They stopped doing my favorite cocktails but the Ernest Hemingway Daiquiri is great. Actually all their cocktails are great. Not a cheap destination though.
Global winner of the Dilmah High Tea Challenge '15, their selection is amazing and a steal for what you pay. Please book before you go.
If you're going to do it go all out and do the 6 course meal and wine pairing . Absolutely amazing experience and very knowledgable attentive staff . Worth the money. A++
Love the cocktails . The Southern Hemisphere is my favorite. Not cheap .
Good place for cocktails , pricey & horrific hotel design can make it hard to focus, view of bay from 3rd floor rocks
The fillet steak was fabulous. Recommend the 'Salmon sashimi my way' too!
When they can serve steak without giving you a steak knife, you know the food is outstanding.
Large and fresh
Such a beautiful setting for High Tea !
High Tea ! High Tea ! High Tea !
Good food bad service
Cocktails here are amazing.
Try the degustation menu with matched wines .
The Black pudding and bacon breakfast...yummy
Whatever you eat, just do it!
Food quality & presentation decent (we all had steaks ), but overpriced vs. other Welly restos offering steak . Fun this the 1st time, but probably not going back.
Nothing better than the high tea !
A great accommodation experience! Interesting and hospitable - even has a pillow menu! - Natalee-Jewel Kirby
7th floor, only for members access. Great view and quiet place, good to get some work done. At least until the bar opens in the afternoon. Cool water/city views too. - Ruben Garcia Mohedano
Cool hotel, good sized rooms. Mirrors everywhere in bathrooms. - Kim Walbridge
The nature exhibit is fantastic, great for kids and adults alike. Love the Gallipoli exhibit, fantastic! - Inge Van Bokhoven
I would say that's the best bar we've found in Wellington. Cozy atmosphere and tasty drinks. The entrance is not that obvious — in the best traditions of hidden bars. - Elena Kiseleva
