This felt like a honeymoon suite and was the outstanding accommodation of our whole holiday exploring most of New Zealand. The bedroom was large and very comfortable with a delightful balcony and its bathroom was luxurious in every way. Breakfast was delicious and as stylish as the rest of the hotel, all prepared to order, not a buffet.

    Overall the hotel was very average certainly not what we were expecting (having stayed previously in 3 other Sofitel hotels). Decor was very dated and not tasteful at all. Restaurant and bar closed!! 5 stars NO! Crazy ……..
