Rydges Formosa Auckland Golf Resort

Cleaning and maintenance: The room itself was nice but there were a couple of dead bugs on the bathroom floor upon arrival. And some of the lights didn’t work. Service: The breakfast buffet had a good variety. Great cocktails and lovely service from the bar. The views outside the main building were amazing. One recommendation to the front desk staff: please provide your guests with information regarding transportation if they do not have their own vehicle. I was new to the area and was not informed to book a taxi since uber is not always available or reliable from that location. Transportation: If you do not have a car, you may have to walk a while to the main building. That is dependant on what room you are staying in. I recommend Vish who provides taxi service and lives in the area. He saved me from missing my flight home. - Contact details are available at reception.

We had a great stay & wished to extend unfortunately we have to come home for other plans. The room, bathroom area & all contents were great, spacious & clean as well. We would love to visit in the near future & allow enough time to explore the golf area & outdoor area more. Pleased with great thanks 🌺

The only reason I’d ever return is to use the golf facilities—everything else was incredibly disappointing. We paid $30 per person for breakfast, which was a joke. The buffet included only scrambled eggs, overcooked bacon, hash browns, a bowl of yoghurt, and some old fruit. There were two juice pitchers, both completely empty the entire time, and no one came to check on us or offer coffee. No water, no juice, no ice—just basic, poor-quality food and zero effort. Dinner was just as underwhelming. The skewers were okay and the bread with dip was decent, but the chicken main was inedible-under-seasoned, weird texture. The gnocchi was bland and mushy; we couldn’t eat more than a bite. Plated poorly The room was cold, outdated, and poorly maintained. Dirty bath, stained pillows, and we found both a cockroach and a huge spider inside. Only three pillows for two people, no table, and extremely uncomfortable beds. The walls are paper-thin—we listened to crying children through the night and were woken at 6am by noise from next door. No room service, no water or ice station, and when we asked for a plate or cutlery to enjoy our own food, we were told no. Housekeeping arrived at 5pm, while we were trying to get ready, and staff were rude and dismissive throughout our stay. While the golf course was in good condition, it’s run separately with no accommodation packages available. Overpriced, poorly run, and not worth the money. Avoid unless you’re only there to play golf.
