Great spot, super handy to cbd so we could walk everywhere. Staff all very professional & looked impeccable, certainly no friendly banter though! Showers needed more pressure! Rooms getting serviced at 5pm was a pain but understand they were super busy.

This hotel is a scam! Don't come here, avoid at all cost. I booked a accessable room for two nights, I left after the first. The hotel is not 4 stars, it's more like 2 stars. The carpet makes my wheelchair sink - clearly not wheelchair accessible.o The bathroom is small and has tilted floors that make it a mission to use. The staff didn't even refund me for my nights stay - for the amount of money they charged me - this is definitely a scam. Like I said, avoid this hotel at all cost, they'll do anything to steal from you. Google and TripAdvisor should be sued they even allow these morons on their platform.

The hotel has had a makeover keeping to an 'old school' hotel charm. The stay was just what we needed after a long kayak and hike in the Abel Tasman national park. Central and within walking distance to the centre of town

Staying in a corner suite, the space was comfortable, tidy and great to have a microwave, hob, and fridge. Unfortunately the noise from the street below makes for a less-than-restful experience. This might be improved by having double glazing on the windows. As it is, the windows let in cold air from outside

Exactly what I needed after doing a 4 day great walk!... The beds were incredibly comfy, the food was delicious and the staff were so eager to make sure your stay was perfect. The room came with all the facilities I needed, I really couldn't have wished for anymore! Highly recommend.
