Convenience and Comfort
The Copthorne was the perfect place to stay during our visit to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds - right next door. Good food and we had dinner delivered as room service one evening. Good hearty breakfast. Truly outstanding concierge, Dimitri. Very comfortable bed, good room a/c which we only used for sleeping cool. Beautiful view and nice small patio to enjoy the outdoors. Everything we needed and it was so nice we extended our stay for a third night.
