Wonderful hotel!
My husband and I spent 3 nights here and were very pleased with our experience. Staff were friendly and professional, check in was quick and easy, our room was comfortable and had everything we needed. We had breakfasts in the hotel restaurant which were very nice. We also ate a dinner there and were impressed by the quality and beautiful presentation of our meal. The hotel’s location is probably its biggest attraction, and rightfully so. We were delighted to be able to walk everywhere!

Fabulous location. Nice eclectic feel, great room with excellent amenities. Like most of New Zealand, clean, fresh and exhilarating. A lot like the UK back in the 70s, before the country was overrun.
