The people managing the property are extremely nice people, the hotel is okay for the one night we stayed the only downside to me was the location. I assumed it was very close to the ocean however despite being on the city marina, it feels more like it is in the industrial park of the city.

This was part of a longer trip for us, a road trip of the South Island, What a wonderful gem we found. All the staff were lovely, the room facilities were more than we thought, the breakfast room was lovely, Even though we might never visit this area again (we are from the UK) we would definately recommend to our friends wanting to visit the area. Thank you for a lovely stay xxx

Well worth staying here

A very nice hotel located at the side of the marina. The room was spacious and comfortable although I would have preferred a harder mattress. There’s a restaurant within 100 yards, but we preferred to take a 20 minute walk into town where there is a wider choice.
