Top hotels in Grafton
Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
Good size room 424. Quiet. Bedding is absolute top ! Shower worked well. Food definitely above the cut. Last morning we enjoyed the breakfast at 8. We entered at 10. Some items like avocado were already no longer available. Restaurant could use a bit a renovation. I believe last update was well before ...
