Cuprona Holidays from NZ$1,328

Although updated and clean, and good budget rooms, the walls are not soundproof and there was a locked door between rooms with gaps. Could hear everyone's toiletting and conversations, door slamming etc.. View from room was over the bay but the industrial wharf site and wood chip pile was in front of the bay.

This time we stayed and it wasn’t great. They know 3 of us stay in room and each day cleaner only put 2 towels. We had to approach front receptionist to request more towels. On 3rd day - cleaners forgot to come and clean our room. We had to approach receptionist to get it cleaned. They did clean it but still 2 towels so we looked at cleaner and said it’s 3 of us so she added one more towel. They did not check shampoo and shower gel bottles - they ran out and we let receptionist know. They did not restock it until we departed. Hotel room has strong smell through air vent from Asian restaurant in ground floor inside Novotel. They will need to build stronger air vent to avoid smell going up to rooms. It happens during evening time. This is not first time. It happened with earlier stay too. Lovely building and centrally located in Devonport town. Accessible to bus and shops.

Premium harbour villas are lovely and renovated, with a great view of the Strahan harbour. Not a lot of places to eat during winter.
