    I had an a nice size room with comfortable bed and a fridge, an electric kettle and an air conditioning. As for me, wake-up service available, and stunning views were advantages. The provided service was exceptional!

    lovely view
    helpful staff

    enjoy fine views and really good service in a beautifully designed hotel with helpful staff

    The room was large, with two double beds that provided a very sound sleep while listening to the waves. Convenient beach access.

    The views from our Superior Twin Room were amazing, and the food at the restaurant definitely hit the spot! A couple of service hiccups, but overall, a solid experience.

    pleasant stay but service inconsistency

    The hotel was clean, and the room was well-appointed with modern furnishings. The location is excellent, with easy access to local attractions. The female receptionist on duty the next day provided really good service and were great too assist us.

    The male receptionist we encountered at check-in was unhelpful concerning our request for a late check-out.

    The Beautiful Twin room was super clean and modern, with a lovely scandi vibe. The bed and pillows were sooo comfy-slept like a baby! The pool and gym looked great, but we didn't have much time to check them out. I really enjoyed the little touches, like the variety of pillows.

    beautiful hotel
    comfortable bed
    clean modern room

    The hotel has a beautiful hotel and an excellent location just a 2-minute walk from the main shops. The clean, modern room was well-appointed with a comfortable bed. I especially appreciated the restaurant's food service and the use of Te Reo Maori for signage throughout the hotel. Free parking was an added convenience .

    saltwater pool
    friendly staff
    delicious food
    bar service delay

    Had a blast with my friends here. The saltwater pool was a highlight, and the food options were delicious at the on-site restaurant. We could easily visit Dolphin Encounter and Point Kean Viewpoint with just a short drive. The staff was friendly, and the rooms were modern and comfortable. Highly recommend this place for a group getaway.

    We did experience some delays with the bar service at the hotel, where it took longer than expected to get our drinks during happy hour.
