I liked that it was close to the waterfront and great restaurants. We had issues with noise however. There are lots of signs around promoting being considerate of guests around being quiet. However our room although lovely it was 2 units away from the hotel's restaurant and bar area which was actually very noisy and impacted on our second night's stay. Wouldn't want to spend another Saturday night due to this.

There is quite a lot of noise in the location, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. Many cars driving past and people making noise late into the night. It can be quite disturbing when you’re trying to sleep.

Good afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback. We do have an on-site manager to help with any problems with noise within the hotel, unfortunately we cannot control the noise outside of the premises at times this happens especially over event weekends etc. We hope the rest of your stay was pleasant. Regards Bluewater Hotel

Hi, I booked the room which was a ‘superior with spa bath‘. As shown on the website there was a spa inside the room and one bed. Our room did not have a spa in the room, it was in the bathroom instead. We also had one king bed an one single bed which took up most of the room. i thought the photos were quite deceiving. Also when we arrived we were asked to pay a $250 bond which was not stated online. In some areas of our room we couldn’t get wifi. I was very disappointed in my first stay at the hotel. And properly wouldn’t come back. Thanks Sarah

Good morning, Thank you for submitting your feedback. Had you made this aware to reception at the time we may have been able to move you to another room with only a king bed and the spa in the room (This is subject to availability and needs to be requested at the time of booking) We have just upgraded our Wi-Fi so there shouldn't have been any issues but we will get someone in today to have a look at this. As per the bond - It is standard practice for most hotels to charge a bond if you cannot provide a credit card for security. We hope you can give us another chance in the future. Kind regards From the team at Bluewater Hotel.
