Good but last night disappointed
Hotel is away from town centre which is ok as it’s on a wonderful peninsula. Had a good stay except we were upgraded to a disabled room and would change our room. Put last night we decided to eat alacarte we both ordered different meals yet the waitress served 2 of the same, it then took 40 minutes for my wife’s meal. Not ideal we had to push the point it was unacceptable, offered a free drink, or free starters we said no. They went back and forth until they decided to give my wife’s meal or free. They really should have comped the whole meal as it was the waitress who made the mistake and really didn’t care saying why doesn’t she just have what I delivered. Just left a bad taste on my mouth

Great location, but tired.
Great location by the water, but room and bathroom are in need of a refresh. Quite a lot of mould in the shower. Towels were stained and old. One face cloth was grey and my daughter found a towel with make up all over it.

Josh and the the lady on the desk when we arrived were excellent. The bed was clean but the room and overall facility are tired and worn. The shower curtain had some black mold. The restaurant staff was hit and miss.

Could be fantastic but old and dates now. Quiet location, nice pool area but freezing cold. Rooms, hallway tired. Breakfast basic but standard selection Again a little money spent could make this great. Rooms upstairs loud if you are on the ground floor I was woken at 4am and 6am. A gym would be great too

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.
