First time here today…and I’ll be back!

Great atmosphere and playlist, indoor or outdoor seating, bathroom on site, warm, friendly and thoughtful service from the team of two - nothing was a trouble - and my Rainbow Wrap delicious and very generous in size.

And as important - coffee excellent(I had two)!

Breakfast out in this inner city location (border Fortitude Valley/New Farm right on the 199 bus route City/New Farm Ferry) is such a different experience to going out for Brekky in the coastal location where I live, and I really enjoyed the change.

Many thanks Cafe On team. See you next time!
Virgin Lounge

I held Velocity Silver Status Membership this year, and used the second of my two included Lounge passes this afternoon before travelling back home to the GC.

Access to Lounge extremely easy as entry located on the right immediately after Security. Straight up Donna on Reception was warm, professional, friendly and welcoming. Thanks Donna!

On entering saw an extremely busy and full Lounge (understandable being late afternoon Friday). I eventually found myself a little table for one and for the next 2 hours enjoyed the comfort of the Lounge, and also some food and a glass of sparkling (Hardys The Riddle) which was all quite delicious.

Really liked that staff members were moving regularly throughout this large area, with all its nooks and crannies, clearing dirty plates and glasses, the good array of food and beverage on offer, and the clean (attendant on site) and modern bathroom w the luxury Appelles Hand and Body Wash and Body Lotion.

Not sure when I’ll get back into The Lounge again, but certainly do enjoy access when I can, especially when the terminals are always so busy
Auckland Airport

I wasn't impressed with the International Arrival areas, but VERY impressed when departing the International today.

A modern, clean, light filled and very thoughtfully designed terminal for all travellers (including the littlest ones🧒) with clear signage, triple bins, water refill stations, many and varied food and beverage options, and plenty of bathrooms right throughout including nearby (from what I experienced) to all gates.

I wish I’d had more time to experience some of the facilities, but for once, arrived only 45 minutes till boarding. So…next time!

For now, congratulations to all involved on a wonderful facility.
