Top Waitemata Harbour Hotel Reviews

Horizon by SkyCity

8/10 Good

"The staff and service was great, but the bed was old, the one where the edges are worn and you roll out of it while you are sleeping. The seating in the front bar was uncomfortable, the couch is so low to the ground and worn out you could not sit for long. Everyone was very helpful and the hotel was very clean, just some of the furnishings need upgrading"
