All rooms have a great view of the ocean and hotel pool. Service was outstanding and in house restaurant is Pure Tastes which is great. Cost was well worth it.

Fantastic service - the reception ladies were very well presented and very helpful! They booked airport transfers, winery tours, restaurants and spa treatments with no hassles!
The room was immaculate complete with a bottle of bubbly on arrival!
The view has to been seen to be believed - panoramic view's of the Bay of Islands and overlooking the Waitangi Treaty Grounds!
It was absolute luxury staying at this Hotel!

Our three nights here were lovely. Great views, the pool is wonderful & the staff incredibly friendly and helpful - we took recommendations from the evening receptionist in particular who was very knowledgeable about the area and recommended places we wouldn't have necessarily come across via the guide books. The breakfasts were huge - and delicious. Dinner was a little disappointing - fine but not all it promised, although the staff were lovely.

This hotel stay was for the first part of our tour around New Zealand and was meant to be a chance to relax. The first impressions of the hotel was modern yet welcoming, the reception was small but gave an intimate feel and with only two floors you could feel the luxury of the place. We were staying for 3 nights in the apartment suite, with two rooms, a private patio leading directly into the spa and pool area, well equipped with laundry room, a kitchen, sitting room and free broadband, nothing more was to be asked for. The hotel restaurant was very near, quite small but this was fine as we were nearly the only people there during our stay. We dined in the restaurant 2 nights, 3 breakfasts and one lunch and each time the staff were very friendly and the food was lovely with an acceptable waiting time. On trying the spa I found it relaxing and enjoyable and an acceptable price for the area. The only downside was that of the 5 heated pools only 2 were usable and the other pool was too cold, but as advertised was water from the sea so was to be expected.The noise from the road never bothered us, I would highly recommend this hotel and will be going back again.
