"Just loved the room, the courtyard outside the room and the stunning view of the ocean."

10.0

The room was spacious and clean with the view of the ocean. I definitely recommend to anyone to at least to stay one or two nights as I guarantee you would want to return with your friends and family.

I had the lamb shanks for dinner which was cooked well but instead of a mashed potato with it (as the waiter said it will come with), but it was creamy oily potatoes that did not go well with your traditional lamb shanks.

The room is very modern with a top finish and attention to detail. The outlook over the Hokianga bar is fantastic and was topped with the setting of the sun over the Tasman sea.

The entrance door was difficult to open and lock. The sliding door out to the garden was very noisy and difficult to open. After walking into a wonderful room with a great view, it was disappointing to have a sliding door that did not open smoothly.
