The location of the hotel is great, right by the sea and not far from restaurants. There is convenient parking space. Please note that there is a credit card processing fee for paying with a credit card.

Loved this place!! Rooms upstairs were fabulous. Debbie & John were great hosts. They haven't been there long. Very relaxing atmosphere. Be great to go back, when they put their own stamp on it. Bar snacks need to be looked at, which they were open to discuss.

My favourite hotel in NZ (both islands included). It combines the cleanliness and modernity that is usually characteristic of a fancy 5 star hotel, but in the cosy space of a family owned business with the level of concern and detail that can only be attributed to those of us who work hard and build a business on one’s own reputation. Every single day my room was serviced and immaculately cleaned, and the staff went out of their way to make our stay more pleasant and comfortable. It’s only walking distance from the main ***** of shops and cafés, and the beachside walk is worth it just to catch a glimpse of the occasional seal or dolphin. Jen and Warren have poured their hearts into this hotel, creating a space most welcoming and warm, emanating creativity and good style. I won’t stay anywhere else.

1. if booking the historic waterfront room then need to stipulate you want the one with balcony facing towards township and sun (as per website advertised photos with three windows facing water outlook) as otherwise might be disappointed at checkin as was I- we were instead put in the “other” historic room (in fact this being a junior suite room layout if look at website photos) which was facing away from township and sun; 2. Beware price gouging; 3. Do not expect service of room despite 4.5 star rating; 4. Do not expect request for delayed checkout to be honoured, as when I requested 11am checkout as offered by the hotelier ( which was confirmed by email) I was then left a rude note questioning my “late” departure.

We stayed upstairs in main lodge and had great views over the sea. Small deck off room was great for an evening cocktail. Roams are cozy, but comfortable and nicely remodeled in a modern style. Perfect location along the esplanade and easy walk to town or restaurants. Not sure if they have all new staff or what but they were not knowledgeable about much of anything. We paid for the continental breakfast- don’t bother. Questionable at best and worst of our trip. They had huge espresso machines(part of the bar) but the gal setting out breakfast said she didn’t know how to use it. She brewed a pot of coffee. No fresh fruit or pastries, croissants, etc. Just dry cereal with canned fruit and yogurt.

We had a lovely stay in the hotel in room 9 overlooking the sea (and with an external balcony facing the seafront). The room was large and comfortable with a good size bathroom (and lovely toiletries). Staff were friendly and welcoming and there was free parking alongside the hotel. Nice to walk into town along the promenade to visit the restaurants (about 1 km). In the opposite direction you can walk (or drive) to the local seal colony (definitely worth seeing!). The hotel has a lovely private garden courtyard at the rear for guests and provides a continental breakfast.

The rooms are extremely small, perhaps the smallest room I have been in. It is clean and the bed is relatively comfortable. Great location. Small things like the towel hooks had fallen off and not been replaced. In the tight space there was nowhere to hang a towel. This hotel would be okay for one night.

Quaint older hotel with lots of charm. Stayed in the main building - our room had a large balcony, great bathroom and comfy bed. We were greeted with lots of recommendations for dining and activities. Breakfast was a little basic, but standard continental. The staff in the breakfast room however, outstanding, kind and friendly. Unfortunately we didn’t get to have a drink in the lounge as it was closed @ 7pm.

This hotel has an excellent location and provides cleanly lodging. There is a delightful garden with colorful flowers and lovely lake views are right across the road. A delicious breakfast was included in the cost of our stay. I recommend this hotel.
