Tides Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous stay, thankyou!! Close to everything! Food in the restaurant was exceptional - breakfast & dinner 🍽 dinner...."

Palazzo Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great"

The Hotel Nelson

8/10 Good

"While the property is well presented and the rooms and housekeeping very good, the same cannot be said about the staff. The front desk reception staff member spent over 10 minutes on a phone call before acknowledging my presence (and another guest checking in at the same time) and providing the room key. The staff in general around the property seem very ambivalent - customer service is certainly not part of their mantra."

Kimi Ora Eco Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place to stay. Views were spectacular. Would definitely go again"

DeLorenzo's Studio Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing place to stay. Walkable to town, friendly staff, parking, mini kitchen, in room laundry, pool, clean. Great value. Highly recommended."
