The view was amazing - the sunrise was breathtaking. We loved that the rooms opened out on to a lawn. There was plenty of space in the room - I was able to work at the dining table while hubby watched rugby in the lounge area. Pleasantly surprised at the number and placement of power outlets throughout each room.

There was very little to not like - very minor stuff really. The air pump swing arm was rather clunky and there appeared to be no compendium to explain things like the underfloor heating, SkyTV (although we have Sky at home so it wasn't an issue for us), restaurant guides and the like.

Great location across the road from the beach and a short couple of block walk from the main dining & shopping area

Car park was very average. Had to park the car in a location that was on the exit area and was a tight fit for vehicles to pass through especially when others do not park properly. Being a rental car, any bumps or scratches would have cost me a fortune ..On the last night the number of cars and the tight fit left our rental very vulnerable, so I moved it to the road which (surprisingly) was actually safer

Our stay was 4 nights - Quinn the Manager obliged with a request for earlier check in - which was greatly appreciated. Our ground floor unit was lovely with a very comfy queen bed large bathroom good size kitchen and lounge that opened out onto the patio/lawn and an amazing view!! The housekeeping was next level - and very welcome on return from a day sightseeing. Up market hotel standard.

The carparking space for our unit was limited by a brick wall but we worked around that so not really an issue

Waking up to the sunrise and watching the sun set. The first floor waterfront apartment was a real treat. Easy 5 min walk to cafes, restaurants, and the main jetty. A full kitchenette and a large bathroom, both new and clean. Best value for money. (Laundry required $2 coins.)

The queen mattress was a little soft and possibly touch old as it didn’t feel too supportive but that was absolutely my only complaint

Great place to stay!! the view is magical and could hear the water lapping from our room, the location is perfect with a short stroll to a great selection of eateries and the waterfront, the room was very comfy with all that you need for your stay and a bonus having a separate bedroom. Very lovely owner that we meet on arrival who assisted us...Will definitely stay there again :)

No complaints at all

Great location. Clean rooms. Hosts were nice and welcoming, plus accommodating. Love the view! Would stay here again.

The beds are a bit uncomfortable. Lots of traffic as it sits right off the main road. Laundry facilities could use an upgrade.

Ocean view room is a must over the spectacular bay. Easy walk to shops, restaurants and wharf or to nearby beaches and Waitangi. The unit has separate bedroom, spacious bathroom and kitchen facilities with balcony to enjoy the setting or simply cross the road for a swim.

Wifi was non existent in our room. Traffic noise may bother some but did not really bother us and a trade off for waterfront views.

Great location,close to shops and restaurants Easy walk to ferries and transport links. Position of our unit gave us great views to watch water activity whilst enjoying breakfast or an evening drink before heading out.

There is nothing we did not like.

Comfortable bed and sitting area, parking outside the room, daily servicing of room, spacious bathroom, short walk to shops but far enough away to not have restaurant noise, friendly and helpful staff.

Road noise (but this was compensated for by the direct sea view).
