We enjoyed staying at this property - very clean, sufficient facilities (we cooked, baked and washed clothes), central location and friendly staff. The bathroom is a little bit small, but it has everything we need. We have to use fob to go to our level, feel safe. And the price is not very expensive. We highly recommend staying at this property.

This was our second stay at this hotel, the other having been the previous week. unfortunately our ferry crossing was cancelled because of a storm. Eric was able to extend our stay one night stay for a further night with parking, but sadly they were fully booked for the two extra nights we needed. The location can’t be beat, next to a variety of excellent dining, shopping, and the port area, all within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

We were upgraded to a two bedroom suite, spacious and quiet despite the city centre location. The staff, especially Tamara, were super helpful. The suite kitchen area was fully equipped. I did have trouble with the washer, but Tamara whisked away our laundry to be done free of charge, and returned to our room that afternoon. Upon leaving we booked another stay three days later before our ferry to the South Island.
