Really close to the beach, supermarket around the corner. Very quiet and relaxing.
Pros:

It’s old but well renovated. Kitchen well equipped and modern. Nice little deck with peep of the sea. Housekeeping did a great job.

Cons:

Reception is way down the back - confusing to find.

Great views - good location, friendly staff, good clean room - would stay again, thankyou!
Pros:

We had a sea view apartment - view was lovely & included a large open air verandah. Location was good (town is kind of split in 2 & the hotel wasn't located in the town centre end, but was a short car drive or was a walkable distance). Staff were nice. Room amenities were good. Good location for access to ferries to either Russell or the Hole In The Rock tours. Overall - would definitely stay there again!!!

Cons:

Didn't like the pillows, but that is a personal thing!. Had 2 climb quite a few stairs with luggage to get to higher floor, but the view was worth it! The carparks were on the "narrow" side, but workable. No television in the bedroom (only an issue for hubby lol) and the tv in the main area of the apartment was a little on the "small side", but basic issues!

Pros:

I liked the parking & the well appointed 1br unit. It was nice & clean. Staff were really helpful & left my key for me inside the unit because I was arriving late. That was so helpful. Would definitely book & stay again.
