With 30 years of Hospitality experience, we enjoy meeting and hosting people from all over New Zealand and the World. We enjoy making our guests welcome and comfortable. We love to travel ourselves, we enjoy sport, reading, wine and cooking.
We are situated within walking distance to the iconic Caroline Bay, Rose Garden, Cafes, Bars, Restaurants and Shopping. View the Penguins at Caroline Bay just on dusk as they come in from the sea to feed their young in the rocks. They are very cute.
