We got to spend a couple of nights here looking out over the water from an upstairs unit. What a special place to stay. The room is exceptional, large with it's own large balcony. We could also sit in the room and pull folding doors across if the other half wanted to sleep. So two seating areas both generous in... More

This was our second stay at this hotel.the setting right on the sea ,particularly with the amazing sunsets is brilliant.The restaurant is excellent with a very reasonably priced wine list.The food is really well done including the buffet breakfast.the service is very friendly with lovely attentive young staff. The rooms are not really up to standard for a 4 star... More

We had driven from Cape Riengi and were so lucky to get a room as the Hotel was full. The staff were excellent, all very friendly and so helpful. Having worked in hospitality this is how I liked my staff to be. It felt like everyone was part of the team, from reception through to the guy cleaning the pool... More

My husband and I recently had two nights of rest and relaxation at the Copthorne and really enjoyed the wonderful location on the edge of the harbour.

I vowed that I would one day return for more than a few hours. This February we were blessed with an impromptu visit to the Copthorne Waitangi... More

I didn't have any of the issues that recent travelers had. The whole experience from booking to check out was wonderful. The breakfast was comprehensive and well presented. The room was a good size and clean. We were there for 2 nights. We looked at the dinner prices, they werent the rippoff prices that some hotels charge, but due to... More

wonderful location and the staff were pleasant.The problem was with the kitchen.......waited 1 hour for poached eggs, cold overcooked bacon.very disappointing.No buffet through the week it seems.Waited a very long time for dinner the previous night.Food was overpriced for the quality, $33 for pork belly that was very stringy.side plate of beans at $8.50 was over the top.The seafood chowder...

the service in this place is very poor. obviously minimum wage and poor staff training make this place a much lesser resort that what it should be. the rooms were not well cleaned. quite a few hairs found. we had to wash the cups to have a cup of tea. the breakfast was a bit of a farce. we took...
