We have stayed many times but the pool side rooms gave been refurbished since we last stayed & they are much nicer now! Modern, very comfortable bed & lovely bathroom! Facilities are fantastic as well with restaurants, bars & takeaways within a few minutes walk of the rooms. Highly recommended!

The aircon condesation drips into the bathtub, which pools water.
The bathtub does not drain quickly, and was pooling water a couple of inches deep after a 10minute shower. Eventually cleared after an hour.
The doors rattle in a light breeze, and there is little sound proofing.
Staff are friendly though.
No major issues with the room, but the description said kitchenette but that was definitely not the case. There was only a small fridge/freezer, which affected my plans to prepare food.
Staff were friendly and the room was clean, pool area was lovely.

It was a very clean unit and the price was very very competitive. Any further over night stays in Auckland will most definitely be at The Poenamo.

We booked the seperate 1 bedroom cabin. Had plenty of room, nicely decorated and the queen bed was super comfortable. Had a great sleep as the cabin is at the back away from the road. Was clean and tidy. Would happily re book.
The lock to the room was almost broken was a hassle opening the door there was enough supplies to make a single cup of coffee the shower flooded the bed was on wheels on wheels why ?
The dinning room chair was broken seat came flying off landing on my toe
$140 for the night you think you would get better but no I would not recommend staying here from my experience and I have already done so to some colleges informing them that this place was horrible
The room was filthy dirty, kitchen riddled with ants, shower door wouldn't close, shower was moldy, toilet seat didnt even fit toilet, walls a mess and noise from bar next door went on past 12.30pm was the worse stay I have ever had in my life anywhere...disgusting

Enjoyed the bar beside the pool. Good shower and comfortable bed.
Good location friendly staff good value. Lots of food options next door. Golf over road, some rooms are bit basic but they clean everyday. Close to motorway, Takapuna
