Fantastic location next to Treaty grounds where you can explore the history of NZ. About a 30 minute walk into the centre of town where the ferries run to Russell Island or the boat trips for dolphin viewing.

Verified traveller

Ferries run 6.00am (but start engines at 5.30am) and run until 10.00pm. Once they stopped guys came and started jet washing and scraping the wharf slipway - at 11pm.... right outside the room. Very Noisy. Hard to sleep
