Clean room with excellent staff. Wonderful location in the centre of town and a few yards from the beach. The pool was small but nice and surrounded by well maintained garden, although there were no sun beds. The laundry facilities were very limited and the inroom TV had little choice other than some local channels. Would we stay again - Yes

This beautiful little hotel, tucked away in beautifully landscaped grounds, close to a lovely beach town, not far from downtown Auckland, is a gem. With the beach, water and lots of restaurants nearby, definitely a place I’d love to stay at more than one night. The pool clean and gorgeous, a refrigerator and dishes, guest laundry room, parking on site, all wonderful. The warm welcome at the reception made us feel at home. Loved our stay!
