Top Port Waikato Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Auckland Karaka

DoubleTree by Hilton Auckland Karaka

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect for our one night stay just out of Auckland. Only moments drive away to the airport (non peaktime) and handy to the motorway. Loved the hotel. It was one of the nicest we have been in for a long time. The room was fresh, clean and luxurious with quite a few little added details that we appreciated. (including the warm cookies at check in). Would definitely stay again. Plenty of eating places nearby too if you didn't want to go the inhouse restaurant"
