Disliked: Cleanliness
Room poorly serviced. Bed poorly made. There wasnt even a shower mat. Very mean with tea and coffee choices. TV poorly set up requiring tuning and access selection for HDMI everytime you turned it on. For $28 the parking access is poor which wasnt charged on our previous visit.

Ok for short stop over.
We just used this for a single night stop before catching the ferry to South Island. I wouldn’t want to stay more than 1 night, as room was too warm and couldn’t be cooled without lots of noise. Pillows were too soft for me and couldn’t see any choice for firmer ones.

Small but adequate room. The restaurant really let this place down. Food was awful - tasteless and expensive for what it was. The main course took ages to come and the veges while nicely presented were undercooked and the lamb unseasoned. Weirdly, we couldn't pay for it that night as no staff could take the money, however at 0530 am the staff could. It was convenient to where we were going.

I found the staff welcoming and the room was all that I needed. Loved the peek of the Harbour from my window. Really like that you could open a window and get fresh air. The best thing was their Etaon Mess dessert.

We were catching the ferry to Southland early the next day so the Atura was very handy, only a few minutes drive to the port. The room was clean and comfortable, so exactly what we required.

I am a researcher, so the property is very convenient to the research centres that I have to use: Alexander Turnbull; The National Archives and the Parliamentary Library. The reception staff were efficient and personable. They upgraded my room to one better suited to my needs: I am a single traveller and they moved me from a double bed unit (ordered online) to a single bedroom. They carefully explained the "Going Green" option, (which I did). The room was spacious with nice vistas of the streets and green belt. the facilities were excellent: Writing desk, iron and iron board, wardrobe, spacious shower and toilet. I went for the green option (3 nights), so cannot comment on the cleaning of the room. I do wish , however, that the coffee machine came with instructions, but I worked it out after two attempts. The wifi is excellent, which is essential for my purposes. I did eat in and the restaurant staff were always accomodating, and the food was more than acceptable. There is a supermarket nearby should you want to prepare your own food. Overall, my stay at Atura was an excellent experience. I will be staying with them again.
