This is a hidden treasure. It is very good value for money. The view from the upstairs balcony is worth a million dollars. And I ate in the restaurant, they kindly accommodated me even though it was full, and the food was excellent.

Lorryl New Zealand

I thought the location of the hotel was exceptional. looking over the bay and onto the mountains. I had a room on the balcony and loved the breeze coming in. As there were comunal ablutions & lounge the site exceeded expectations

Phillip Australia

Very good, just down the hall from my room and very clean

Derek Australia

Wow... the views, the food, the staff... pretty much the best budget accommodation I've come across so far.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Pier Hotel. Such an unexpected gem and surprisingly affordable for the location and quality. The restaurant was also fabulous - one of our best meals of the trip.
