented as were the grounds.

Extremely quiet and nice view. Very clean. Would have deserved 4 stars but the look and feel is a bit old...

Waitakere Estate is an amazing destination for a luxury stay so close to Auckland. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The views are spectacular by day or night. The chefs are superb and go out of their way to accomodate guests.
