"Fantastic location! A hop, skp and a jump from ferry port and shell beach. The oldest hotel in New Zealand. There for New Years Eve, could not have picked a better hotel. Certainly would be back again. Fantastic!" - Matthew Poulton
"Excellent boutique type hotel right on the foreshore. Very pleasant staff and outlook. The room was basic however. Breakfast was also included but again fairly basic - straight continental with no trimmings. However would stop there again as great value for money! " - Julie Allan
"The location of this hotel was excellent, but the standard of accommodation was a little disappointing. The room was large, but there was no heating and no view, which detracted from our stay." - Anonymous
"I stayed in this hotel many years ago as a young child with my parents. This stay was partly a trip down Memory Lane. I was curious to see what if anything I remembered about the hotel. The hotel is in a beautiful position adjacent to the Russell Pier and very close to all the amenities available." - Yolanda Nichols
