Great staff member who came to open reception for me after 11 pm. Great friendly communication prior to arrival. I had room 5 and it was perfectly clean and comfortable. Good bed and shower and quiet neighborhood. Very convenient position when coming from the late ferry then travelling up north. ...

Great town. I lived there for over 60 years!
Shops and dining in close proximity, nice neighbourhoods
Petone is way more interesting than Petone
Feels like home.
We stayed in PETONE, some great little cafes on Jackson Street, the main shopping street. Walk along the beachfront and Wharf. Catch a train into town.
