Would be useful if had cereal bowls & a toaster in room. Got a jug so why not a toaster. And lift didn’t work most times. Not good for elderly person :/
Kathleen
Room recently renovated. Very happy with our room. Bed extremely comfortable.
Tasha
Excellent service, friendly and understanding staff. We arrived early and were able to check in early, hassle free. I enjoyed the use of the spa and pool. Location and price was perfect for our stay. Parking available right outside our room. The Food was fantastic, it was even delivered to our room (Great room service). Our room was clean, beds were very comfortable I fully recommend booking a room here and will definitely book again.
Wayne
I enjoyed my stay, and was impressed with the staff that I had occassion to interact with. While the rooms were a bit dated and could do with some work, they were spotlessly clean and comfortable. This was the third time we have stayed here and Would be happy to stay again.
Angie

James

Dave
Great helpful staff. Enjoyed our breakfast

Good location with Cbd in close walking proximity.
Apart from spa being unusable (looked like human soup) and rooms having bad condensation overnight due to lack of aircon, would stay here again

We traveled from Auckland for a tournament in Hawera. The price we paid was surprisingly cheap! The amenities were great , the rooms were clean and tidy and had a door we could open to combine our rooms together which was a bonus . We would definitely stay again and recommend to our friends and family.

We stayed 3 nights and the first morning we had no hot water when we went to shower before 8.45am and it hadn’t got hot by 9.30am when we went out.
The 2nd day we were out from early morning until gone 4pm and the room had not been serviced they eventually turned up at 5.20pm to do it. There was a dirty screwed up towel in the cupboard when we arrived which my husband placed in the shower tray when we left, two chairs on balcony but no table and a pot full of cigarette butts ( we don’t smoke). There were a number of plastic bottles blowing around outside(it was very windy) but the cleaning staff just walked past them. We were offered a free breakfast for the lack of hot water which was nice but they need to change the coffee machine it was awful coffee. Would not stay again

We booked this room based on the info and photos on website. Chosen specifically for microwave and jug so that simple food prep could be done to make our trip more convenient. There was nothing in the room. Also shower was over bath which does not work for 84 year old. Disappointed that it was misleading.
