We stayed in the thick of Waitangi preparations, so it was understandably busy. The room was fine enough for our needs as we were only there for two nights. Staff were helpful, and checking in and out was easy. We were misgendered on our welcome letter (Mr & Mrs Sykes, instead of Mr & Mr Sykes), but mistakes happen

Loved the location of this hotel. The concierge Dimitri was very attentive but the restaurant staff were not on the ball. We had to wait over an hour for our pudding and when we raised this it was dismissed and told we didn’t wait that long. The breakfast was not kept tidy throughout the service and there were many spillages around the cooked breakfast area. The pool area was lovely. The bedroom was spacious but some of the fittings had seen better days. Wood was warped and chipped around the fridge. The Waitaingi treaty grounds were excellent and easy access from the hotel.

This was our 8th stay at the Waitangi Copthorne, we usually go once a year and for the same reason, it is close to home while still feeling like you are on holiday, our children love the pool area and the team are always friendly.

We recently stayed at the Copthorne Resort in the Bay of Islands. The room was comfortable and provided a decent place to relax; however, the overall decor and amenities felt noticeably dated. The terrace outside our room was little more than a large concrete step, furnished with a couple of chairs awkwardly placed against the airconditioning unit, which didn’t add much to the relaxation vibe. Dining at the on-site buffet was a mixed experience. The food itself was good, but the setting had an institutional feel that detracted from the overall experience. While nothing was outright awful, the atmosphere left me feeling that we'd explore other options if we return to the area. Overall, if you’re seeking a modern, updated resort experience, you might want to look elsewhere, though the basic comfort might suffice if that’s all you need
