Easy location from ferry and parking, wonderful character rooms and dining, quiet in evenings but roadworks outside in May2024. Views and walks on beach are lovely, restaurants/coffee bars everywhere. Several top Op shops closeby! Winter rates so stay a few days!

Very disappointing stay
The hotel is badly in need of a total makeover we got upgraded to a suite as they don’t do breakfast anymore the suite is furnished in a mish mash of very old tired furniture there were plastic flowers in the room!! The TV didn’t work and because we only discovered this late in the evening there was nobody to contact . Tried to use an iron and it was unusable due to the dirt on it the shower turned suddenly cold after a number of minutes all in all a disappointing stay however the staff were very helpful but management need to look at the accommodation they are providing particularly as after 5 weeks in New Zealand it was our last night and the most expensive !!

The hotel has a spectacular location right by ferry terminal. The rooms were large and had high ceilings with water view. The reception closes at 8pm and we felt a bit lonely in the hotel. Able to swim right off the beach by hotel. Wonderful. Best local restaurants were French Cafe and Signal Hill. About 45 minutes to airport.
