Raglan Harbour View Hotel
What a charming hotel with very friendly staff. Right in the centre of this beautiful little town. Cosy , but clean room with a lovely verandah where I sat to have my morning cuppa.

Novotel Auckland Airport
The room was spotless , the bed very comfortable and the staff were very courteous friendly and helpful. I ate in the dining room at dinner and of course breakfast , the food was delicious, I was able to store my luggage as my flight back to the UK was an evening departure.

Sunnynook Cottage Sea Views Top Location, walking distance to town.
Sunnynook was perfect for our weekend: close to other attendees, gorgeous views for early morning coffee and hiding from the heat. Although we didnt avail ourselves of many of the amenities it was very well appointed and everything i did look for was there. Small comment re: up and down floor levels ...
