We stayed in one of the unusual/unique container style rooms with an allocated parking space. Ours was upstairs. The room was new, spacious and well equiped. It is a very short walk to the shops, restaurants and waterfront of Whakatane. Friendly helpful person on reception. Definitely recommend staying here.

A good nights sleep...

We had a two night stay, it was really great, we stayed in the old part of the Hotel which has been fully refurbished. There was plenty of room, great Air Conditioning, bathroom was a little small but otherwise ok. Staff were really great, helpful and friendly, café / restaurant located down stairs, so overhaul a great stay, and hopefully will stay here again.
