Recently renovated period property with modern annexe. Very friendly and helpful staff. Our Executive Room was contemporary and stylish. It was spotlessly clean and nice and quiet. The hotel serves good pub food. It is located in the centre of a small, rather down-at-heel town near the Bombay Hills, south of Auckland.

Refurbished to a high standard, our room had many facilities available if required. Our bathroom had a shower and a spa bath, plus bathrobes and slippers should you need them.
A restaurant on site, also a bonus.
