A stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Karaka is simply outstanding.
Immersed within the New Zealand Bloodstock grounds, you’re welcomed into a beautiful reception, only a short walk from the free guest parking, beyond which awaits Ethereal Artisan Kitchen, Horseshoe Bar and a fabulous selection of food, wine, and cocktails.
The confit duck croquettes paired with the Te Mata Gamay Noir is divine, followed by fresh oysters, crayfish raviolo, and a selection of steaks.
A dessert cart brims with a range of sweet treats, before retiring with a cocktail by the outdoor fire to finish the evening.
The deluxe king size room is perfect for a couple, very spacious with a modern bathroom. Start the day with the complementary in-room filter Kōkako coffee before and indulge in a buffet breakfast that offers a selection of fresh fruits, cereals, and wellness shots as well as the classic hot options and made-to-order eggs. Then make your way to the outdoor heated pool.
From check-in to check-out, generous service, delicious dining, and peaceful serenity make for a memorable staycation just 30 minutes from downtown Auckland. And as an added bonus, it’s dog friendly too!
