Best hotel we have stayed in during our time in New Zealand. Only downside was really poor slow internet that wasn’t really useful for anything. Beach views were fantastic on the 3rd floor.

Nice hotel, clean and comfortable room, we had an ocean front room great view and nice to hear the ocean roaring at night. Balcony was just concrete looked a bit average. Walking distance to shops and cafes. Did have dinner at the restaurant which was okay, would try else where next time.

We loved the ocean view from our room, it was a lovely stopover for the night in a great location with nearby takeaways etc. Everything seemed great with the room - lots of space and an unexpected spa bath being a lovely surprise! However I woke up in the morning to 21 bites all over my back which weren’t there the night before so that put a bit of a downer on the stay wondering what was in the bed with us! Otherwise everything else was lovely.
