They removed the boarding pass printer from the lounge a couple of years back, as SYD airport was ripping them off.
We also wasted an hour en route to AKL from SYD, going back and forth.
The Koru Lounge was OK in SYD, the AKL one was much better.
The best one in SYD I thought was the Kris Flyer lounge.
