Would have liked to give 5 stars, but....

Our check-in was delayed in the reception - not fault of the adm in lady, but.... it was dissappointing considering we had plans that afternoon - and that wait time chewed into what we had hoped to have time to do. The room (ground floor with 'ocean' view) was lovely, the bed super comfy, the view to the inner waterway (not ocean) was good enough. Bathroom was a good size but the shower pressure was very poor. Good to get 4 towels even though we didn't use all of them. Kitchenette was small but functional for our one night needs. The night was long - party time for the guests close by on their balcony - they talked really loud right till 2 or 3 in the morning. No fault of the hotel, but it would have been nice to have had a phone number to ring to get someone to tell them to shut up! A long sleepless night. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant so can't comment on that.
Milk given - tiniest bottle - a miniature and lucky I didn't take milk, just hubby (not that they asked), because he had just enough for himself.  Really?  Cannot think of any reason to give such a tiny bottle the size of a nail polish bottle.

Modern, attractive accommodation in an excellent location right next to the sea. Lovely views and fast access to walking/cycling trails. Rooms are clean and attractive. All have a balcony. We did not eat at the hotel as there are many good, local options. It is a good price point and works well for visiting area attractions if you have a car.

All round excellent experience in Napier. Warm welcome from owner who runs a great hotel on the seafront. Spotlessly clean with spacious sea facing rooms. Close to some excellent restaurants and within a short walk to the Art Deco city centre

Our room was nice, there was not enough toilet paper or towels, as well as needing to ask for more, the book with instructions was hard to read due to being old and it would be more convenient if the room had a sink. Also the sliding door in the bedroom was covered in seagull poo, didn’t make for viewing out, also the guests down below in the restaurant early were extremely loud, difficult to sleep through, overall a good stay
