Good place to stay with family , thought place was better than what could make up from website when booked. Enjoyed staying overnight with family. 4 stars because couple of things -Body Wash in bathroom dispenser was not working and plumbing was jamming a bit in sink- however did not bother so decided not to escalate to staff.

We had an awesome stay with our family over the New Year period. Even though the hotel was right by the main road, we felt very secure knowing our car was safe in the property. The new owners are great to deal with, very accommodating and quick to rectify any issues. The property was clean and the rooms have been updated which feels very modern. Great stay, will definitely be back next time we are in Tauranga/Mount Maunganui
