We had a great stay - would have been improved with some recommendations for somewhere to eat out - given the in-house r
Pros:

Left Bank has been decorated in keeping with its heritage with attention to detail and some lovely touches throughout. Our host, Mihi, was helpful and obliging.

Pros:

I had concerns with parking my motorcycle unattended, and the staff accommodated with no issue by putting my bike locked away from prying eyes and having it on camera. The historical building has been well taken care of and the beds are clean and comfortable. Fantastic showers as well. Thanks again!

Disappointing
Pros:

Beautiful old building with carefully renovated interior

Cons:

The exterior and grounds looked unloved. Front doors of the hotel looked boarded up. We thought that it had been abandoned.
Unfortunately the town is in decline, terrible feeling of lack of safety with dilapidated shops and boarded up homes.

Pros:

Mihi - excellent warm service.
Beautiful decor representing era of the building.

Cons:

It was 90% good. Bed was (appropriately) older spring base style so not as comfortable as modern one.

Overall a nice stay. Host is very friendly and helpful.
Pros:

Location was good. Rooms are quite spacious and clean. Very private.

Cons:

The bath didn’t drain the water properly. Other than that it was all okay. A mini fridge in the room would be better than a common one in the living area.

A Rare Blend of Heritage and Modern Comfort
Pros:

This place is truly a hidden gem in Kaikohe. In a town not widely known for its accommodation options, this property genuinely pushes boundaries, creating local employment, contributing to the town’s revival, and setting a new benchmark for hospitality in the area.
The building itself is a stunning 115-year-old masterpiece, designed in classic New Zealand neo-classical style. The hosts have gone to remarkable lengths to preserve its historic charm while seamlessly incorporating modern comforts. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the beds and showers to the taps, teapots, and furniture, all reflecting an authentic early-1900s look and feel without sacrificing convenience or comfort. It is a rare and beautifully executed blend of history and modern living.
The manager was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and supportive, which made the experience even more memorable. This stay far exceeded our expectations, and we truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates heritage, character, and the chance to experience what a classic stay in the early 1900s might have felt like, elevated to modern standards.

Cons:

Oh..I loved everything!

Great little hotel with heritage features maintained.
Hostess did everything to accommodate us with secure car parking and access.
Pointed us to lovely local historic hotel down the road for friendly bar drink and lovely pub meal.
Gave contact details for Kaikohi Golf club with friendly members and bar.
