Mokoia Island, Bay of Plenty Region hotel rooms at the Independent

"Hotel room was fine and comfortable, but the restaurant experience was not smooth. We did not feel welcome at 9:45am and the server was not having a good morning and seemed very distracted and unsure of what she was doing. Perhaps she was new, but having breakfast there did not go well. "

"The hotel is a uniquely decorated boutique hotel. It was about a 10 minute walk from the tourist info bldg. and a quick walk to the food alley and the waterfront promenade. We were allocated a very spacious suite on ground level in the bdlg. close to the hotel entrance. However, the room had its drawbacks. The TV is located too far from the beds for easy viewing ... we assume the designers assumed people would sit on the sofa to watch . Our room had a locked connecting door to an adjacent room ....

"Just did not get any spa salt the second day! Great tub but very deep! And can be dangerous and slippery. "

"The room was very spacious, everything was very clean and comfortable. The staff was really nice and helped me with a heater upon my request, and also gave me suggestions of spots to go in the city. The common areas were very well taken care of. Would definitely stay there again. "

"Nice place to stay. Nice pool"

"We stayed in the cabin with a private kitchen. It came with towels, pots, pans, dishware and cutlery, fridge, microwave and hotplates to prepare food. Our stay was amazing. We loved the hot pool and the location. The cabin had heating and was warm (very cosy). The shared bathrooms were clean, with a hairdryer for ladies. Not sure if there were any dishes in a shared kitchen. Easy check in/out experience, very nice staff in reception. We'll be returning."

"Great stay, clean hotel and very convenient location right next to the mall, supermarkets and a short walk to the lake"

"Nice clean convenient place for an over nighter. Would recommend"

"What I liked was the peacefulness what I didn't like is I thought I booked the room with a jet spa bath but I did not overall was good experience."
