Quest Takapuna
Kitchenette apartments 2.7 km from Takapuna Beach
About this hotel
Takapuna Beach is 2.7 kilometres from this apartment hotel, close enough for a morning walk or a swim without needing a car, and the Harbour Bridge sits 7 kilometres away for the crossing back into the CBD. Family rooms come with kitchenettes, and private check-in, concierge service and daily housekeeping keep the self-catering setup from feeling like a bare-bones apartment stay. A washing machine and dishwasher suit a longer visit, and bicycle parking makes exploring the North Shore's beach suburbs straightforward. Guests consistently rate the room cleanliness, staff attentiveness and convenient location as the property's strongest points. The North Shore setting keeps the pace noticeably calmer than the CBD across the bridge, while still leaving the Sky Tower and the harbour crossing within a reasonable, straightforward drive for anyone wanting a day in the city centre.

Our take
This suits families and longer-staying travellers who want beach access on the North Shore without paying CBD prices. The kitchenette and washing machine make it workable for a week or more, and the 7-kilometre distance to the Harbour Bridge keeps the CBD within a reasonable drive. Travellers wanting to walk to the Sky Tower each evening should base themselves in the city centre instead.
- Walk to Takapuna Beach in the morning before the day's plans start, it's under three kilometres
- Use the washing machine partway through a longer stay rather than packing for the whole trip
- Book bicycle parking if exploring the North Shore suburbs, several beaches sit within easy riding distance
Why we love it

Why guests love itQuest Takapuna is a North Shore apartment hotel 2.7 kilometres from Takapuna Beach, close enough to make the beach a regular morning outing on a longer stay. Kitchenette family rooms let a family cook simple meals and keep its own pace, and private check-in makes arrival easy. The Harbour Bridge is about 7 kilometres away for trips into the centre.
