Had a great stay. Room was very nice and staff were lovely. They had excellent underground parking that was free and are in an area with lots of restaurants and shopping. Havelock North is a great little town. My only suggestion is that they do away with the free guest laundry. The dryers don’t work well and that situation led to bad feelings between guests. I saw numerous conflicts. Better they don’t offer it at all.

I made a booking but for the wrong date, human error. I rung the property to inform them but they told me they couldn’t do anything because we’d booked through a 3rd party. It was our wedding anniversary and so looking forward to staying here but they didn’t care, mentioned the system wouldn’t allow them to change the date. I’ve always wanted to stay here but due to having no empathy I’d never stay here, How hard would it be to reserve a room for the following night? Shame on you, like life isn’t hard enough!
