Great location, convenient for walking to the harbor or lively areas. The double room is comfortable, with a private bathroom, and a decent amount of space. The room is very clean. The front desk staff is courteous and offers temporary luggage storage. The kitchen utensils are not very complete, and some guests don't have the best habits when using the communal kitchen. Used dishes are often piled up in the sink without being washed immediately, which is a minor drawback.

We had a wonderful time on this cruise. The Hauraki Gulf was breathtaking, and the guided tour provided both comfort and interesting commentary throughout the journey. Even though we did not get to see the whales this time, the experience was still very enjoyable and memorable. The stop at Man O’ War Vineyards was a highlight—relaxing, scenic, and the perfect opportunity to enjoy local wines and food at our own pace. The crew were welcoming and attentive, making the day feel well-organized and pleasant. A great experience overall, and we would happily recommend this tour.

Worth the time and Simon was really helpful. Nice guide! Wine quality wise bit average so as the food. However, trip like this is to find out if it fits you or not. so cannt complain. Recommend the trip for those like to have a disconnect and enjoy the view on the island.

very friendly staff, views were beautiful even though it was overcast when we went, if you’ve been to other towers around the world it’s definitely a must do to compare how high you can go!
