The room was good but had to ask for extra items during the week as they ran out. Loved the pool and spa. Very friendly staff.

Everything was excellent! The room and other facilities were sparkling clean, the parking was easy and convenient, and the breakfast was good. I had a very comfortable stay and would definitely stay here again!

Oaks Wellington Hotel
The room we had was of generous proportions and we were on 8th floor with a view out to the harbour. If could fault it was because the bathroom didn't have any hooks to hang things on and it didn't seem to have an exhaust system for when the shower was running.
