We took a long weekend away from the Wairarapa and returned to the Amora; we had forgotten what a superb experience it is! Room service on hight 1, dinner in house night 2 and breakfast both days in house, can't be faulted. First class experience, booked another 2 night stay late July!

I recently stayed at this hotel for a Girls weekend - my 'holiday-at-home' as I live in Wellington. The location is great, really central to The waterfront, Te papa, Courtenay Place and Cuba street. Easy to walk everywhere from here. Rooms were neat and tidy, quite a modern/simple style, but had everything you would need for a short stay -... More
