Beautiful room overlooking the harbour. Very clean room and friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Easy to walk into town (about 30 mins) or to walk to the museums and ‘Centre of NZ’ along the picturesque river. Quiet area for comfortable sleeping and plenty of parking. Highly recommended.

Property is in the industrial area around the port. This made it very quiet which was nice, however was a bit more effort for getting meals etc as it meant a drive into town. A few issues with the TV in the room but this was sorted by the second day.
