Only issue was that 4th bedroom in the separate shed/bach was quite a distance from the main house and hence no internet there. Teenage girls were very keen to stay there but no internet there so no go. No one used it cos of the no internet. ##### Stephen Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [LyLo Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Lylo-Auckland-Hostel.h82477714.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Auckland.h447796.Hotel-Information) > > [Marsden Suites Albany](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Leroy-Suites-Albany.h29319219.Hotel-Information) > > [Perfect Location, Viaduct Harbour CBD](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Perfect-Location.h25013786.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Auckland Hotel & Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Pullman-Auckland-Apartments.h19529.Hotel-Information) > > [Marsden Viaduct Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Marsden-Viaduct-Hotel.h66487131.Hotel-Information) > > [Devonport Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Devonport-Motel.h11688453.Hotel-Information) > > [Aachen House](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Aachen-House.h100461776.Hotel-Information) > > [Ascotia off Queen](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Ascotia-Off-Queen.h890205.Hotel-Information) > > [Barclay Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Barclay-Suites.h2278166.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Park Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Asure-At-Eden-Park.h4517008.Hotel-Information) > > [Auckland Northshore Motels & Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Auckland-Northshore-Motels-Holiday-Park.h4856809.Hotel-Information) > > [Mövenpick Hotel Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Grand-Mercure-Auckland.h24309.Hotel-Information) > > [Ellerslie Palms Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Ellerslie-Palms-Motel.h17068999.Hotel-Information) > > [Alexander Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Quality-Suites-Alexander-Inn.h5109099.Hotel-Information) > > [Oaks Auckland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Nesuto-Stadium-Hotel-And-Apartments.h2729893.Hotel-Information) > > [Federal Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Federal-Apartments.h44329174.Hotel-Information) > > [Haka House Auckland K’ Road](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Haka-Lodge-Auckland-Hostel.h18989774.Hotel-Information) > > [The Edgerley Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-The-Edgerley-Suites.h32074267.Hotel-Information) > > [United Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-United-Auckland.h103430548.Hotel-Information) > > [Brand New Apartment on Anzac Ave](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Brand-New-Apartment-On-Anzac-Ave.h32507759.Hotel-Information) > > [Imagine Beach Road](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Imagine-Beach-Road.h67593181.Hotel-Information) > > [Knights Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Knights-Inn.h7767080.Hotel-Information) > > [Stay Mission Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Stay-Mission-Bay.h19211960.Hotel-Information) > > [Fable Auckland, MGallery](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Hotel-Grand-Windsor-MGallery-By-Sofitel.h872645.Hotel-Information) > > [VR Queen Street - Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-VR-Queen-Street-Hotel-Suites.h8008450.Hotel-Information) > > [Manha Hotel Auckland Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Manha-Hotel.h93236944.Hotel-Information) > > [Quest on Beaumont](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Quest-On-Beaumont.h6439505.Hotel-Information)
