Firstly we were upgraded which was appreciated , but unfortunately the heat pump didn’t work and it was freezing , eventually a heater was found ,but then the shower drain was blocked and the bathroom flooded into the bedroom , however staff were super quick to come and unblock the drain and mop up the mess.

An historic hotel in a beautiful part of New Zealand. Clean, comfortable room. Did it eat evening meals in dining room, exceedingly noisy group and dishes expensive and focused too much on seafood. Very good location though, on harbour front and very easy walking distance to tourist attractions and reasonable cafes.

Views and aspect with water right n front was great. Room very spacious. The bathroom extractor fan not working maybe for some time as small patch of mould on wall by ceiling. Ambience and heritage aspect was excellent. Food very good rather unfortunate incident where there was a piece of broken ceramic in the tempura batter on eggplant which otherwise was delicious. Staff responded well and must apologitic. Overall 4/5. Would stay again
