From Auckland heading North take exit 419, turn left and you will find us a few hundred metres down the road on your right. We are approximately 8 minutes drive from the City Centre, right next to the Takapuna Golf course, a 2 minute drive from North Shore Hospital/Hospice and Fairway Lodge.

Within minutes of the hotel you will find the North Shore Events Centre, North Harbour Stadium and the Bruce Mason Centre, where all major concerts, sports games and conventions on the North shore take place.

Since new ownership in November 2004, the Poenamo has been undergoing a major refurbishment program. In 2010 we opened our new reception and added our new deluxe studio which doubles as a conference facility. In 2011 all 18 Poolside Studios were completely refurbished having all had kitchens and brand new furniture installed and bathroom upgrades.

Our hotel restaurant has re-opened under new management as "The Backyard" restaurant/bar or for the big game you may prefer 'Pat's Garage' our onsite sports bar. Also on site we have Gengys Mongolian BBQ Buffet, Hell Pizza, Kebab Fuel, Yim Siam Thai Restaurant, Handi Indian restaurant and Super Liquor Poenamo. The Poenamo is an icon on the North Shore, being the first Hotel around. We have a strong history of supporting sports team, including many previous All Black teams.
