Ditto on the food in the NZ lounge. They had some entertaining machine that automatically made fresh pancakes...kind of a novelty. Didn't try the showers.

Just one FYI. I do recall that the NZ lounge was the lounge they tried to push all the *A customers to....especially the ones in transit on the UA flight on to Melbourne. SQ let me in, but with a bit of reluctance.
