We stayed in the thick of Waitangi preparations, so it was understandably busy. The room was fine enough for our needs as we were only there for two nights. Staff were helpful, and checking in and out was easy. We were misgendered on our welcome letter (Mr & Mrs Sykes, instead of Mr & Mr Sykes), but mistakes happen

Go ahead and book, clean and affordable. Rooms a little dated. Pools are weird with strange unclear access but lovely surroundings. One warm pool but has chipped debis floating in water. No complaints about the food, desserts were delicious, breakfast was a buffet with a lot of choice. Ask what nights dinner is buffet, we missed out and got disappointed. Husband is a large eater and the fine dining portion doesn’t cut it. Eye fillet great, King fish such a small portion it was ridiculous

Loved the location of this hotel. The concierge Dimitri was very attentive but the restaurant staff were not on the ball. We had to wait over an hour for our pudding and when we raised this it was dismissed and told we didn’t wait that long. The breakfast was not kept tidy throughout the service and there were many spillages around the cooked breakfast area. The pool area was lovely. The bedroom was spacious but some of the fittings had seen better days. Wood was warped and chipped around the fridge. The Waitaingi treaty grounds were excellent and easy access from the hotel.
