"It just good. Stay and see"

Holiday Inn Express Auckland City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was on the upper floor facing the harbor and the tower. It was very nice to wake up to the view. The only downside is the modern style bathroom with only frosted glass as wall. We stayed with our kids and definitely not a nice feature to have. Otherwise, the place is great."

Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very central yet you can have a quiet night's sleep. Our room was small but we did not spend much time indoors as there are amazing things to do around. The art gallery down the road is cool, and do give Weta Workshop a go, it is heaps fun for adults and children alike. We decided against having breakfast even though we were offered 25% discount vouchers, and this was due to the current offer. We could not order a la carte, they only offered a small buffet. If you are a big eater, this would be the way to go, but we wanted something light. There are plenty of cafés near by, and finding a breakfast is not a problem at all. We had wonderful porridge with berries and poached pear at Honey Cafe CBD located ext to the library. There is a fabulous playground for children at Mayers Park near by, the Albert Park is stunning and do try Koiya Japanese restaurant next to the park. There are bus stops very close by, and the airport shuttle is 2 across the street. We would definitely stay at this hotel again, it was great value."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Red Beach?

The best time to visit Red Beach is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the beach and outdoor activities.

During this period, you'll experience average daily temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C, with plenty of sunshine and minimal rainfall. The sea temperatures are also at their warmest, making it ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and other water sports. This is also when local cafes and shops are fully operational, offering a full range of services.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find this time particularly appealing. The long daylight hours allow for extended walks along the shore, leisurely picnics, and enjoying the stunning sunsets over the Hauraki Gulf. Many local restaurants offer outdoor dining, providing a pleasant setting for an evening meal.

Families will also find the summer months to be the best. The calm, shallow waters of Red Beach are suitable for children, and the warm weather means plenty of opportunities for building sandcastles, playing beach games, and exploring the rock pools at low tide.
