We stayed here in February 2013. The hotel room was great, clean, comfortable and reasonable size. Staff were friendly and helpful. Wi fi, internet was not free. We took a few coach trips from this town, i.e. Cape Reinga excursion, '90 mile' beach and the bay of islands in the North Island of New Zealand. The scenery was spectacular and... More

We stayed 2 nights here and in general were happy, the rooms were clean and tidy and the location was good, with walking distance into town. The pool area was small but lovely and enjoyed a nice swim the first day as the hotel was very quiet although the next day it was overrun with children and you apparently had... More

We stayed 3 nights so that we had time see the area we had not visited for 40 years after attending a wedding on our second day. We found the rooms large and comfortable; more than we expected for what we paid. The short walk to the coast and the shops was good - not far at all. We could... More

I was impressed when I walked into my room upon arrival. The staff were friendly and the room was clean and well appointed. However the next day I was less than impressed. I read the card that was in my room. It stated that if I placed my towel/s in the shower they would be replaced and the bed would... More

I stayed here for two nights whilst on a contiki tour, and found the hotel quite pleasant. The hotel staff were really friendly and accommodating. The room, whilst basic, was clean and had everything I needed. The bathroom was really spacious and clean. The breakfast was decent for a continental style buffet... there was even fresh fruit!! The laundry services... More

The room was very big with a double bed and a single bed. There was a fridge and tea/coffee facilities in the room. We used the guest laundry which... More

Booked the hotel for 1 night stay during my North Island tour. We tired after a long drive , reached the hotel at 10.30pm and had friendly staff wait up for us and give us the room keys – Impressive Got into the room, found an old plasma box ( TV) which had only 3 channels ( Doesn’t matter as...

Had to ask for toilet paper, room not vacuumed once in a week. Coffee cups were not clean on arrival and only rinsed while there. Roof had mould near the bathroom also. Is cheap and easy walk to town if these are over looked or you get a room without mould

Quite a good hotel to stay in my only complaint would be the 3 tv channels available and no free wifi although you can get it outside the local library. Its not too far to walk to the sea front. It has a small swimming pool thar you have to prebook before you use it.
