Located on the iconic Quay street, M Social offers accommodation in the heart of Auckland. Free WiFi is featured throughout the property.

Waiheke Island Ferry Terminal and the New Zealand Maritime Museum are only 50 metres from M Social. It is 200 metres to Britomart Station and 600 metres to The Sky Tower. Guests can enjoy a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants in the surrounding area. Stayed at the 12th level, great harbour view, location is my favourite, near Viaduct harbour, with all restaurants and shops within minutes. Comfortable bed, spacious room, delicious breakfast, especially the eggs plating, that was better than high end restaurants.

Boasting an idyllic lake front setting, Acacia Lake View Motel offers free WiFi. Some rooms feature a balcony. All have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

Acacia Lake View Motel is just 300-metres from Taupo Town Centre and a 5 minute Tauhara Golf Course. Taupo Airport is a 10-minute drive away. Everything, from start to finish. The staff were amazing, and very helpful and friendly. Our accomodation was spotlessly clean. We had cooking facilities, hairdryer, shampoo, body wash, and luxury white towels. It really was a home away from home. I would absolutely recommend Acacia Lake View Motel.
