This was part of a longer trip for us, a road trip of the South Island, What a wonderful gem we found. All the staff were lovely, the room facilities were more than we thought, the breakfast room was lovely, Even though we might never visit this area again (we are from the UK) we would definately recommend to our friends wanting to visit the area. Thank you for a lovely stay xxx

Well worth staying here
A very nice hotel located at the side of the marina. The room was spacious and comfortable although I would have preferred a harder mattress. There’s a restaurant within 100 yards, but we preferred to take a 20 minute walk into town where there is a wider choice.

Great place to stay before Abel Tasman
Belinda was an amazing host. We stayed here before and after the Abel Tasman. She was kind enough to store baggage for us during our hike. I recommend paying a little bit more for the harbour view if possible as it was beautiful to wake up to.

The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Our stay included breakfast which was great. The room itself was really nice with the small balcony looking over a marina being a lovely sunny spot to sit and relax in the afternoon.

Fantastic hotel. Our room overlooked the marina. We enjoyed a great meal at the restaurant right by the hotel. The free breakfast was a nice surprise. The shower was great as was the room. Easy walk to downtown along the river. The Queen's Garden was beautiful. Thanks for having such a nice place to rest our weary bodies.
