good viewconvenient locationearly check-out

The room had a good view and the location proved convenient. I guess that's fine.

Check-out at 10:00 AM seemed rather early. They claimed this hour was standard in New Zealand. I think offering an extra hour would improve customer service.

i found this hotel a great base for exploring the bay of islands. my studio on the top floor had a terrace and kitchenette. the large pool area also includes heated plunge pools. the beach in front had sand, unlike the pebbly beach around the corner.

my room had some rough spots, like chipped edges and paint chips. the electric plugs also seemed a little unsafe. i think better upkeep should be standard for the price.
