Average facilities, great views f

Stayed at the Rydges Formosa for 2 nights in the 2 bedroom villa which is actually just 2 interconnecting rooms so no actual separate lounge room. The accommodation itself is a bit tired and the rest of the offering isn’t particularly centred around resort guests, eg., I had to call reception 4 times before I got a hold of someone to come and unlock the door between our rooms to make it into the ‘2 bedroom villa’. Breakfast was a very basic buffet, on the Sunday so many things ran out and they were very slow to replenish. The only thing really worthwhile are the views out over the golf course and harbour - which were stunning.

We initially encountered a hiccup because the door of our room was jammed and we couldn’t get in. Eventually we were offered a new room and we were upgraded to a different room. Although the new room was clean, there were some cellar spiders around the room. Wasn’t a big deal for us - just thought that they weren’t expecting for that room to be used so it wasn’t really cleaned thoroughly. Overall, great experience. Love that it’s very tranquil. Will come back in the future.

Sweet golf resort 40 minutes from Central Auckland. Andy and his staff are great, the villas have nice views of the water, restaurant chef and food are top tier, and the golf course is challenging, but a lot of fun.

Spacious room in a lovely setting

When we arrived check in was smooth - we got to our room to find a King size bed rather than the twins I had requested. This was a problem as I was travelling with my 14 yr old, 6ft son. The response I got when I called was initially to blame the fact I had booked through a third party site. Had I got a response to my request? Was I prepared to pay for an upgrade? I explained that I was booked for 3 nights and did not want to share a bed with my 6ft son. He then offered to check and found a room already set up as a twin. The room was clean, very spacious and we had a great stay.
