comfortable & not noisy

the shower pressure was too strong so the bathroom floor was wet halfway across the bathroom

Great!

Location, size, ease of check in.

It wasn’t clear that their restaurant would be shut. It would have been good to have been told as it was Easter and we had not organised anywhere else to eat.

Good for the money

Good location. Room was a decent size

Room was very smelly, not sure if perhaps it had flooded during the cyclone but really needed to be aired out or have the carpets cleaned. Very tired but ok for the price.

The place is very quiet at night. Also, the service at salty dog was great and the food too.

Nothing to say.

Only go there if you don't bring a dog or they'll charge you $40 for nothing

Reasonable size of the room and nice garden even in the back of the house. Gas station right next to the hotel and also a liquor store. Pub and restaurant belong to the hotel but I didn't eat there, so no idea about the quality or the prices

First of all they charge $40(!) for bringing your dog with the reason that (quote:) "they always leave such a mess". Might be true but not necessarily. Couldn't you just charge a fair amount or even better just nothing when your pet is cleaner than most children and better behaving as well?! (When you mention it, you get treated like a Karen and just ignored btw, even though you say it in a normal tone) And if charging such an amount, why were there stains in my room? I expect the room being super clean for charging such a fee but the opposite appeared. (I took the pictures right after entering the room, so not much more than a bit of vacuuming was done to this floor). The rest of the stay was ok, even though the back door didn't close very well. Even after checking if locked, it opened once or twice. Maybe just a bit run out. The mattresses could get changed as well bc no matter on which side you fell asleep, you ended up in the middle of the bed and I was by myself and wasn't pulled there by a partner.

Just what we needed, a clean room and a comfy bed for the night

The room was bright, clean and fresh, no problem with the facilities except Sky TV would have been nice! The staff were very pleasant, checking in and out very easy.

The food in the restaurant was very not good - very average and straight out of packets.

What a Treasure!

We LOVED the Salty Dog Inn. What a wonderful surprise. Snells Beach is a hidden treasure even in the rain. I booked it for one night on our way from Rotorua to Paihia. I wish we had made this more than in interim stopover. The room was wonderful. The restaurant food delightful. The staff was excellent. And did I mention the great WIFI? You can not go wrong staying here!

Nothing. Everything exceeded expectations.

Friendly and convenient

The staff were very friendly. Because of flight delays we ended up arriving 4 hours later than we planned, right on closing time. The staff at the time were very friendly and happy to make us some bar snacks for dinner. And a cot was also provided for our baby.

We had to leave after breakfast the next morning so if there is something to note it didn't happen to us. Our stay was pleasant

Great value in a great location

Large comfortable beds. Big bathroom and a sitting area. The grounds were kept clean and the garden was lovely. We only stayed over night but we'd stay there again.

For the price, it was great 👍
