What a gem of a hotel! The staff was so welcoming. We had a wonderful breakfast, better than the three other hotels we’ve stayed at on this holiday. The room was clean and the bathroom may have been on the smaller side but it was sparklingly clean and the shower was very roomy. We will plan to stay again next time in Tauranga.

Superior accommodation close to the waterfront. Easy access to the best parts of Tauranga. Modern and well presented, this accommodation was easily the best of all those we stayed at in our week long North Island trip. Friendly and helpful host. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to others.

As I was stuck in evening traffic, I almost missed the manned check-in time which was 18:00. However, I noticed I got reminder messages sent to me through multiple channels such as emails, SMS and Expedia, it was a kind reminder telling me how I can pick up my key card after office hours. At the end I made it on time, so I got to meet with the receptionist and he offered me free milk for my drinks in the room too, very considerate.
