We had an exceptional second stay at the Waitakere Resort. A very stunning location and so peaceful. The food was superb and the service excellent. The views exceptional. The interior is a mixed of vintage elements and stylish modern rooms. The expansive guest lounge was a treat - open fire and a wine with good conversation with other guests. Like going back in time. We look forward to our next say - a summer one to enjoy the gorgeous pool. Thanks again to the lovely staff at Waitakere Resort.

We had a wonderful stay for my birthday. It’s a beautiful hotel with great staff. Our massage and sauna was excellent at the spa and sitting on the big, open balcony in the evening after a stroll on one of their bush walks was so relaxing. This was made even better by the food. The restaurant is highly recommended, especially for dinner. One of the best we’ve had for years. Can’t wait to return.

We chose the Waitakere Resort for the venue of our daughter and son in-laws wedding high tea. The staff were easy to communicate with and made planning very easy. On the day our guests were wowed by the scenery, views and how secluded and private the resort was, as they arrived. The staff greeted us warmly and made the whole event easy. The tūī room was light and warm with magnificent views over the ranges and out to the city. The serving staff were friendly, efficient and super helpful without being intrusive. The high tea was delicious. There was something for everyone and the special dietary requirements were catered to beautifully without fuss. The bride and groom thoroughly enjoyed the event and enjoyed their stay there that night. Some of our guests also stayed at the hotel and all had positive feedback about their rooms and the service they received. Now that we have seen the resort for ourselves I am keen to stay the night sometime too!
