Hotel on Devonport
Vehicle access to the building from the street is very tight if there are cars parked on the other side of the road from the entrance. I have quite a large vehicle and had to back /forward several times to get in - and nearly gave up.

Trinity Wharf Tauranga
This hotel is a little older-looking than the pictures. The room was dated. The view was stunning. The gym was well-equipped. The pool was nice, but again a little dated. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The hot tub was wonderfully therapeutic. The grounds were clean and well maintained. Star gazing was premium with minimal light interference. Would be nice if they turned off the exterior cabin lights or use diffuse lightfound light Iat night for better star gazing ! Lovely place will stay again. ...
