The hotel offers an outstanding location right across from the beach and is a short walk to Waitangi and the main wharf. While the views and friendly staff were definite highlights, the property itself could use some updates and better maintenance, especially in the outdoor areas. Overall, it's a great value for the price, making it a charming option for travelers looking for a budget-friendly stay.

Our stay started off rocky, especially after a long journey, but things did improve over time. The location is quite nice, being just a short walk from the waterfront, and the room itself was clean and comfortable with a lovely view. However, we faced multiple issues with service at the start, which dampened our experience a bit. Overall, it turned out to be a pleasant stay despite the initial setbacks.

6.4/10

The hotel offers stunning views and has a friendly staff that goes the extra mile, like TOM and BELINDA who really stood out during our stay. However, the facilities need some serious upgrades to justify the high prices, especially considering issues like flooding showers and limited parking options.

Rooms

The room we stayed in had compromised views despite the upgrade, and although it was spacious, the cleanliness left something to be desired with evidence of poor maintenance throughout.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel with stunning views and a great location. The suite was spacious and comfortable, making my three nights there truly enjoyable. Breakfast was included, and the selection was decent. However, there's room for improvement in the kitchen utensils provided in the apartment, especially for families. Parking can be a bit challenging, but the road has safe options. Overall, highly recommended!
