Paul, Aug 2025
Pros (+) Cosy Lounge with open fire . Loved the old world atmosphere with interesting art work
Cons (-) Most disappointed in my dinner. Ordered Sirloin Steak. Tough as old boots. Left half on my plate. Certainly not up to standard for a classy restaurant charging high prices.

Kay, Jul 2025
Pros (+) A quick ferry trip from Paihia into another world. The food was amazing, the restaurant exquisite. The room was lush, the bed OMG so comfy. Just loved every minute of being there
Cons (-) Having drinks at the bar and on one occasion we were frowned upon for not tipping. Nothing was said, it was the action of the bar person that made us feel uncomfortable. Only happened once.
