"Above and beyond service and friendliness. Our host was exceptional at check in, providing a complimentary fresh warmed blueberry muffin for each traveler. Rooms were warm, clean & comfortable. Common area spacious, friendly, very well equipped, with complementary coffee, vegetable soup (home made!), popcorn. Full kitchen. Also a gym and spa available.
Our departure from the region was delayed, and we were allowed access to the common area after check out by the very generous host.
HIGHLY recommended."
"Angela was a superb host. So warm and welcoming. The rooms are excellent with lots of thought put in to the little things that make a stay special like - the fireplace in the room and the comfy lounge chairs. Definitely the best place we have stayed during our two weeks roadtrip around the South Island."
"Exceptional location. Loved sleeping to the sound of the waves. Very comfortable beds and spacious room. Staff were friendly and attentive. Meal was high quality. I thought the drinks were expensive and over 300 % mark up on the wine was excessive"
"Beachfront Hotel is absolute beachfront. Walking distance to all amenities - cafes, restaurants, supermarket, beach walks. Terrific to have an on site laundry when you are travelling around New Zealand. Highy recommend this hotel."
