first and formost Simon and Penny are real people. They want their clients to have a memorable time and they work at achieving same. they are not intrusive but are there to help if you have a problem. TV in our case. We had a night on Waiheke and when we got back Penny had restored the quiet quarter to its original condition.

    Great location for the cafes, bars and restaurants at the bottom end of town and only a 15-20 minutes walk to Sky City or alternatively an $8-10 Uber fare. High end designer shopping 600mtrs and Lime scooters available 200 mtrs away, this property has it all. Easy parking by Wilson Parking right outside the property. Very quiet, couldn’t hear anything from the nearby units.

    Loved the design, lighting, bathroom, bed was like a cloud! Bathroom and hygiene products made it luxury a robe would have taken it over the top. Slives for the modern/vintage vibe of the place and that I could see the sea and have the sun in my room in the morning. Great location for spark gigs. Waterfront, ferries, Britomart. With a lovely walk up to high street to access Albert park and the gallery, this side of queen street is really working.

    We absolutely adored everything about QT. It is new, original, arty, modern, stylish, fun, thoughtful, unhotely, beautifully situated on the viaduct/waterfront, wonderful young super helpful staff, huge TV with chromecast. What more could you want? A Dyson hairdryer, Nespresso coffee, boutique gins and a water bottle for filtered water available outside our room. Art everywhere, great easy carparking under the hotel. Lovely restaurant, rooftop bar, quirky interior design and staff who couldn’t do enough to make our stay great.
