Way beyond expectations. We booked with the expectation of a room with a view. We were delighted with the private penthouse suite. Better and bigger than our apartment. It had not one but two rooms with a magnificent view of Devonport wharf and Waitemata harbour.

Location is fantastic! You can’t get better. Corner of the street , opposite to the ferry terminal, next to shop and restaurant. 5 minutes from old/heritage theatre. Bed is comfortable, good pressure in the shower. Staff are really nice. It has caracter! As it is old it does have some squeaking floor board and the solarium is single glazed but it’s also part of the charm. Just don’t expect soundproof and immaculate doors and fabric as it is vantage. I definetly would stay back there if I return to Devonport.

The staff was so accommodating! We ended up needing an extra night so we booked via a different website and the staff combined our two reservations and even switched us rooms when a fan wasn’t working to an upgraded view! We were so extremely comfortable and it was the perfect location right in main Devonport a one minute walk to the ferry which we took everyday downtown.
