"Great character and an idylic setting on the waterfront, very relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff - a must when visiting the Bay of Islands!" - Sarah Bates
"Be honest: nobody can beat the location in Russel, next to the waterfront and the people ferry to Pahia. Hotel is old and charateristic, but a bit smelly and could do with a good cleaning. Very helpful staff and the restaurant is pretty good. " - Rob Koster
"The rooms facing the Bay of Islands offer a fantastic view. We had a rear facing room onto the deck which provided all the facilities we needed." - Anonymous
"Location brilliant, cleaning of rooms vg, but some aspects poor:
breakfast limited variety and not always well-cooked , coffee cold, toaster very slow
no internet or email access, only one chair in room. No lounge dedicated to guests, hotel seemed more interested in its restaurant than in its guests. Nowhere in room to hang long skirts or dresses.
