DoubleTree by Hilton Auckland Karaka
Easy parking, nice surrounds. The staff were all helpful and friendly. The restaurant was quite expensive but the food was pretty nice. The rooms were fairly spacious, very clean and modern and cosy. Comfy beds. The pool was lovely, too many kids though (lol). Would recommend if you don't mind staying ...

Le Chalet Waiheke Apartments
We had such a relaxing stay at Le Chalet. The room was so thoughtfully and tidily presented and it was such a luxury having access to the pool and jacuzzi. Easily accessible by buses which are frequent in the morning and afternoon with good shops nearby. Thank you to the hosts.
