The best pool we've seen. Just an issue with cleanliness of this property. The pool had hairs, lots of debris floating around, it makes one feel unclean and perhaps needs investment in a good vacuum. House keeping was friendly but again not thorough. We had chunks of hair in the bath and underwear from previous guest in the wardrobe (its probably still there). Main complaint though was the noise. We are a quiet family who like our sleepins. Being right by the pool gate, amongst noisy tourists who slammed doors and yelled dow the corridor from 6.30am, meant we were exhausted and didn't do a lot of what we'd planned. The property itself is beautiful, prime setting, friendly and helpful front of house staff. Coffees on point.

The resort is wonderful, especially for families with children. But that also means NOISE, and lots of it. The central pool area is full of screaming and splashing until 10pm. The buildings seem to be made mostly of wood under the stucco exteriors. So even just walking calmly in a hallway produces lots of sound, and children by nature tend to move more energetically. Our ground floor terrace overlooking the bay was a pleasant place to sit during the day, but a noisy nightmare in the morning and evening.. the rooms above have walkout balconies on top of the ceilings of the rooms below. So it's a constant thud thud THUD of doors opening and closing, and people above moving about. In a more modern building, concrete slab construction would eliminate such noise, but the buildings don't have that. No real usable beach on the property (too rocky), thus the extensive outdoor pool area instead. No access to the adjacent Treaty Grounds without paying a $70/person admission fee there, so not much at the resort itself to interest non-children. On-site breakfast buffet was average (basic coffee, some fruit, cereals, hot items). Evening dinner was excellent.

Could be fantastic but old and dates now. Quiet location, nice pool area but freezing cold. Rooms, hallway tired. Breakfast basic but standard selection Again a little money spent could make this great. Rooms upstairs loud if you are on the ground floor I was woken at 4am and 6am. A gym would be great too

This was our 8th stay at the Waitangi Copthorne, we usually go once a year and for the same reason, it is close to home while still feeling like you are on holiday, our children love the pool area and the team are always friendly.
