The Spencer on Byron hotel is a quiet and tranquil vacation retreat, with full amenities and right on the seaside Takapuna Beach suburb. Known as “life-style” city, Takapuna’s attractions are great for vacationers looking for something close enough to Auckland so as to not feel too distant, and far enough away to feel relaxed, away from the sometimes overwhelming bustle of any city. Takapuna, filled with caf?s, arts club, Berkeley cinema, Westfield shopping center, and of course, the spectacular beach, with crystal clear waters and white sands, is a necessary stopover for Auckland goers. With amenities stretching from gymnasium to heated outdoor pool –great for fall and winter swimming, with panoramic views stretching over the city of Auckland, Jacuzzi, nearby golf, and a flood-lit tennis court, the Spencer on Byron is hard to pass up for Takapuna beach goers.
