    Great and pretty place, I really enjoyed super-friendly personnel.

    All in all, it was brilliant base for traveling to Whangarei. The venue's position was very central. The hotel was just next door to the heart of Whangarei. The restaurant was awesome for all meals here, I had hot dishes. Separate bathroom was fairly clean.

    Overall clean property with accommodating staff from the receptionist during check in & check out. Great location, around 4-6 minutes away by foot from Claphams Clock Museum. Positioned in the fairly quiet area, near to nearby marina which is also host to a great selection of restaurants, a supermarket and other restaurants in the area.

    It was in a central location, in the centre in need of replacement. What's more, it was near shops and movies, the Bay of Islands prices and the town basin which looks stunning at night.

    The a twin room was newly decorated and stocked with a view. The location was favourable, within easy walking distance of Town Basin Marina. The main shopping center and a market were right next door.

    As for me, the area was horrible.

    We appreciated being in this property. We stayed in double room with separate spacious bedroom. Its location was indeed great and unbeatable and only 5 minutes walk from Town Basin Marina.

    The room was tidy and newly remodelled with a view, and we slept very well. The hotel was in an unbeatable location right by the town centre and marina and Close to the Marina and shops nice. Furthermore, to all the boats.

    Shame the bathroom was a little small.
