The Top 2 Hotels Near Kumeu River Wines
-
Cordis is a large luxury hotel sitting above central Auckland with skyline and harbor views that make the room rate sting a little less. The big draw is Eight, a restaurant where chefs cook across eight live kitchen stations covering different cuisines, which sounds gimmicky but is genuinely fun. The Chuan Spa is the place to decompress, and high tea in The Chandelier Lounge draws the kind of crowd that dresses for the occasion.

A boutique lodge on Waiheke Island, a short ferry hop from Auckland, Delamore sits on a hillside above a sheltered bay with views that make you forget you had emails to answer. With only a handful of suites and a villa, it never feels like a hotel, more like a very well-appointed friend's place. Gardens, a heated infinity pool, and evening drinks with the other guests round it out nicely.
