5 out of 5

Perfectly located charming traditional hotel

Pros: A refreshing change from the sterile feel of a lot of modern hotels. Very traditional and charming.
Cons: Maybe a lick of paint here and there. Robes in bathroom.
Location: Excellent location for ferry to Waiheke Island which is an absolute must see.
This hotel is the perfect escape from the city of Auckland yet only a short ferry journey or shuttle from the airport or city centre. Plenty of beautiful walks around the coast and a couple of local beaches. Adequate eating places for excellent seafood and other cuisine.
