    The property has had a great deal of upgrade recently and the property is probibly of a higher standard than the town can support.

    Mine host was superb, nothing any trouble. Pity that the town was a little past its best but we with his help made the most of it.

    Quite a bit of road noise being on the state highway. Very little choice for eating out in Kaikohe, and no cooking facilities at the hotel meant takeaways were really the only option.

    Lovely renovated old bank building. Our room was very spacious. The host was extremely accommodating.

    It was all good for us. As we were the only guests in a big old building, it might not have suited a line traveller

    The Left Bank is a Listed Historical Place lovingly renovated. It was a privilege to stay there. Keith did everything to make our stay work for us.

    Kaikohe unfortunately has lost a lot of business and is a mere shadow of itself. The weekend we visited, the town seemed to be overrun with rampent youth with too much time on their hands roaming streets in gangs. Very sad.

    We stayed in the historic cottage 8n the grounds. Roomy,, peaceful. Beautiful property, has fruit trees and a good sized lawn to relax in. Keith the manager was very helpful.

    There was no breakfast available but we could use the kitchen, and had tranported food so we were OK.

    We found the Left Bank a surprise. So surprising to have a Heritage Building in Kaikohe, and we wer very well looked after by our host. It was very generous of Keith to put us in THE COTTAGE, where we had access to the kitchen and could also sit outside and enjoy the simple garden.

    It was quite noisy in town, but it did quieten down in the late evening.

    It was close to the 'Twin Coast Rail Trail', which was very convenient. The old bank building is lovely and very comfortable.

    No hotel parking but safe locked parking available over the road for a small charge. No meals or restaurant.

    This was a beautifully renovated bank made into a classy hotel. Sadly due to staff deficit and unfireseeable circumstances there was no restaurant operating , therefore no breakfast available which always makes it more difficult, however the hotel allowed guests to use a small kitchen and dining area which was good. The rooms and bathrooms were beautiful .

    A shame the place didn't have food available, hopefully in the future. The town didn't have much to offer, especially at this time of year (New Year holiday time.)

    Fantastic property, the host explained the history of this place. A unique place to stay. Loved it!!

    Honestly it was so charming Im only being picky but replace the plastic coat hangers on the back of the door, and a reading lamp for at night as the light was not strong enough to read in bed.

    Someone else booked my stay so I had no expectations however it was delightful. The little quaint cottage had great atmosphere I just wanted to stay on.

    Unfortunately, the restaurant wasn’t open due to staff shortages.

    One of the most beautiful rooms we have ever stayed. We had one of the Delux Rooms. The owners have taken meticulous care to preserve the history of the building and the rooms without compromising on modern comforts. It’s worthwhile reading the story on their website. We stayed as we’re doing the Cycle trail.
