Stay here if you want to be a member of IHG. otherwise you will not get free WiFi and bottled water in the room. Disappointed that IHG had to resort to such means to get customers to sign up.

So easy if you are heading to south of Auckland! We got off at Auckland Airport and drove 20 minutes on an evening flight. Great to be out of the city, and on our away. The double tree is perfect - clean, rooms up to date and setting lovely with a pool as well. Highly recommend!

It was great but I have the problem with the lights fell off on the side of the bed. Couldn’t turn the lights at night and I have to wait for a few hours to get in to my room for my meeting and so on. I feel l needed to be compensated for my stay because I have two uncomfortable nights of sleeping. But overall it’s a great hotel I will recommend to my friends and family
