Very happy with our dinners in the restaurant and more than happy with our room. Thank you
Pros:

The service and the upgraded room exceeded my expectations although the Staff are always so nice. The upgraded room was brilliant. My partners has bad knees so a large groundfloor room was magic. We will request room 26 when we book next

Cons:

I dont like the tiny pods of milk and there wasnt enough coffee sachets.

Lovely place to stay.
Pros:

A very quaint stylish hotel. I loved the clean family atmosphere restaurant - and not far from other amenities.

Pros:

We needed a hotel half between Whanganui and the Bay of Islands. My expectations were not high but we were happily surprised! Very comfy beds, walking distance to the hotel's bar and restaurant.
