8/10
With the ferry wharf right at the front with easy access to downtown Auckland and a direct ferry to Waiheke Island, the seaside location in sweet Devenport with lots of cafés and vintage shops in original Victorian building around the corner couldn't be better. A short walk to Victoria Mountain with an amazing 360 degrees view of Auckland and surroundings.
The hotel staff is nice and helpful and bar and restaurant sufficient, - breakfast is also nice. Rooms range from just the basics to larger seaside view rooms. You get, what you pay for, but it all seemed like good value for money. And yes, - we might consider coming back another time if in Auckland area.
