The location is lovely and the grounds are gorgeous. The pool is lovely (but not heated). The rooms were fine, the bathroom was dated and fush was fiddly. Overall a good place to stay for a family holiday.

Friendly & Helpful. But I think they should be doing the renovation like the bath vanity. The house keeping can improve the service like checking the bottle of shampoo & bath soap both are empty when I’m starting the shower. Can you imagine!!

We had a spectacular 2 night stay over Matariki weekend. Seaside room with stunning views of the well kept grounds. We also had food and drinks from the cafe while sitting out by the pool which was all great and staff were all very accommodating.

Copthorne Bay of Islands needs a major upgrade, housekeeping needs to be retrained and certain staff need to learn the accuracy of the information they provide. Check in for 2pm but had to wait and additional 30minuts due to “housekeeping” needing time to clean. Upon arrival room was not cleaned properly. No tap to drink water or fill up the kettle. Rooms are not sound proof can hear kids running up and down hallways, banging doors, and making noise. However we did enjoy the scenery and two staff members who were absolutely amazing.

Lovely Staff and Service, Budget Room for Cost
Check in and out was seamless. The staff and service was excellent, as was the food. We found the roomexpensive for how budget it was. The soundproofing is virtually non existent, so we had a herd of elephants dancing above us until late at night, and starting again at 6am. Sadly, we found the night nice, but won't make the effort to stay here again.
