Summary: Warm, friendly & helpful hostess who had just recently taken over the hotel. Stunning views over the Bay of Islands. However breakfast service and content was poor at times. The room lacked aspects at this price level. Towels were frayed, no safe for valuables. Also access to the hotel is tight and challlenging.
