Great location. Quite old property thats been refurbished but still has the feeling of a church camp. Pleasant but very basic rooms. Lack of adequate soundproofing between lower and upper floors .... If you're planning on staying here take my advice and don't let them put you on the ground floor of one of the wings that has a second level above. Senior staff very helpful but most junior staff lacking experience and training.

Breakfast options were excellent but not free Our room was left clean The hallway never looked vacuumed. There was always the same bits and pieces on the floor. We loved the balcony for the space and privacy.

Hotel and room were lovely. Amazing view to wake to. Pool was a nice amenity. Only flaw was the breakfast. Both my husband and I felt sick after eating each day and options for cooked egg were limited.

Fantastic location next to Treaty grounds where you can explore the history of NZ. About a 30 minute walk into the centre of town where the ferries run to Russell Island or the boat trips for dolphin viewing.
