“The Convent struck me as a delightful paradox: a building steeped in history, yet surprisingly close to the pulse of Auckland's best neighborhoods; it's a place where the rooms, though compact, possess a certain charm that's hard to resist. Ada restaurant is worth experiencing. It's a rare find that balances character with convenience.”
