Beautiful room overlooking the harbour. Very clean room and friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Easy to walk into town (about 30 mins) or to walk to the museums and ‘Centre of NZ’ along the picturesque river. Quiet area for comfortable sleeping and plenty of parking. Highly recommended.

I loved having the upstairs room with the view of the marina, and the privacy that the room offered. The complimentary continental breakfast every morning was great. The kitchen was limited but offered a good choice of hot drinks. The staff were great and very friendly.
