Karaka Holidays from NZ$459

A modern, efficient airport hotel. Only criticism is that written instructions provided for locating shuttle bus terminus after exiting the airport building are very confusing and must be outdated. Simple instructions would be: “Follow signage for’Off-site Shuttle buses’ and wait at the terminus for arrival of a bus with JetPark markings”.

Great property to attend concerts/events at Mt Smart. Parking in garage. Perfect for a family or friend group

We have stayed many incredible and beautiful places all over the world. Te Karaka Lodge is completely in a class by itself! Everything and everyone in this place is superb. There is not one little detail which is not lovingly cared for by the staff. It is a gorgeous place in gorgeous surroundings. There were 4 of us and we were very sad not to be able to book a second night. Dinner was indescribable. Every presentation rivaled a masterpiece painting. We have many pictures of both dinner and breakfast the following morning! An exquisite and memorable place which we loved and appreciated to the fullest.

Staff were so nice- especially Anna! All staff were so accommodating and helped us with whatever we needed. Beautiful place to stay at. Personally wouldn’t recommend over 3 or 4 nights in colder weather as it does get a little hard to figure out plans.

The staff was excellent and personable, provided VIP service, the room was large, although only 3 hangers were provided and no drawers for clothes, but the locker like wardrobe had a large enough shelf for clothes, just nowhere to store undergarments, socks, etc. I didn't use the mini bar but it is fully stocked with alcohol, soft drinks and snacks. Would definitely stay here again.
