I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel with well-appointed rooms that had a nice terrace to unwind after a long day. The service was attentive without being intrusive; they really made me feel welcomed. The location offered a charming atmosphere in Havelock North with everything I needed just a short walk away. However, I think the dining options could use a bit of improvement, especially for breakfast. Overall, it felt like good value for money, even if some aspects weren't perfect.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. The location is superb, making it easy to explore local shops and restaurants. The service was a bit hit-or-miss, with some staff being incredibly helpful while others seemed disinterested.

My stay was quite pleasant overall, with clean and comfy rooms and a fantastic dining experience. The staff attitude was great, contributing to the cozy atmosphere, although the service at the bar could use improvements. The hotel is situated in an adorable town with a wealth of cafes nearby, making it easy to explore and unwind. However, if you're looking for a more robust drink service, you might want to consider heading out instead of relying on the hotel's bar.
