We stayed in the thick of Waitangi preparations, so it was understandably busy. The room was fine enough for our needs as we were only there for two nights. Staff were helpful, and checking in and out was easy. We were misgendered on our welcome letter (Mr & Mrs Sykes, instead of Mr & Mr Sykes), but mistakes happen

Loved the location of this hotel. The concierge Dimitri was very attentive but the restaurant staff were not on the ball. We had to wait over an hour for our pudding and when we raised this it was dismissed and told we didn’t wait that long. The breakfast was not kept tidy throughout the service and there were many spillages around the cooked breakfast area. The pool area was lovely. The bedroom was spacious but some of the fittings had seen better days. Wood was warped and chipped around the fridge. The Waitaingi treaty grounds were excellent and easy access from the hotel.
